Breakfast
Emily says: “These are a great quick breakfast or an easy snack during the day. Skip the added chocolate, these are sweet enough on their own. I use dried cranberries and coconut flakes for my mix-ins.”
Lunch
Jody says: “I love most of the Skinnytaste recipes and the website is really easy to use and sort.”
Farro Salad with Thinly Sliced Zucchini, Pine Nuts, and Lemon Zest
Lorelei says: “Pine nuts can be very expensive, feel free to swap your favorite nut instead—I love walnuts or cashews here.” You can also use another grain, such as barley, instead of farro.
Dinner
Chicken & Summer Vegetable Tostadas
Cassie says: “This is a favorite weeknight meal for me and my family. Use whatever vegetables you have on hand, and you won’t miss the chicken if you leave it out. It makes great leftovers and the mixture is just as delicious without the tortillas.”
Jennifer says: “I second Jody’s shoutout for Skinnytaste recipes! This recipe is easy to make እና easy to clean up!”
Quinoa and Goat Cheese Stuffed Tomatoes
Amanda says: “I add chopped spinach to the quinoa mixture for added greens. I’ve also made this with bell peppers instead of tomatoes.”
Hayley says: “Skip the honey — it gets too sweet. I like to add red pepper flakes and serve with tofu seasoned with garam masala.”
