Clean Eating Dinner recipes?

enzosmama

Hi all- I am still building my repertoire of clean eating dinners and I am looking for new ideas. Preferable meals that include chicken breast, pork, or lean beef. I have three adults and an almost 3 year old to cook for and although I love things like chicken sausage and replacing ground beef with ground chicken or turkey not everyone in the family is a fan ;-)

Please share with me your most loved clean eating dinner recipes- the simpler the better!

Everyone's version of clean probably varies a bit. Here are some of my favs:

Fish tacos using mahi mahi and homemade slaw (made with apple cider vinegar not mayo)
Crockpot chicken (frozen, whole, whatever) with foil wrapped sweet or regular potatoes. Cover and let cook all day.
Chicken and "zoodle" (zucchini cut into noodle shapes w/ spiralizer) soup
Vegetarian chili
Casserole of whatever parts of chicken you like, no skin, with sliced onion, sweet potatoes and seasoning. Drudge veggies in a small amount of olive oil and season with your favorite chicken seasonings.
We like to do breakfast for dinner - protein pancakes are a hit at my house served with some fruit.

I make these the night before (except smoothie) and so I can pack it for work or eat it first thing in the AM. My kids love the stuff too. They are 11 - 15.


Breakfast or Snacks

1. 8oz Plain Greek Yogurt, 1 packet of truvia, and 1/2 cup of fruit you like. Mix together. (High Protein)
2. 8oz Plain Greek Yogurt, 1 packet of sugar-free mixed drink mix (kind u add to water. (High Protein)
3. Plain Hummus, cucumbers and Braggs Seasoning mixed together.
4. 1/2 Cup - Fat-free Cottage Cheese, 1/2 Cup - Plain Greek Yogurt, 1 packet truvia and add 1/4 to 1/3 cup of Fruit. Mix together (Lots of Protein)
5. Smoothie: 1 scoop of chocolate protein powder, 1/2 cup cold coffee, 1TBS of Peanut Butter Powder, 1/2 cup of spinach or kale, ice. Mix together in blender


Lunch or Dinner:

1. Chopped up grilled chicken breast, cucumbers, cherry tomatoes drizzled with olive oil and Braggs Seasoning. It is SO good and satisfying. Sometimes I add feta or chopped kale to it as well.
2. Shrimp Bowl: 10 -12 large Grilled Shrimp, 1/2 cup brown rice, 1/2 cup broccoli. I do this a lot and alternate the meats and veggies. Seasoning is key to making it flavorful without adding the calories!
3. Lettuce wraps - grilled beef, chicken, fish, ground turkey or beef, lettuce leaves (or cabbage), brown rice, salsa or pico and fat free shredded cheese, low sodium taco seasoning. Lay out lettuce leaf, layer ingredients: brown rice, meat, salsa, sprinkle some fat free cheese and wrap up like a taco.

This is what I had last night and I will finish the leftovers at lunch today.

Weight Watchers used this dressing (half the oil, add 2 tsp water), and added flaked chunk tuna, cucumber, purple onion, capers, and roasted peppers. WW skipped the Parmesan cheese.

I sorta followed it but I had a nice leftover salmon steak that I flaked instead. I used fresh peppers instead of roasted, sunflower seeds instead of capers, and Bok Choy because I like it better than Arugula.

One of my go to recipes is tilapia. I defrost frozen tilapia. Place in foil pack with slices of lemon and whatever seasoning you like. I serve with steamed broccoli; slaw; roasted potatoes or some orzo pasta. If I have with orzo, I pour the liquid from the foil pack over the pasta to flavor it.
