Five healthy dinner ideas:

Dumplings

Dumplings are a great healthy dinner idea. They can be made with different ingredients, frozen and reheated later. You can find dumpling recipes online or in cookbooks.

Quinoa Salad

Quinoa is a grain with a nutty flavor. It’s high in protein, fiber and iron. Quinoa is gluten free! The best part about quinoa? It’s good for you! Quinoa contains more magnesium than any other grain or seed on Earth!

Quinoa also has many other nutrients including phosphorus, iron and manganese (the minerals we need to keep our bodies healthy). And it’s great for your baby because it contains no gluten—a component of wheat causing negative reactions when consumed by some people who have Celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.

Thai Green Curry

Thai Green Curry is a delicious and healthy meal that will make you feel like you’re in Thailand. It’s made with fresh herbs, vegetables and coconut milk. The curry has a spicy kick to it and can be made vegan by using tofu instead of chicken!

This dish is great for vegetarians because it uses tofu as the protein source in place of meat. You can also add shrimp if you want extra flavor but don’t feel like taking on the extra work yourself at home!

Eat Healthy

Dine on a variety of healthy foods. Choose a variety of vegetables, fruits and whole grains to add to your meals. Add low fat dairy products like yogurt or cheese to your diet as well as fish or poultry with skin removed if you’re concerned about cholesterol levels. Avoid fatty meats such as hamburgers which can be high in calories but also contain saturated fat which is bad for you if eaten too much!
