Clean Eating Recipes + Guides
>> Tuesday, January 6, 2015
If you’re starting out with healthier eating this year, you’re not alone. Even if you’re an old veteran to eating clean, now is the time to recommit your efforts. (I’m speaking to myself here.) I have collected some of our healthiest recipes and food guides on the site to serve as a resource. So pin or bookmark this page now for easy reference.
Over the years I’ve tried different “detoxes” (I know, but who hasn’t?), and -- surprise -- nothing has ever landed as a long-term fix. Instead, I like focusing on adding in the nutrients versus taking foods away. I focus on all those fresh foods I’m lacking and push out the sugar and excess carbs by feasting on more fruits, vegetables, and proteins in the process.
The key is making food convenient through meal planning, prepping ahead, and making it all delicious. I find freezer cooking particularly helpful this time of year, but you need to find what works for you and your lifestyle. And remember: If you have a “bad” eating day, don’t fret. Just start fresh with your next mouthful.
