  • Lemon Dill Yogurt Dip
    This is my go-to topper whenever something needs an extra touch of flavor and flair. It pairs perfectly with crunchy crudités or you can use it as a topping on roast salmon or egg frittatas. You can easily intensify the flavor by adding more lemon juice and fresh chopped dill. Taste and tweak until it hits the spot!
  • Lemon-Garlic Shrimp
    Here’s a quick and easy meal for one – just add a salad or side of broccoli.
  • Low-Carb Chicken Pizza
    By losing the dough and using thinly pounded chicken as the crust, I put my own low-carb spin on traditional pizza. Pile on sauce, veggies, and cooked turkey sausage for a zesty, low-cal splurge! A perfect pizza alternative for those with type 2 diabetes.
  • Mango Lentil Bisque
    Thanks to the lentils, this vegetarian soup is packed with hunger-squashing protein. The mango provides Vitamin C to help boost your immune system, while the balsamic vinegar adds a tangy flavor that makes this soup extra delicious.
  • Mango Sunrise Smoothie
    Make this refreshing, creamy smoothie year-round: frozen fruit works just as well as fresh. Great as a protein-rich breakfast on-the-run, or a satisfying post-workout meal.
  • Mango-Green Tea Smoothie
    Give yourself a jolt of energy with this refreshing green tea smoothie. The combo of caffeine from the tea plus protein from the yogurt keeps you alert and focused for hours.
  • Maple-Cinnamon Peanut Butter Dip
    Jazz up plain peanut butter with maple syrup and cinnamon to create an extra yummy dip for apple slices or crunchy celery sticks. You can easily scale the recipe up if you’re serving a crowd.
  • Memory-Boosting Berry Smoothie
    Berries get their deep hue from anthocyanins, potent antioxidants that protect your brain cells from aging processes. The flaxseed delivers a healthy dose of omega-3 fats, which help promote good blood flow to your noggin.
  • Minty Grapefruit
    Grapefruits are hydrating, sweet and delicious. Plus, one large grapefruit is just 120 calories and packed with a generous amount of water to help flush out your system. (It contains potassium, too!). For an even more refreshing treat, pop this concoction in the freezer for a couple hours and scrape it up like “ices.”
  • Mug Scrambled Eggs
    I love egg breakfasts for their high-protein fill power, but most people tell me they don’t have time to whip up a fancy omelet on hectic mornings. Problem solved! I’ve created a 2-minute egg recipe that you can make in your microwave. Pair with a piece of fruit or slice of whole-grain toast and you’re all set.
