Healthy Easy To Make Recipes - Low Calorie Recipes | LaaLoosh (2024)

Healthy Chinese fast food recipes are always popular in my house. The kids love them, the husband loves them, and I love them. So, I’m often experimenting with making lighter and healthier versions of our restaurant favorites.

This Orange Beef recipe is a great one to try! The sauce is rich, fresh, and flavorful, yet still very light. If I’m making it for just me and my husband, I’ll add in some crushed red pepper flakes to give it a spicy kick.

It also works nicely with some bell pepper strips and or zucchini chunks – which is a great way to bulk it up some more, too.

Served over fresh steamed brown rice, this is one seriously satisfying meal.

With the last few days of summer to savor, I’m sharing a reliable and delicious side salad recipe that I have made quite a bit this summer, as my whole family loves it.

My Whole Wheat Couscous Feta Salad Recipe is super easy to make and is a delicious and satisfying side dish that works with so many different meals. The bright, juicy tomatoes, crunchy cucumbers, and salty feta are combined with hearty garbanzo beans and whole wheat couscous to deliver a seriously satisfying dish!

It also works wonderfully as leftovers, so I often double the batch and use it in lunches the next day or two.

So take advantage of those delicious summer tomatoes and get this salad on your table, ASAP! At just 4 Points per serving, it’s a great way to feel satisfied while staying on track.

To anyone who lives a vegan lifestyle – you’re in for a treat today! I came across a recipe for a vegan bacon recipe at Veganosity and was super excited to give it a try. The recipe uses portobello mushroom marinated in maple syrup and liquid smoke, giving it an absolutely delicious bacony flavor, sans the meat. As soon as I picked up some portobellos, I got to work putting this recipe to task.

A few tweaks and it was surprisingly easy to do, with an end result that was ridiculously delicious. The “bacon” was definitely a bit softer than regular bacon and it doesn’t have that crunch. But the flavor was fantastic.

Put that together with the traditional BLT sandwich ingredients, and you’ve got a BLT that is not only tasty and vegan but also very Weight Watchers friendly at just 5 Points per sandwich.

One of my all time favorite Weight Watchers quinoa recipes is this super easy Quinoa Salad with Tahini Dressing — it’s to die for!

Admittedly, I’m pleasantly surprised my kids really enjoyed this dish…my son even took leftovers for lunch! And it’s a really satisfying summer side dish that is lovely and absolutely delicious.

Get a taste of the South with this sassy looking BBQ Peach Bourbon Chicken Recipe, submitted by Vicky Stroup!

Grilled or smoked chicken breast and peaches, drizzled with good old fashioned bourbon – this dish is sure to delight. This dish keeps it super light.

Thanks, Vicky, for sharing this gem with us!

Another super easy recipe I want to share today that not only tastes incredible but requires such little effort. This Spanish Chicken and Potato Roast Recipe is all done in one pot (yay for easy clean-up!).

The ingredients are combined in a large baking dish and then slowly roasted in the oven, delivering one heck of a tasty dinner. The potatoes soak up the juices released by the chicken which makes them heavenly moist and tender. And the simple seasonings are all it takes for a fantastic flavor.

This hearty, satisfying Spanish Chicken and Potato Roast Recipe will definitely leave you feeling satisfied! Serve with a light salad or steamed veggies for a complete meal.

When I need something to snack on, I try to reach for fresh, raw vegetables. Mainly because they are incredibly good for me, but also because their high fiber content can fill me up and prevent me from getting down and dirty with a not so Weight Watchers friendly food.

So when you eat fresh veggies as much as I do, you are constantly on the lookout for delicious, exciting, and low calorie dips to dunk them in. And this Red Pepper and Eggplant Dip Recipe has become one of my favorites!

With school getting ready to start back up soon, I know I need to be prepared for those hectic mornings where getting the family fed becomes an on-the-go task.

When I have spare time, I love making wholesome, baked breads or muffins to have on hand for those days when cooking breakfast just isn’t going to happen.

Stuffed peppers were always a staple in my house, growing up. My mom usually made them once every other week, and I can still remember the taste of that delicious beef and rice filling!

My healthier version consists of a quinoa and ground chicken filling. It’s mixed with a tangy tomato sauce, seasoned with Italian herbs and topped with a bit of mozzarella cheese. It’s delicious, filling! And I have to say, it is SOOOOO good. Even better than the one my mom makes — but please don’t tell her that. :)

When I’m pressed for time during the week, this Chicken and Spinach Sauté Recipe is a lifesaver. It requires minimal prep and cook time, yet tastes incredibly delicious and is quite healthy.

My kids love it too, which is a huge plus. I simply get the chicken into the marinade before I leave to go pick up my kids from school, then come and home and toss it in the skillet for dinner. Easy peasy. The only problem is that it’s so good, there are never any leftovers!

Simple, delicious, and satisfying, this Weight Watchers Chicken Recipe is a must-try.

For those of us trying to eat low carb, these Thai Chicken Lettuce Cups are a perfect carb-free recipe that is super easy and quick to make, but also tastes absolutely amazing. Ground chicken breast is sautéed with wonderful Thai spices and are then served atop fresh, chilled lettuce leaves.

I used romaine leaves with this, so it’s more like Thai Chicken Lettuce Boats, but butter lettuce and iceberg lettuce also work really well if you want more of a “cup-like” form. Each 2 lettuce boat/cup serving is just 5 Points. One word of caution…these Thai Chicken Lettuce Cups are incredibly addictive, and you may fid yourself craving that at 1am while watching Netflix…just sayin’.

Summer is in full swing, and I’m all about healthy and delicious Weight Watchers Grilling Recipe that are quick and easy! This Roasted Garlic Cilantro Shrimp Recipe is just the ticket – it’s so fresh and light, yet absolutely bursting with flavor. The roasting of the garlic adds such a wonderful, slightly sweet taste to the sauce, so make sure to NOT skip that step! It’s a bit of extra work, but totally worth it.

I also like to take the extra sauce and serve it on the side for dipping, or spoon it over some fresh Italian bread, then place face down on the grill – so incredibly good. For this recipe, I used my cast iron grill pan, but a regular outdoor grill works just as well. Enjoy!
