Lighter recipes to balance the long weekend

Published 2 months ago • 1 min read

Hi Reader,

Wishing you a nice Memorial Day weekend!

If you're in the Northeast like me 🙋🏻‍♀️ and looking at a rainy, chilly forecast all weekend, I’m hoping you’re still able to enjoy the long weekend and make the most of it.

Whether you’re headed to a cookout, shopping (I've rounded up all the best deals here), traveling, or spending the weekend curled up on the couch, I wanted to drop this week’s recipes into your inbox so you have a game plan heading into the week.

I intentionally kept this week’s lineup a little lighter and fresher because after a long weekend of cookout food and extra treats, a little balance can go a long way. And if you happen to be craving something lighter this weekend too, these recipes fit perfectly for that.

| BREAKFAST

| LUNCH

| DINNER

| SNACKS + SWEETS

Also, If you're still figuring out what to bring to the cookout this weekend, I rounded up all my favorite Memorial Day recipes in one place. Crowd-pleasing, easy, and actually good for you.

RECIPE FAVORITE THIS WEEK

High-Protein Strawberry Pretzel Salad Bowl

"Wow this was incredible! I made a small portion for an evening treat and it was incredible. I will make a full batch this weekend!" - Lisa

High-Protein Banana Pudding Ice Cream

Banana pudding ice cream, but better for you! ✨ It tastes rich and creamy like the real thing, but leaves me feeling good and on track with my goals.

VIRAL High-Protein Fried Pickle Dip

If you’re a pickle person… this dip is about to become your new fave. 😂🥒 Bring this to your next cookout, game day, or girls night and I promise it’ll be the star of the show. ✨

The Shorts I Keep Wearing

I'm hooked on the CRZ Yoga workout shorts and these new flutter shorts are no exception. They're so so comfy, flattering and affordable! Also, this tank is a staple that I have in multiple colors. It's on sale right now too.

Butter Yellow Set

You know those outfits you throw on once and immediately want in every color? This is one of those. Super soft, easy to move in, and perfect for workouts, errands, travel days, or lounging.
