February is Heart Month, and there’s no better time to show your heart (and your tastebuds) some love. Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the U.S.—but here’s the good news: small, sustainable changes in your diet and lifestyle can make a major difference. And no, that doesn’t mean you have to give up flavor or feel like you’re on a “diet.”
This month, I’m featuring four delicious, heart-healthy recipes that are high in nutrients, full of flavor, and created to support a strong, healthy heart—without any of the deprivation.
💚 These recipes are:
- High in fiber and lean protein
- Low in saturated fat
- Packed with antioxidants, healthy fats, and heart-loving ingredients
- Balanced to help stabilize blood sugar and support energy
- Perfect for meal prep or busy weeknights
Let’s take a look at what’s on the heart-smart menu this month:
🍝 Chicken & Mushroom Lentil Pasta
Lean chicken breast, sautéed mushrooms, and protein-packed lentil pasta come together in this comforting, fiber-rich dish. It’s a great alternative to traditional pasta and a sneaky way to get in extra veggies, and plant-based protein.
🥦 Baked Skinless Chicken Thighs with Broccoli Salad
This one’s a weeknight win: crispy-on-the-outside, juicy-on-the-inside chicken thighs (without the skin) paired with a crunchy broccoli salad tossed in a light vinaigrette. Simple, satisfying, and heart-friendly.
🍛 Curry Chicken & Vegetables with Basmati Rice
Spice things up with this anti-inflammatory powerhouse. Curry spices, colorful vegetables, and tender chicken over fluffy basmati rice make this recipe a flavorful way to sneak in more fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants.
🥢 Sesame Tofu Stir Fry
This vegan-friendly stir fry is loaded with colorful veggies, crispy tofu, and a sesame-ginger sauce that hits all the right notes. A great meatless option that doesn’t skimp on protein or taste.
