Light Lunches, Meal Prep & Healthy Sweets

Marcus Washington, meal prep and lighter dishes – protein-rich lunches, simple dinners and fruit-sweetened treats.

Profile:

Marcus Washington's recipes center on food that is built to be packed, portioned and reheated without losing its appeal. Look for lunch bowls and salads such as a chicken burrito bowl, a kale salad with cranberry and walnut, or a mason jar salad layered with chickpeas and feta, along with weeknight dinners like beef and broccoli, turkey chili and quinoa with roasted vegetables.

His dessert recipes follow the same lighter approach. Stuffed dates with peanut butter or seed butter, nut butter date bites and cottage cheese cookie dough come together in 5 to 20 minutes and rely mostly on whole ingredients for sweetness.

Each recipe lists its servings, timing and a clear order of steps, so you can scale a batch for the week ahead or cook just enough for tonight. Browse his latest recipes below to plan a few lunches, add a quick treat to the rotation, or find a protein-forward dinner for the evening.
