It’s January, which means that it is time to start eating healthy! I added an exclamation point even though I am not particularly excited about this. I prefer to eat macaroni and cheese instead of salad bowls, but I do think that it is important to reset my eating habits at the start of each year. In that spirit, I have created a list of my favorite healthy recipes for you.
I have a major weakness for pasta, and when I am cutting carbs I replace pasta with spiralized zucchini. This recipe for Zoodles alla Rustica comes together in just 20 minutes.
Zoodles with a Creamy Avocado Sauce are a much healthier alternative to pasta with alfredo sauce.
These Beef and Mushroom Lettuce Wraps are low in carbs and big on flavor, plus you can customize the recipe by adding your favorite vegetables.
If you want the most delicious side dish, make this Sriracha Parmesan Roasted Broccoli, it takes just a couple of minutes to prepare, and it’s so amazing that sometimes I make a huge bowl for lunch. This recipe has garlic, lemon, Parmesan, and a touch of sriracha to add some spice.
How about a recipe for Sesame Chicken that can be made in 20 minutes? This recipe is one of my favorite weeknight meals.
Need a snack? Mango, Avocado, Jalapeno, and Yogurt Dip sounds unusual, but it is incredibly good. It’s sweet and spicy and thanks to the Greek Yogurt it has protein too!
Cooking Scrambled Eggs low and slow makes them extra creamy, it’s a protein packed breakfast that I look forward to eating.
Cucumber Lime Gin and Tonics are a low-calorie cocktail that tastes fantastic and they can easily be made in large batches for a party.
Are you focused on healthy eating this month? Do you have any healthy recipes that you love? Feel free to share them in the comments.
