This is truly the BEST Chicken Salad and it’s ridiculously easy to make and anything but boring. Do you grab a bagel, muffin or have cereal because it’s a convenient breakfast? Make your life easier by having this high-protein chicken salad instead!

Because when we start our day with foods that are high in sugar but low in protein, it makes our day so much HARDER. It triggers a blood sugar roller coaster that leaves us hungry, craving sugar and crashing by mid-day. Not to mention we stop fat loss in its tracks and lose a precious opportunity to build muscle. 

Struggling to find high-protein dinner ideas? You are in luck! This taco beef is not just for tacos. You can use it to make a dozen different and delicious meals. This one is on my recipe rotation because it takes me no extra thinking, very little planning, it’s ready in 20 minutes and it’s so satisfying!

Craving potato salad? Trying to reduce your carb intake? This keto-friendly No-Potato Salad is for you! This salad swaps higher-glycemic potatoes for rutabaga which has a similar texture to potatoes but is much lower in carbs! Rutabaga is a cruciferous veggie which means it can help us to detoxify excess & ‘bad’ estrogen from our body.

Is potato salad a health food? YES! Cooked & cooled potatoes are rich in resistant starch which is a prebiotic fiber that feeds our gut bugs. This helps to ensure our gut microbiome thrives in both population & diversity. And research has shown the more diverse our microbiome, the better our overall health! Adapted from Ina’s Garten’s French Potato Salad, this Fresh Herb & Dijon Potato Salad uses healthy fats, fresh herbs & broth for flavour, making this dish super supportive of our gut health!

This dressing is sweet but tangy, tasty & simple to make! And it’s even better when strawberries are in season! And did you know that strawberries contain more vitamin C than oranges? Vitamin C is a gut health superstar because it helps us to absorb iron and it is needed to make collagen which keeps our connective tissues (including our gut lining) strong & healthy.

Did you know that we ingest heavy metals daily? We’re exposed to these toxic metals through our air, food, water & body care products. Cilantro has been shown to bind to & help to eliminate these toxic metals from our body. This is why I try to incorporate it into my meals as often as possible. And this Cilantro Vinaigrette is an easy & tasty way to include it!

I bet you’ll stop buying store-bought salad dressing if you try this out! This is my go-to because it’s sooooo easy to make, delicious & super adaptable! And it’s made using healthy fat & not inflammatory oils like many dressings on the market.

Are you looking for a tasty & easy meal that will support your gut & weight loss goals? If you don’t like spending hours in the kitchen, this meal will be a go-to for you! By taking 30 min to prep the ingredients ahead of time, you’ll be ready to eat in 5 min during your busy week.

Do you want to support a healthy gut, your skin, workouts & muscle growth AND boost your immune defences? Eat raw red bell peppers! With the highest vitamin C content out of any fruit & veggie, this superfood supports our gut, helps to boost our immune system, fight fatigue, speed up recovery & it’s needed to form collagen. This Greek Salad is a tasty way to get in more peppers. It’s super quick to make & perfect for a weeknight, and especially this time of year with peppers, cucumber & tomatoes all in season.

If you are struggling to lose weight, have no energy or are dealing with gut issues, PMS or anxiety, you may be showing signs of hormonal &/or gut imbalance (which often come hand-in-hand). Raw carrot has a unique toxin-binding fiber that helps to clear out excess estrogen & bad bacteria which helps to restore balance. And if you find carrot sticks as boring as I do, turn them into Carrot Slaw!

This salad calls for curly endive, which is a slightly bitter & crisp green that is rich in antioxidants, folate, potassium & fiber (all great for heart health!). By supporting proper digestion, bitter foods can help us to absorb more nutrients from our food & discomfort from eating! But what I love most about this salad is that it’s ready in under 10 min & it tastes great.
