One of the biggest reasons that people fall off of their weight loss journey is because they become tired of their current recipes. Don’t let that happen to you! Check out these great recipes to keep you on track for the summer.

Mediterranean Chicken Medley with Eggplant and Feta

This Mediterranean Medley is a simple low carb and low calorie weekly dinner, I make almost every week. Eggplant is a summer seasonal vegetable, that is high in antibiotics and loaded with Vitamins C, K and B6, which gives it that colorful and flavorful add in. Hope you enjoy!

If you are a banana lover like me, you will love these muffins. Greek yogurt is a great substitute for milks and adding in protein into the recipe. Also, the addition of coconut sugar adds a very distinct flavor to the muffin. These are great guilt-free low calorie snacks to indulge into!
