There are two things that make healthy eating a challenge for a lot of people. First is finding the time to cook, and then it’s finding healthy recipes that taste good and are easy to make.
Also, if you don't feel comfortable in the kitchen, it can feel like a lot to take on; cooking can be intimidating! But allowing this to be an excuse (and only cooking the same two recipes that you've mastered) can become an obstacle that gets in the way of your health goals.
Results come with stepping out of your comfort zone and trying new things, and that includes cooking!
Its important because if you're not eating home-cooked meals, it means you’re resorting to eating lots of pre-packaged meals and ordering-in or dining out. And that means you're consuming lots of unhealthy oils and sodium - because all packaged meals and restaurants use a lot of both. You have no control over the ingredients used, nor the cooking method, and it becomes that much harder to control your health.
I used to struggle with this as well, but luckily found that once you start cooking, it becomes so easy and fun! But like every other healthy habit, you have to make time for it, and build it into your schedule.
So today I want to share a cooking video where I'll show you how to make 3 easy & healthy recipes, that you can add to your list of go-to recipes. These are recipes that I make a lot, and that of course represent “clean eating”, meaning I use whole, un-processed foods. Also, I focus on using very nutrient-dense foods, aka "superfoods".
I'll also teach you easy tips to make your meals delicious and easy-to-digest, which is very important in order to get maximum nutrition from your food, and of course, important for weight loss.
Remember, cooking at home and trying different whole foods is such an important step to getting healthier. The key is to get started now, and start making it a daily habit.
For copies of these recipes, shoot me a message and I'll send over the recipe cards!
Love and Easy Cooking,
