20 Minute Dinners or Less! 🤸♂️
In each of our meals you’ll learn ways to reduce prep time, streamline techniques, and bulk cook items that freeze well.
Curious to find out how you’ll benefit from cooking at home, and how to get it done in the shortest amount of time? Check out our sneak peak tips from this month’s recipes below!
Homemade meals come with an array of benefits- here are just a few of the best reasons to cook from scratch and how to do so quickly!
✅(1) Knowledge is Power: Knowing exactly what ingredients you are consuming means you can make better choices with what fuel you’re providing your body with. Whole ingredients are free of fillers and additives, while rich in nourishment.
✅(2) Less Sugar: Many processed foods are packed with hidden sugars, by swapping out for whole, fiber-rich ingredients your blood sugars will remain stable, and your risk of diabetes will go down.
✅(3) Drop Inflammation: Processed foods also lead to higher levels of inflammation, cutting them out can reduce blood pressure, bloating, skin reactions, and increase the clarity of your mind.
✅(4) A Little Planning Saves A Lot of Time: Getting your all your prep done at the beginning of the week will go quicker than prepping for each individual meal, so recipes come together in minutes!
✅(5) Limiting Clean Up: By mastering specific quick-cooking techniques you can reduce cook time AND clean up time- so every part of the process is simplified.
As you can see cooking from scratch IS attainable with any lifestyle, and a fantastic tool for meeting your health goals. ❤️🏆
Now let’s find out what you’ll be digging into this month:
Avocado and Tomatillo Seafood Ceviche
No heat needed for this dish whatsoever! Instead, we’ll be cooking our seafood with citrus, which de-natures the protein, making it both delicious and easily digestible. The citrus juices in our ceviche not only take care of the cooking, they also add vitamin C and antioxidants to protect from illness and disease.
Seafood is the perfect, ready-made ingredient that you can even enjoy raw! Low in saturated fats and high in protein, eating more fish can help with weight loss and support for tissues. 💪
Spinach and Parmesan Portobellos
Portobellos are the perfect plant-based protein, they not only cook through quickly, they make for great leftovers that you can eat the next day, or freeze for later.
High in cancer-fighting compounds, mushrooms are also a great vehicle for stuffing with other vegetables and goodies you’ve got in the fridge. The more greens and colors you can add, the more those antioxidant levels rise, further increasing the health and efficiency of this dish!

With these homemade burgers, we’re greatly reducing the amount of cholesterol and saturated fats by using turkey vs beef, and because we’re seasoning them ourselves- you can manage exactly how much salt is used. Turkey is also a great source of vitamin B6, a very useful compound when trying to optimize metabolism.
The creamy yogurt sauce we use to replace those fast food “secret sauces” is incredibly low in sugar, and high in good bacteria- which will help lead to better heart and weight management! ❣️
