If you've been reading my blog for a while now you probably know I am a fan of meal prep and getting my meals ready for the week on Sunday. Every once in a while though, something comes up, my schedule gets thrown off, and meal prep just doesn't always happen. Here are some of my go-to's when I need to make a healthy dinner in a pinch:
Breakfast for Dinner
Eggs, omelets, protein pancakes, and protein oats are all some of my favorite options when it comes to easy dinners. One of my favorites is 2 eggs cooked, along with a sweet potato microwaved for 8 minutes and topped with coconut butter and cinnamon.

Smoothie in a Bowl
One of my favorite meals of all time is a smoothie in a bowl. It's filling, tastes great, and takes 5 minutes tops to make. In this smoothie is a scoop of strawberry shakeology, frozen kale, 100 grams of frozen strawberries, 1 cup of unsweetened vanilla almond milk, 1/2 cup ice, and 1/2 tsp. of xantham gum.

Stir Fry
Stir fries can be quick, simple, and packed with veggies, plus they come together quick. In this is diced chicken breast, edamame, bell pepper, broccoli, and shredded carrots cooked with coconut oil and topped with coconut aminos. You can use any protein or veggies you have on hand in these.
Protein and Veggies
Make a super simple, protein, vegetable, and optional complex carb combo. Grill chicken, steam some spinach, and boil quinoa or brown rice. Fast and filling with an awesome nutrient profile.
Mix and Match Salad
Make a salad with anything you have on hand. Pictured above is baby spinach, turkey, carrots, bell pepper, strawberries, sunflower seeds, raisins, and goat cheese. Any extra veggies, proteins, and healthy fats you have on hand, toss in your salad.
Now you tell me...what's your favorite go-to when you need dinner fast?
