Follow some healthy foodies

Woah there is power in pictures isn't there? And it can be so relaxing to just scroll through your instagram or Facebook feed? It’s fun to glance at a photo of a friend having some fun, or catch up on some news about a family member. And sometime we even enjoy a bit of inspiration from a great quote, or uplifting meme. 

Also among the fun things ion our Facebook or instagram feed are gorgeous recipes of yummy treats. And treats are an important part of your dietary choices. You really want to make your sugar day count. So I’m glad you have some yummy recipes to choose from.

But I would like your feed to also include some tempting healthy recipes. So let’s go to work! Here are a few healthy eating blogs you might want to check out. This is their blog site but a simple search will show they all have instagram feeds and Facebook pages.

1. Clean Eating Kitchen

https://www.cleaneatingkitchen.com Clean Eating Kitchen is run by Carrie Forrest! She has a master’s degree in public health with a specialty in nutrition. Most of all, though, she has documented her recovery from PCOS, autoimmune disease, and thyroid cancer through the healthy recipes on her site. Food truly is medicine and so many blessings can come to us by focusing on healthy meals,

She focuses on using real food ingredients and her recipes are gluten-free and dairy-free.

2. 40 Aprons

https://40aprons.com Cheryl at 40 Aprons focuses on healthy and easy. Eating healthy really doesn’t have to be difficult, and she takes the steps to make sure you can replicate her recipes. The site is bright and clean and lets the recipes shine. There is a nice menu where you can sort by your dietary concern or flavor cuisine, which makes it fast to find something to make for dinner tonight.

3.  Detoxinista

https://detoxinista.com Sometimes we just want to revert back to our childhood comfort foods, and there’s nothing wrong with that! Megan takes all the classics and ups their nutrition so it almost feels like you are getting away with something. I love the simplicity of her recipes and her photos are always lovely too.

4. Fit Foodie Finds

https://fitfoodiefinds.com Fit Foodie Finds is delightful because it isn’t just food and recipes. In addition to devouring their delicious dessert recipes, you can also find out the best in workouts, beauty, and travel. Life is for living and they have you covered on every aspect.

5. Love & Lemons

https://www.loveandlemons.com Jeanine’s site is absolutely gorgeous and her photos are stunning. This site focuses on eating in-season produce, which can really help you enjoy the flavors and see what plant-based-eating is all about. Because Jeanine and her husband focus on produce, you get a rainbow of food when you visit and it just makes me smile to look at it.

6. Ambitious Kitchen

https://www.ambitiouskitchen.com Monique shares a lot of her heart in her blog. I love that she can share her struggles and how she learned that it really is best to be who YOU are, and not who anyone else thinks you should be. There is a great balance of healthy recipes alongside delicious desserts for when you just need a comforting treat.

She is also a great resource for moms wanting to find their healthy balance.

7. Real Food RDs

https://therealfooddietitians.com  Many people don’t know that anyone can call themselves a “nutritionist”. There are no legal requirements or training needed to claim the title. On the other hand dietitians have to complete a rigorous 4 year degree and a 1-2 year internship. And the requirements have recently been increased to include a Master’s degree as well. So I love when dietitians (credentialed practitioners concerning food)  share their insights. That education is so important, and is often something that is lacking when we consult with a medical doctor (who at most have one class in med school touching on food) or others that are not fully trained and credentialed in food and health issues.

But health begins from within, and Stacie and Jessica are fans of simple ingredients coming together in flavorful, easy recipes. If you are feeling overwhelmed with a healthy lifestyle, their Meal Prep section can guide you on planning and prepping your week so health is within reach.

8. Clean Eating Couple

https://thecleaneatingcouple.com Liz got fed up with how she was feeling and wanted to switch to a healthy eating lifestyle. She understands how sometimes you can get caught up in buzzwords and complicated recipes. That’s why her blog focuses on using minimal pantry staples to eat healthy and not spend all day in the kitchen.

No one wants to be stuck in the kitchen all day, so this is another blog I recommend wholeheartedly for meal planning and prep when you want to make an easy lifestyle change.

So what is our challenge for the week?

1. If you have a favorite healthy eating blog share it with us through a comment on my blog.
2. Add at least one healthy eating site (it doesn’t have to be on this list) to your instagram or Facebook feed. If you don’t use social media book mark the healthy blog site and look at it occasionally.
3. Choose one recipe from a healthy blog, Facebook site or instagram account and prepare and sample it this week.
