Easy Healthy Meals | gluten free, meal prep friendly, paleo recipes

So today I'm going to be sharing with you guys three healthy meal ideas that are not only good for you but of course taste delicious as well. We're making a veg taco bowl, a greek bowl, and then a chicken slaw bowl. They're all going to be good, delicious. Let's go ahead and jump in. So we are starting off by making our greek salad slash bowl. I am starting by slicing up some cucumbers. Cucumbers are fantastic because they are ultra hydrating. So adding them to bowls and to salads really helps to hydrate your body. And when we're hydrated our digestion works well. We're able to you know have great bowel movements and everything like that. So hydration is key. I'm also cutting up some tomato. Tomatoes are in season right now at least in my part of North America and they just have such good amounts of lycopene and vitamins. Plus with the cucumber it really tastes delicious. So I'm adding that into a bowl and then I'm putting some lemon juice on top which not only adds tons of flavor but also some vitamin c which is great to produce collagen in your body and also your immune system. I'm giving that some salt and pepper. I like this blend from Simply Organic and I just stir that together so that everything is kind of combined with the lemon juice and the seasoning. Then I'm going to add that on top of some lettuce. So I am using some butter lettuce here but you could also use spinach or your favorite greens. And of course for some protein I'm going to be using some chicken so I'm just adding this to a pan. But if you're vegan you can definitely do tofu here instead if you want to use your favorite organic non-gmo tofu. I like to add some seasoning to my chicken so I'm adding some oregano basil blend and then once that is cooked through I'm going to go ahead and add that to the top of my bowl. And then I'm going to put on some vegan feta in true greek bowl fashion. I love this one from Veolife. It tastes really good and the ingredients are clean as well. And of course the creamy feta with the warm chicken and the tomatoes, cucumbers. I'm finishing it off with some basil. I also like to add an extra squeeze of lemon on the top right before I'm going to eat it. And it's honestly so good and it's also meal prep friendly as well. So you can make a bunch in advance and then eat it throughout the week. Definitely a go-to. Next up we are making a fish taco bowl which is one of my favorites. So I'm starting off by chopping up some red onion. I adore red onion. It is so yummy. And then I'm going to cut up some peppers. Peppers have wonderful vitamins in them for you and I feel like they're really underrated. So I'm chopping up some peppers and onions to roast for our side veggies. Sprinkling that with some avocado oil and some cumin for flavor. While that's in the oven I'm going to go ahead and cook my fish. So I'm just using a simple tilapia that I seasoned with some smoked paprika and some garlic powder. I like to cook it for about three minutes per side. So after three minutes just go ahead and flip it over. You can do your favorite kind of white fish. You could do sole. You could do halibut. You could even do salmon if you want to do a salmon taco bowl. But if you want to keep it in true fish taco fashion I would keep it to your favorite white fish. So I'm adding the white fish on with my veggies that we roasted in the oven as well as some cauliflower rice that I steamed. And then I'm going to add in half of an avocado for some healthy fats. You could also do a big dollop of guacamole here if you have it but I find just the avocado works well too. A squeeze of lime to finish it off. And there you have your super easy fish taco bowl. You can batch cook a bunch of fish, bunch of veggies, bunch of rice and have this for many meals and prep it for the week as well. And then we are making a slaw bowl. This is kind of like a take on a quick you know simple summer bowl that you can make. So I'm chopping up some sweet potato. Sweet potato is wonderful because it has this not only wonderful orange flavor it has not much flavor orange color but it's full of fiber and the orange color actually has a bunch of beta carotene in it. And beta carotene is really good for your eyes. It's really good for your immune system. So we're getting a bunch of support for our bodies when we eat some delicious sweet potato. Plus of course it has that little sweet flavor. I like to drizzle mine with a little bit of avocado oil and then I'm going to be adding in some smoked paprika. And guys I think I mentioned this last year 2020 in like a bunch of different videos but smoked paprika on sweet potato is like my ride or die. It is so delicious because the combo of the smoky with the sweet of the potato is so yummy. Garlic powder throw that in the oven. While that's in the oven I'm making a quick simple slaw. Guys this is like a laser girl slaw. I don't make a separate dressing. I just you know take some coleslaw mix add in my favorite dressing and I allow that to sit. The longer you allow this to sit the more that the cabbage will kind of soften and the more like delicious slaw it's going to be. So I like to prep this in advance if you can and then have it throughout the week. And then for my protein for this one I am using chicken but you can use your favorite protein that you like. I'm adding on some everything but the bagel seasoning. And then while that's done cooking you're going to add in your slaw. You're going to take out your potatoes once they're done. And like I said all this can be prepped in advance. The longer the slaw sits the better. Then you can roast the potatoes in advance. Add those into your bowl and those are going to be ready to go. You can prep your chicken in advance or do this you know at that same time. Add that into your bowl. Obviously I like the you know everything bagel seasoning. Super delicious. Easy. And what I love about this is that we have our veggies. We've got like the delicious sweet potato. We have our seasoned chicken. Full of flavor. Easy meal. Meal prep friendly. And of course it tastes good too. So this is another one of my favorite easy healthy recipes.
