3. Double-apple tart

It’s hard not to love apple pie, but most of us aren’t skilled bakers or have the time for recipes made from scratch. Luckily, there’s a happy medium: we use a pre-made crust for this double-apple tart. The healthy filling doesn't need to pre-cook, so you can have the luxury of freshly baked pie without spending hours in the kitchen. The best part? A slice of pie is under 200 calories, as we use applesauce to sweeten the filling instead of refined sugar. With five stars, users agree this recipe rocks!

4. Chocolate ginger granola bars

Finding a healthy breakfast you can eat on the run is always a challenge, so these spiced chocolate granola bars are a big hit. A mix of oats, nuts, seeds, and sunflower seed butter pack these bars with protein and plant-based fats that keep you full until lunch time. One batch makes enough for the whole week, and they are great as an afternoon snack, too.

5. Eggs benedict bake with homemade hollandaise

Here’s another low carb and keto-friendly recipe our users love. Eggs benedict can be found on diner menus and fancy restaurants, but making it at home can be challenging, especially if you’re cooking for a crowd. Not with this eggs benedict bake: feed yourself and five friends or family members with minimal stress, and bring your brunch to the next level.

6. Seeded broccoli salad

This deli classic is crunchy, salty, a little sweet, and totally delicious. Store-bought versions can be laden with mayonnaise and sugar, but our seeded broccoli salad is packed with nutrient-dense seeds instead. A little crispy bacon adds the perfect salty finish for this portable lunch. We automatically substitute key ingredients like bacon to fit specific dietary preferences, so this recipe is widely available on our meal plans.

7. Asian glazed chicken thighs with bok choy

A quick marinade makes these Asian glazed chicken thighs tender and flavorful, and pan frying gives them a nice crispy crust. Add some stir-fried bok choy and top with green onion and sesame seeds for a one-pan meal that’s better than takeout.

8. Teriyaki chicken stir-fry with broccoli

9. Breakfast balance bowls with chicken, squash & greens

It may not look like your typical breakfast, but this breakfast balance bowl provides all the nutrients you need. Starting your day with a high-protein and low carb meal can keep sugar cravings at bay and keep you full until lunch time, so you don’t reach for that breakroom donut or bowl of sugary cereal. The main ingredients can be prepped ahead so you don’t even have to think about what to eat in the morning, or spend more than 10 minutes getting it ready.

10. Tiramisu mousse

This all-star list deserves to end on a sweet note: decadent tiramisu mousse is deceptively easy, with a cheesecake-like texture and flavor from the cream cheese and mascarpone base. Espresso powder and a dusting of cocoa balance this dessert perfectly, making it a truly memorable finish to any meal.
