We have all tried healthy eating but most of us tend to fall off the healthy bandwagon only after a few days of cutting out sugar and living on a diet of kale and quinoa. But healthy eating doesn’t have to mean cutting out fats altogether and living on a measly portion of raw carrots for 7 days a week. In fact, it is better for us to eat a healthier version of our usual diet by supplementing the processed and unhealthy foods with healthier and raw alternatives because this way we are much more likely to stick to our newfound healthy eating. That’s why you should check out some Kayla Itsines recipes.
She is a personal trainer and healthy eating advocate who has been all over our Facebook and Instagram feeds recently. She creates delicious, quick and easy recipes which are super good for you and require minimal effort, so is a great person to turn to if you are looking for some healthy recipe ideas! To give you a kick start, we have written a list of our top ten Kayla Itsines recipes to keep your healthy eating on track this summer.
The salmon, beans and eggs in this bruschetta recipe are full of protein and healthy fats, meaning that it is a great meal to start off the day and leave you feeling satisfied for longer. It is also super quick and easy to make at home, as well as being delicious, so this is a great go-to breakfast recipe if you are trying to eat healthier this summer. This is one of the best Kayla Itsines recipes.
Another great healthy breakfast option is this avocado, feta and pomegranate on toast. This recipe uses wholemeal or rye bread and low-fat reduced-salt feta cheese, which makes it both healthy and delicious. It is also so quick and easy to make and is perfect if you need something speedy in the mornings.
Who said salads have to be boring? This delicious summer salad recipe by Kayla is easy to make and oh so fresh! With a delicious lemon chia dressing and bursting with colour, this delightful summer salad is a great staple lunch that will leave you feeling glowing from the inside-out.
If you are looking for a more substantial healthy summer lunch recipe, look no further than Kayla’s super green rice salad. Made with brown rice and delicious greens, this guilt-free lunch recipe is guaranteed to leave you feeling full until dinner time.
If you love Asian food, you should definitely try this healthy laska with chicken meatballs. The chicken makes the meal high in protein and the many veggies packed into the dish mean that it is super high in nutrients. It is a bit longer to cook than the other recipes in this list but trust me, when you’re done, it will definitely be worth your while!
Another delicious Asian infused meal by Kayla is this chicken pad Thai. It is delicious, flavour-filled and a much healthier alternative to that Thai takeaway place down the road (plus will be a lot more bank account friendly!). So if you are looking for a tasty but healthy dinner recipe, try out this scrumptious pad Thai.
I bet you thought healthy eating would mean that you haveto have a few grapes as a ‘treat’ after dinner. Well, think again! Desserts don’t always have to be pumped full of sugar, additives and chemicals. This delicious lime and coconut cheesecake is made with silken tofu instead of cream cheese which makes it irresistibly creamy, completely vegan and won’t cause your cholesterol levels to fly through the roof.
Another great healthy treat are Kayla’s healthy brownies with raspberries. These brownies use wholemeal flower, cocoa powder and sweet potato which transform them from being an unhealthy treat full of processed sugar to a guilt-free dessert that everyone will love.
Banana bread is a really popular morning snack or treat, but traditional banana bread is pumped with refined sugars making it quite an unhealthy cake. If you are a huge banana bread fan, Kayla’s healthy banana bread is a great-tasting and super healthy alternative as it is made with wholemeal flower, low-fat yoghurt and absolutely no refined sugar.
Not many people would think of chickpeas as being a ‘snack’, but these spicy baked chickpeas are perfect for a midday pick-me-up as they will fill you up and are very protein-rich, making them a great pre or post-workout snack. They are also full of flavour and really easy to make as you just need to combine all the ingredients in a bowl and stick the chickpeas in the oven. One of the most delicious Kayla Itsines recipes!
