As a nutrition coach (Precision Nutrition Level One), I strive to make healthy eating PRACTICAL. I truly believe that good food doesn’t have to be boring but for moms, it does have to be simple!

This collection of 30-minute meals are loaded with healthy, nutrient-dense ingredients.

They’re all dairy-free and gluten-free and range from easy, no-bake recipes like veggie wraps to more comforting meals like teriyaki meatball bowls.

Some of the recipes are made to be paired with an easy side dish. Though most of them are complete meals in themselves.

 

Tips For Making Healthy Family Dinners In Under 30 Minutes

Whipping up nutritious meals doesn’t come without a bit of pre-planning.

If you want t truly make healthy dinners WORK for you, embrace a few of the following habits:

  • If you’re cooking two chicken breasts cook four (cook in bulk!)
  • Always have a grain or starch ready in the fridge (quinoa, rice, roasted chickpeas etc)
  • Use veggies twice (if you’re making easy roasted vegetables, make double and use the leftovers in a Buddha Bowl or quick pasta)

You don’t need to spend hours in the kitchen each Sunday getting ready for the week. But learning and implementing the meal prep basics will help keep dinnertime running smoothly.

 

Below you’ll find all of the 30-minute meals.
