This recipe roundup features easy-to-make, healthy grilling recipes that are perfect for summer. I’ve also included recommendations for where to buy high-quality, organic meat and seafood, with special savings that are exclusive to EEE readers!
The outdoor grill is one of the best tools for making summer dinners. It is super simple to use and cooks full meals in a flash. Grilling food also has a great nutritional advantage, because excess fat melts and drips off of meat as you grill it.
Use these delicious, healthy grilling recipes as inspiration for your meals all summer long. If you want to make any of these recipes in the absence of warm weather, just use a grill pan in your kitchen instead!

Where to Get Healthy Meat
I am a big believer in using grass-fed, no-hormones-added and ethically-raised meat instead of conventional, factory-farmed meat. It’s more humane, sustainable and it’s higher in quality – which means its healthier to consume and also tastes better.
However, it can be difficult to find organic, grass-fed meat, so allow me to introduce you to ButcherBox!
ButcherBox is a popular monthly meat delivery service that delivers high quality, antibiotic- and hormone-free cuts directly to your door. Their meat selection includes 100% grass-fed and grass-finished beef, free-range chicken and heritage breed pork.
The meat arrives frozen and individually vacuum-packed in an insulated, eco-friendly box. Lastly, the price works out to less than $6 per meal and the shipping is always free!
To see how ButcherBox actually arrives to your house, check out this 1-minute video:
If you are having a hard time finding healthy, tasty meat near you – or if you want to avoid shopping and traffic AND get top-quality meat delivered right to your door while you’re at it – then you have to try ButcherBox.
Where to Get Healthy Seafood
If you prefer seafood delivery, my favorite source is is Vital Choice. Vital Choice is an online retailer that sells wild-caught, sustainably-harvested seafood. All of the seafood sold there is certified sustainable either by MSC, the State of Alaska or Monterey Bay Aquarium’s SeafoodWatch program.
