Let’s make this week stress-free and delicious. Here are 7 healthy dinners for the week ahead!

Orange Chicken Meal Prep Bowls

These chicken bowls contain 41 grams of protein! The flavor from the orange honey sauce is seriously SO GOOD! The fluffy rice and stir-fried veggies are a perfect pair with the crispy chicken. They are also a great choice for meal-prep if you have left overs or want to make a double batch. My kids love them too!

These bowls are super yummy and contain 44 grams of protein per serving! They are crunchy and juicy, providing the perfect texture and flavor. This meal can be made in just 45 minutes and is meal-prep friendly as well!

This is the perfect cold day comfort food, especially paired with some cornbread! It is packed with nutrients from the veggies, fiber-rich peas, broth and more. This is a great choice and only takes 35 minutes to make.

The cheesiest and creamiest lasagna you've ever had, I promise. It is made with healthy ingredients and has been a family favorite for years in my house! Filled with nutritious veggies and seasoned perfectly. You will love this one.

This lentil soup is vegan and gluten-free! This is a soup my kids love. It is incredibly flavorful, meal-prep friendly, and has healthy ingredients. Lots of nutrition and 13 grams of protein per serving. This one can be made in just over an hour.

This recipe has a 100+ 5-star reviews and 32 grams of protein! With it being high-protein and low-carb, it is an amazing dinner option. The noodles are made out of squash and my kids are literally obsessed with this meal.

This recipe is so easy to put together and then you just bake for 30 minutes. Filled with protein and veggies, this is a filling and nutritious meal option. Another kid approved favorite. You'll love this pasta recipe!
