Cashew Alfredo

You won’t believe that this recipe uses only seven ingredients, comes together in 30 minutes, and is vegan. Instead of a cream-based alfredo sauce, this plant-based one uses cashews, almond milk, and nutritional yeast for the creaminess. After you’ve made the sauce, you can enjoy it with pasta, zoodles, or as a white sauce on pizza.

Noodle-Free Pad Thai

This modified version of Pad Thai skips the noodles by using carrots, collard greens, bell peppers, and cabbage as noodles and the sauce includes almond butter, lime juice, coconut aminos, maple syrup, and chili flakes.

Butternut Squash Veggie Pizza

Instead of a typical tomato sauce and cheese pizza, Minimalist Baker creates one with a butternut squash sauce and tops it with broccolini, red onion, chickpeas, and vegan Parmesan cheese. You won’t miss delivery pizza after trying this veggie-loaded one.

Scrambled Eggs

You can make tasty scrambled eggs in the microwave in three minutes. Whisk two eggs in a mug and add milk if you want it fluffier. Beat them together, put them in the microwave on high heat for two minutes, and stir every 30 seconds. Once piping hot, add salt and pepper, and there you are! Delicious scrambled eggs in minutes.

Chili

Put seasoned ground beef, bell peppers, canned beans, and tomatoes into a microwavable bowl. Cover with a ventilated plastic cover and microwave on high heat for 5 minutes. Once steamed, mix in some chili powder, green onions, cumin, tomato paste, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Cover, heat for a further 4 minutes and serve.

Poached Salmon

Arrange thin lemon slices in an 8″ by 8″ glass baking dish. Lay the salmon fillets on top, sprinkle with salt and add water. Once the tray is covered with a ventilated plastic wrap, heat on high power for 8 minutes. When the salmon turns pink and opaque, you can drain and serve.

However, you can do so much in just 20 minutes, so you can get yourself a healthy plate of food that’s also quite scrumptious.

Combine Homemade and Store-Bought

Ideally, everything we eat should be homemade, because it’s normally healthier, and usually saves us money. However, the most realistic option combines both worlds.

If you’re making pasta, try to make your own pesto, so you can add in lots of veggies and greens. If you’re making a soup, throw in scraps into a pot first and make your own quick broth and then add in canned or frozen items to it.

Prepare Beforehand

The best way to avoid unhealthy meals is by prepping some key items at the beginning of the week that you can re-purpose for many meals. Roast a whole chicken or boil some beans that can be used in multiple dishes.

Quick Cooking Items

Knowing how long ingredients take to cook is so key to 20-minute dinners. For example, a salmon can be roasted completely in about 12-15 minutes, so it’s a great option for dinner. Canned beans are already cooked so they only need a few minutes to reheat.
