Happy New Year! 2019 was such a whirlwind, it’s crazy to think a new year (a new decade!) is here already.
A new year can bring an element of exhilaration – so much intoxicating energy and motivation in the air with messages about resolutions, intentions, goals, and second chances at every turn. And chances are if you’re reading my blog, you’re interested in health and nutrition on some level. đŸ˜‰ So I wanted to share some of my favorite healthy recipes on the blog!
But first – healthy can be such an ambiguous term in this day and age. What does healthy even look like?
If you’re trying to adopt a healthier lifestyle with some health resolutions and goals, it’s so easy to feel utterly overwhelmed and confused as to what is best. Is it keto? Whole30? Paleo? Plant-based? Vegan? Intermittent fasting?
Truthfully, different things can work for different folks, so ultimately – you do you! But overall I’m a big advocate of simplicity, which for many (myself included!) means ditching the overwhelm of sudden, big, dramatic lifestyle changes in favor of smaller swaps and changes that build on one another. (And truth be told, smaller changes overtime often lead to far more lasting and sustainable results.)
So when I’m talking about healthy recipes, I’m talking about recipes that provide a variety of nutrients, often contain fiber, protein, fruits, and/ or vegetables, and always taste good!
I’ll be sharing a lot more healthy recipes in January (and this whole year, of course!) but here are some of my favorite healthy recipes to kick off 2020!
