These are recipes that I've personally made and enjoyed. I'm a minimal clean up person, so most of these recipes are mostly in one-pot! Please feel free to share your favorite recipes in the comments. I'm always looking for more dinner ideas!
The first soup I ever attempted and I still have yet to mess it up! It makes the house smell amazing & minimal cleanup required. Thank me later!
Loaded Baked Potato Soup
Super simple orzo recipe - it for sure takes closer to 20 minutes (learned that the hard way) but it's delicious. I added garlic and onion powder - but you can also use chicken broth to cook the orzo for more flavor!
One-Pot healthy orzo
There's been 1 too many times where I've had a dinner idea only to discover (as I'm in the middle of cooking) that I'm missing something… These boxes come with everything you need. I've tried 12+ different meals and I've enjoyed all of them. I highly...
HelloFresh Meal Kits

I kid you not, this meal kept me alive through college. It's all in one pot and it's SUPER easy. I cook some bacon (separately bc it doesn't get crispy enough in the pot) and mmmmhhmmmm that's the move. Easy one-pot dinner!

Veggie Garlic Noodles Recipe by Tasty

Tell me one person who doesn't like some Marry Me Chicken?! I'm convinced that if I make this enough, it will work! ;) lol
Marry Me Chicken
Grocery Staples
This is a list of things I buy from the store that also rate well on Yuka (showing they have safe and healthy ingredients!). I hope this can help spark an idea for a healthy meal! Let me know what you've tried and I'd love to hear what healthy foods ...
The KIND brand overall is SO good! I go through phases where I can't get enough granola bars (idk why I am the way I am) and I only buy the KIND brand. I used to be a Quaker girl until I scanned it and saw it had a horrible rating on Yuka for unhealt...
KIND Snacks: Healthy Snacks | Wholesome Granola
These rate “Excellent” on Yuka and they taste soooo good!
Apple Pie Bar
I honestly don't know the difference between yogurt and greek yogurt, but Oikos is delicious and they have a pretty solid variety of flavors! The vanilla is my favorite.
Oikos® Greek Yogurt
Chobani rates 78/100 on Yuka making it an excellent option. The vanilla and peach are my favorite - there are peach chunks in the peach flavor so make sure you keep that in mind if you're sensitive to texture!
Greek Yogurt | Vanilla
Two Good has a ton of different flavors, but vanilla and strawberry are the best in my opinion. They rate 84/100 on Yuka!
Two Good Low Fat Lower Sugar Vanilla Greek Yogurt
Yes, it's technically for babies, but these are delicious! I'm not normally hungry in the mornings, but having one of these at least puts some healthy foods in my belly without making my stomach hurt. What healthy breakfast options do you have?
Organic Apple Banana Peach Yogurt
These with some hummus… That's all I'm going to say bc it speaks for itself!
Triscuit Garden Herb Whole Grain Wheat Crackers, 8.5 oz
Kevins brand typically varies between 70-80's on Yuka (meaning it's good or excellent according to their ratings) and I have yet to try one that wasn't good. I like to make rice and some kind of veggie with it, but these are worth trying out for sure...
Korean BBQ Chicken
I switched to almond milk about 3 years ago and I just love the taste! It rates excellent on Yuka and there are different flavors (chocolate and vanilla) if you want to go that route!
Almond Breeze Unsweetened Original Almondmilk
I get these from Costco. They taste good and rank well on Yuka, but they aren't super high. They're a 51/100 but they are the highest ranked that I've found - Do you have a healthier brand that you like?
PERDUE® Panko Chicken Nuggets
I'm not a flavored water person, BUT we do something really cool with this stuff! - We make our own ginger ale and use this (and the lemon flavor) to mix the ginger syrup to make healthy ginger ale! I HIGHLY recommend trying it because it's better th...
Polar Beverages
This is another Costco find that's delicious! It rates Excellent on Yuka. We nuke it in the microwave for a few minutes then cut it up and put in our breakfast sandwiches (bagel, egg, cheese, sausage) - just delicious!
