15 Healthy Dinner Ideas

12. Slow-Cooked Pork Tenderloin

Another good option for a healthy dinner is pork tenderloin. Like pork chops, this cut is often lean and inexpensive compared to red meat options. One of the best ways to cook it is in a slow cooker or Crock Pot. Instead of marinating the meat overnight, simple put the thawed tenderloin into the slow cooker and add your favorite juice and seasonings for flavor. Fresh or concentrated pineapple juice or apple cider are both great choices, and pair well with seasonings like garlic and onions. Slow-cooking allows the meat to keep most of its nutrients, including lots of protein and vitamin B-6. Any fat on the tenderloin will fall off after it cooks for several hours, leaving you with healthy, delicious pork.
