Nothing is more comforting to me on a cold day than a nice hot bowl of soup, but I don’t always find myself feeling completely satisfied after that meal or I feel hungry again an hour later. This soup holds a protein and fibre boost to help keep me feeling full for longer. I love to make big batches of soup in the cold months and freeze them in individual portions for a quick lunch or dinner, any day of the week!
Who says pumpkin spice season is over? Not me! One of my favourite things about the fall is a delicious, warm, spiced baked good, but I try to reach for something that will help me stay satisfied as well. These oat bars don’t only pack a fibre punch, but they are loaded with micronutrients from the star ingredient; Pumpkin! Pumpkin is an excellent source of vitamins A and C, as well as potassium. These bars have all of the delicious flavours of the season, making them a go-to for this time of the year.
Do you ever skip breakfast and, come lunch time, feel absolutely ravenous, end up overeating and maybe even feel exhausted for most of the afternoon? Or maybe feel hungry a few hours after dinner, causing you to snack on whatever you can find for most of the evening? I find breakfast meal prep recipes to be one of my most effective ways to help change these patterns of eating, and these savory, high-protein breakfast muffins are a great option. Not only are they delicious, but contain about 20g of protein per muffin! I love to keep these in the freezer for an easy, nutritious and delicious breakfast, to help start any day of the week off on the right foot.
I love recipes that can double as side dishes or an entree, and this fresh and flavourful roasted vegetable salad recipe is one of my favourites! As packed with vitamins and minerals and it is delicious, this salad is sure to become a new member in your weekly rotation. I love that I can swap out the veggies for whatever I have on hand, or even use whatever seasonal veggies are out at the store! I love to use the leftovers to make this a complete meal by adding canned chickpeas or chopped cooked chicken breast for a delicious yet satisfying meal.
On hot summer days, the last thing I want to do is turn on my stove. One of my favourite summertime meals is a crisp and refreshing sandwich that requires little prep and no stove. A sandwich is also a great way to ensure you are having a balanced meal - whole grain carbohydrates, lean protein and loaded with veggies for fibre. This sandwich uses leftover rotisserie chicken as the protein source - one of my summertime staples for quick, nutritious and delicious meals. Loaded with your favourite veggies, this sandwich can be customized to your preferences and enjoyed year-round!
