We all love a good no-cook recipe, and we ESPECIALLY love one full of pickle flavor! Perfectly balanced with a creamy base and fresh herbs, we’re ready to crack open a can (or pouch) of tuna and mix some up right now. Enjoy it over greens, with cut veggies, with high-fiber crackers, or straight from the bowl.

To us, “casserole” is basically code for “maximum deliciousness that feeds the whole family for minimal effort.” This comfort-food recipe is packed with lean protein and nutritious beans for the filling one-two punch of protein and fiber… and it tastes like nachos! Pair it with your favorite veggie side dish, and dinner’s served.

Frozen yogurt bark was a buzzy trend that we fell for hard. With this twist, we leaned into the flavor of a classic & decadent dessert. The cheesecake-inspired base freezes up perfectly! Sure, it’s a little messy to eat with your hands, but live a little now and wash your hands later.

Pork chops feel like kind of an old-school entrée, but cooking ’em in the air fryer gives them a more modern twist! Pssst, the honey mustard here delivers bigtime flavor. Only three main ingredients needed, plus some tasty seasonings!



Chocolate Coconut Caramel Cup

Not only was this one of the most popular HG recipes on social media this year, but this video was our #3 most popular video of the year too! Top sweet zero-sugar Greek yogurt with melted chocolate, caramel, and coconut for a dessert that tastes like Samoas Girl Scout Cookies (aka Caramel deLites). Now THAT is a treat.

When we discover a healthy lunch that’s fast & easy to throw together and tastes amazing, it becomes a recipe we make on repeat. This 10-minute meal is loaded with fresh flavors, crunchy veggies, and nutritious ingredients to keep you full for a good long time. Over 35 grams of protein—WOW!

1/2 of recipe (about 3 cups): 390 calories, 10g total fat (2.5g sat. fat), 898mg sodium, 47g carbs, 5.5g fiber, 10g sugars, 29g protein
