The summer solstice is this week. Point being, who wants to spend the longest day of the year stuck in the kitchen or being weighed down by heavy eats? Healthy and Easy eats to the rescue! Start the day with four-ingredient flourless breakfast brownies, quinoa breakfast recipes, slimming breakfasts or grab-able no-bake oatmeal energy bites. Go “bowling” by assembling kale, mushroom and roasted chickpea rice bowls, zucchini noodles with grilled shrimp in lemon-basil dressing, veggie bowls or pull together one fast pot of zucchini pasta. Come clean through clean eating recipes for fish, stir-fries and even kung pao chicken. Prep meals for the week and make healthy bites to take to the pool -- guaranteed to be a splash with the snacksters!
