Cook These Dishes On Sunday, Eat Healthier Throughout The Week

Healthy eating is a skill that not all of us have mastered. If it's not your forte, allow us to let you in on a little secret: it's all about the meal planning. Dedicating a little time to stocking your fridge with healthy foods that you like to eat makes it a no-brainer next time you need to make a smart choice when you're hungry.

As part of our month-long Eat Well, Feel Great challenge, we dare you to give this healthy meal planning a try. We've already done some of the work for you.

We've found five healthy and versatile recipes for you to prep on Sunday, that'll keep in the fridge for a while so you can grab them for quick dinners, packed lunches and on-the-go breakfasts. Oh, and we also made you a grocery list of all the ingredients you'll need to make these awesome recipes. (You can find that below.) Folks, you are welcome.

Super Chunky Coconut Granola

Minimalist Baker

Make a batch of this granola on Sunday and enjoy it all week long. It'll last for a long time and can be eaten in so many different ways. In a bowl with milk, topped on yogurt or just plain -- it's that good.

Thai Quinoa Salad

Foodie Crush

Quinoa and lots of veggies make up this healthy salad. The quinoa and edamame ensure you'll get enough protein, too.

Spicy Red Pasta With Lentils

Minimalist Baker

Great for both dinner and lunch. And the good news is the protein in this dish comes from lentils, so it'll stay good in the fridge longer than a classic meat pasta recipe would.

Shrimp In Thai Coconut Sauce

Foodie Crush

What we love about this dish is that it feels decadent thanks to the creamy coconut sauce, but with the use of light coconut milk it's one indulgence you can actually feel good about.

Mediterranean Lentil Dip

Minimalist Baker

This stuff is addictive. Luckily, it's good for you too. A nice break from our beloved hummus, use this dip for snacking with whole-grain crackers, to top an open-faced sandwich or to bulk up a salad.
