The one thing that makes the summer months more manageable when it comes to your diet plan is the fact that we naturally eat lighter dishes when it’s warmer outside. Typically, we go from eating hearty soups and carb-packed meals in the winter to dishes that contain light and fluffy fish and chicken paired with veggies that will fill us up while keeping out waistlines thin and trim in the summer.
Here are some recipes that are packed with protein and much-needed vitamins and ideal for the summer months. And the best part is that you can prepare them in advance and have them ready to go when dinner time approaches.
