Healthy Pantry, Healthy Start: 3 Easy Recipes That Taste Great the Next Day, Too (Shopping List Included!)

Last Update: September 28, 2022

When Thrive Market member Melissa cooks up healthy meals in her kitchen, she relies on little tweaks to make the process easier. Take Kimchi Fried Rice, one of her go-to weekly meals. “I always make a double batch,” she says. “I especially like it for breakfast with a fried egg on top and some garlic chili sauce.”

Since she first started changing her eating habits earlier this year, Melissa has gotten creative when it comes to swapping out grains. When a recipe calls for brown or white rice, she uses cauliflower rice instead. Read on for three more favorite recipes, plus all the ingredients you’ll need to make them!

Boiled Eggs With Bacon-Wrapped Asparagus Soldiers

“I always think a fresh salad is a good addition. It’s smart to put more veggies in the pan (like cauliflower or zucchini) when roasting the bacon-wrapped asparagus, so you’ll have some leftovers. It has a yummy saltiness from the bacon and with the salad and egg, it feels like a really well-rounded meal for dinner, and lunch the next day.”
—Melissa

Pick up at the market:
4 large eggs
12 asparagus spears

White Bean and Herb Zucchini Noodles

“I love squash! I eat it with pretty much any sauce and toppings, but especially a meat sauce or red sauce with meatballs—a holdover from the days when pasta was my comfort food. It’s easy to cook a double batch so you have a couple of meals for the same amount of work.”
