If you think eating healthy means spending hours in the kitchen, this episode is going to change everything.

Registered dietitian and mom of 3, Brooke Miller is busting the biggest myth in nutrition: that healthy meals have to be complicated, expensive, or time-consuming. In this episode, she shares her go-to high-protein meals that have 8 ingredients or less, take under 10 minutes of actual effort, and leave you with barely any dishes.

In this episode you'll learn:

• The simple 4-part formula for every balanced, satisfying meal
• Why decision fatigue, not laziness, is the real reason dinner feels so hard
• How crockpot and sheet pan meals can save your weeknights
• Why frozen vegetables are just as nutritious (and so much faster)
• 3 actual go-to meals Brooke makes on her hardest, most chaotic mom days

Eating well doesn't require a Pinterest-worthy kitchen or a culinary degree. It just has to be simple enough that you'll actually do it, even on the hard days.
