Healthy food is a must for me. I am a HEALTH FREAK and proud of it. I have had a few friends ask me how I do it. The most common excuse for not being healthy is "The food is so boring and tasteless". All I have to say is WRONG!
Motivations for healthy eating include, losing weight and feeling better all around. What if I told you certain foods would make your skin look amazing or make your hair thicker and longer. This one is for all my fellow FASHIONISTAS.
This is Cilantro Lime Jalapeno Chicken Salad in an Avacado. Recipe Here
The Oils in Avacados have been proven to thicken and add shine to your hair.
Myth: Avacados are fattening in the worst way
Fact: The fats they contain are GOOD fats that your body requires.
This is a Sweet Potatoe stuffed with Vegetables and Chicken. Recipe Here
The nutrients in sweet potatoes have been proven to make your skin softer and healthier.
Myth: Sweet potatoes have tons of sugar and are horrible for your body
Fact: Sweet potatoes are better for you than baked potatoes. They have nutrients and less dense carbs.
This is an Autumn chopped salad with pears, cranberries, feta cheese, pecans and bacon. Recipe Here
Salads aren't always the "low fat" alternative because of the fattening dressings we use. This salad is so full of flavor from its healthy ingredients that the only dressing it needs is a light olive oil and herbs and little S&P.
Myth: Salads are always the healthy low fat alternative to a meal
Fact: Salads can be worse for you than a burger or fries due to creamy fattening dressings we coat them in.
