Recipes:
BERRY SPINACH SMOOTHIE
Smoothies don't need to have a bunch of ingredients to be healthy. Keep it simple and you may be more likely to incorporate them as a consistent part of your diet.
My basics:
1-2 cups mixed berries (frozen is easiest and as nutritious as fresh)
1-2 cups spinach (this is a great way to sneak an extra serving of veggies into your day. You won't even taste it!)
1 banana
1 cup greek yogurt
Add water, milk, or a milk substitute until desired consistency

This sheet pan meal is one of my favorite summer go-to's. It's quick, easy, and doesn't require much prep or clean up!
