Metabolism Boosting Recipes to Burn Fat Fast
This month’s recipes will provide you with the building blocks you need to lose weight while repairing and maintaining every cell in your body for maximum strength and energy.
Read on below to learn how these delicious and nourishing recipes can help you stay on track with your health goals:
✅ Lean Protein: Chicken, turkey and seafood are all fantastic hunger-satisfying foods among the leanest of animal proteins, providing your body with B vitamins for energy, and helping to stabilize blood sugars while benefiting muscle health.
✅ Plant-based Protein: Free of saturated fat and cholesterol, plant protein can lower your risk of heart disease and help prevent many types of cancer. Plant protein is just as beneficial for muscle mass as animal protein, and will help keep you strong.
✅ Fiber: Not only are these recipes chock-full of protein, but thanks to colorful veggies and nutritious grains – they are also bursting with fiber. Including a combination of protein and fiber at your meals slows digestion, helping you to lose weight and feel full.
These quick and satisfying meals are sure to leave you satisfied, energized and strong!
Here’s some of this month’s recipe highlights:
Teriyaki Turkey stir fry is the perfect balance of sweet and savory. Packed with tender-crisp broccoli and carrots, this meal is brimming with antioxidants and carotenoids- nutrients that are important for maintaining healthy blood pressure and managing blood sugar.
This freezer-friendly dish boasts the anti-inflammatory powers of ginger with the immune-boosting properties of garlic. Ground turkey is a great source of lean protein; perfect for keeping you feeling satisfied and helping you reach your weight loss goals.
Herby Marinated Tofu Kebabs with Mushrooms
Bright vegetables provide us with a mega-dose of antioxidants, fiber and minerals while meaty tofu keeps us feeling satisfied and energized.
If you’ve never marinated mushrooms before you are in for a treat. Mushrooms are one of the few plant-based sources of vitamin D, which is critical for immune function and energy. Not only are they nutritious, but the way they soak up flavor is in a class by itself.
Mediterranean Baked Hummus Pasta with Herbs
The definition of an easy dinner, this baked hummus pasta comes together quickly using a flavorful sauce of roasted tomatoes and hummus. The clever addition of nutritional yeast not only provides a chees-y umami flavor, but a dose of energizing B vitamins to this meal.
Legumes like chickpeas (in hummus) are celebrated for their ability to help lower cholesterol. As a great source of fiber, eating more hummus is an effective and tasty way to take care of your digestive tract. Hummus is also a source of protein, helping with bone, muscle and skin health.
