Here are all of the healthy recipes you need (from my site and other favorite food blogs) for healthy living and weight loss in 2015!
It’s that time again! I’m in serious detox mode from the holidays, though am feeling thankful that we worked in a heck of a lot of healthy meals in November and December to help balance out the heavy foods and sweets (and maybe a glass of wine or seven). Those healthy meals kept me from feeling like Jabba the Hut on a Nutella binge, and kept from falling into the grumpy zone that I enter when I stray from eating well.
Whether you’re looking to turn over a new leaf for 2015, or merely continue the healthy habits that you rocked in 2014, I have a huge list of healthy recipes for you, both from my site, as well as some of my favorite food blogs around the web. I divided the recipes into several categories, so be sure to scroll through to find what you’re looking for. Per usual, all of the recipes on my site include nutritional data and Weight Watchers points, and several of the other sites linked to include that information as well.
Looking through the list, I think we can agree on one thing…healthy eating doesn’t need to mean boring eating!
So, let’s get cooking together!
And announcing…
To help you get motivated about embracing a healthier new year, I am excited to announce that I’ve teamed up with my dear friend Liz of The Lemon Bowl to host the inaugural Healthy New Year 6-Week Challenge! Each week we will be focusing on a different topic to help guide you to a healthier, happier lifestyle.
The first challenge begins on Wednesday, January 7th so be sure to join our Facebook group today to stay up-to-date on news, updates and BIG giveaways you won’t want to miss! Our goal is to create a friendly, safe and fun online community where we will support and encourage one another as we navigate towards a #HealthyNewYear.
