Recent Eats: Clean Eating

September 23, 2014

As I’ve been doing every couple of months, I’m posting another compilation of clean eating meals we have had lately.  The descriptions are under each picture.  Some things have recipes, or links to the recipes.  Clean eating CAN be simple and delicious, and makes you feel much healthier and energetic.  Eating this way also keeps your weight and blood sugar under control, as well as boosts your immunity.  I hope these ideas are helpful for you! white bean and edamame salad with bacon; honey lemon grilled chicken; arugula salad
