This standout soup is the ultimate snack, starter, or side dish... So insanely filling! Five kinds of veggies + plenty of seasonings + flavorful chicken broth = perfection. (Feel free to use veggie broth for a vegetarian-friendly spin.) Don't own a veggie spiralizer? Just use a basic peeler.

One of the amazing things about
shredded-chicken dishes like this -- aside from low calorie counts -- is the versatility. Scoop some into a whole-wheat pita, wrap it up in lettuce leaves, top off a salad, make an open-faced chicken melt with light bread... The possibilities are endless! And, of course, it's great all on its own.

The tomatillos (courtesy of easy-to-find salsa verde) and chiles aren't the only green foods boosting the hue of
this flavorful pork chili. The slow-simmered dish has pureed kale cooked in, but you'd
never know from the taste of it. One bite and you'll be hooked. And check out all the fiber and protein... Wow!

Not only is
this dish an easy-to-cook creation you can make in a Crock-Pot, but it also has only five main ingredients. You might even have two in your pantry already -- balsamic vinegar and canned stewed tomatoes are staples at Hungryland. Just pick up some chicken, green beans, and spinach. Too simple!

Fresh cranberries can be hard to find after the holidays, but there's no reason not to enjoy this dried fruit all year long. Especially since it's soooo good cooked up in
this sweet-n-savory pork dish -- amazingly delicious, and only five main ingredients.

Fun fact: Butternut squash tastes
amazing in mac 'n cheese. Something about the sweet squashy flavor melds perfectly with a creamy cheese sauce. And since we use high-fiber pasta boosted with cauliflower, you're not just chowing on empty carbs. That's what we call balance!
This recipe will become a new favorite.

Let's wrap it up with dessert, shall we?
This slow-cooker dish is essentially gooey peach pie filling. And unlike the fruit pie itself, it's low in calories and no hassle to whip up. The person who coined the term "win-win" would probably agree that this dessert is the perfect definition.
