Eating a healthful diet that enhances metabolism, lean muscle, and the immune system doesn’t need to be a hassle. In fact, it can be surprisingly easy to find entrée recipes that don’t take much time to prepare. For example, healthy slow cooker meals (like the Roadhouse Chili recipe below) prep in a snap and deliver a warm, ready-to-eat meal when you get home.

Planning for easy entree recipes is one of the top ways you can help yourself and your family get healthier. Menu plans take the stress out of serving nutritious meals because the ingredients will be ready to go when you are. Planning also takes away the temptation to cave to unhealthy—and expensive—takeout dinners. Use our FREE Clean Eating Menu Planner to get started.
