This dish packs a nice protein punch thanks to the greek yogurt as well as fiber from the chia seeds, berries and whole grain granola.  It’s a perfect start to the day!

This meal is one of my favorites lately!  It’s so flavorful and keeps me full for hours thanks to the healthy fat from the avocado and the protein from the eggs.  I like to round it out with a side salad and some fruit.

THURSDAY SNACK: Whole roasted cauliflower with chipotle adobo yogurt dipping sauce  A week of easy, balanced meal & snack ideas: thursday - perfect to keep you going through a busy week! // cait's plate

I loooooove roasted vegetables – especially when you can pair them with a fun dipping sauce.  Not a cauliflower fan?  Try my oven-baked sweet potatoes or kale chips instead!  Not a roasted veggie fan in general?  Try pairing raw veggies (carrots, snap peas, cucumbers) with a little plain greek yogurt or peanut butter for dipping!

THURSDAY DINNER: Black bean or turkey burger with lettuce, tomato, onion, avocado on a whole wheat bun with oven-baked sweet potato fries – if you’re looking for a little more veggies, add some corn on the cob!

This is a no-fail dinner for me – it hits the spot every time!  With lean protein, whole grains and veggies – it packs a good nutrition punch!

Don’t forget, these are just ideas – jumping off points and inspiration for you to take into your kitchen and make your own!  Mix, match and substitute to make meals that fit your preferences and nutritional needs :)
