5 Clean-Eating Meals to Get You Through the Work Week

Monday: Begin With A Fresh Start
You powered through a weekend full of bottomless mimosas and late-night pizza. No worries, though. With a new week comes a blank slate. Start on the right foot with a light yet hearty Thai bowl complete with beef, rice noodles and plenty of greens. The best part: It’s ready in just 30 minutes.
Tuesday: Keep It Classic With Tacos
If every day were Taco Tuesday, you wouldn’t hear us complaining. However, since they tend to leave us in a bit of a food coma, we’re into these healthy (albeit delicious) steak tacos with cucumber salsa. Let us rephrase: Juicy flank steak topped with crunchy cucumbers marinated with garlic, jalapeño, cilantro and more. Opt for flourless tortillas for an extra virtue.
Wednesday: Tackle Hump Day With One Pot
Between last-minute errands, going to the gym and catching up on The Handmaid’s Tale, weeknights can be draining. For this reason, stick with an easy one-pot steak and vegetable stir-fry that’s ready for the table in 35 minutes. Dirty pot, party of one.
Thursday: Count On The Tried-and-true
There’s nothing worse than thinking it’s Friday only to realize it’s still Thursday. Considering this happens to us more often than not, we like to fall back on a classic dinner we know will be a hit (helps to cure the disappointment). These classic stuffed peppers are an easy way to eat your veggies, and the spicy flavor won’t let you down.
Friday: Create Your Own Restaurant-worthy Dish
If you and your partner reserve Friday nights for a dinner date, consider rethinking the whole “going out” dance. Instead, try this one-pan skillet steak with asparagus and potatoes (topped with an herb sauce) for the most private “restaurant” experience money doesn’t have to buy.
