Know any super healthy recipes?

I was introduced to a super easy dish a few months ago that may have changed my life. A spring mix salad, topped with a few walnuts and a couple apple slices, using local apple cider as the dressing. I asked the girl who first made it for me for some more good recipes, and we ended up talking about the virtues of being a vegetarian, which after a few months has slowly started to become my choice of lifestyle.

I;m not suggesting this salad will make you a vegetarian, but you should give it a try. It’s easy, healthy (I think, anyway), and super simple to do 100% organically.

Oatmeal with skim milk for breakfast, can of tuna with ginger and lemon pepper for lunch, poached chicken breast with steamed veggies for dinner.

Stay off the whites (rice, bread, sugar) minimize the carbs and snack on fruit and nuts, carrots and a square of dark chocolate for desert!

My other rules are no or low salt, grill, bake or steam the foods and avoid fruit drinks and sodas.

Any vegge recipe is super healthy. Roasting vegetables brings out the flavor.

Take a winter vegetable mix: butternut squash, onions, parsnips, carrots and sweet potato and cut them in chunks (peel the squash,sweet potato and parsnips), sprinkle with olive oil, salt and pepper, then mix it around to coat everything well. Roast at 425 degrees for 35 min, turning once. Note: you can vary the vegetable mix to your taste.

One of the most healthy and delicious recipes I know is Curried Cauliflower and Chick Peas over whole grain rice.

What are you cutting from your diet? It would be helpful to know so we don’t give you lots of suggestions with things you can’t have.

{ see in another question that you like fresh-baked bread. May I suggest this book? Healthy Bread in Five Minutes a Day.

It is fantastic and has recipes for all kinds of dietary restrictions. I have a batch of the peppered pumpkin bread dough in the fridge right now…mmmm.

This isn’t really a recipe, but when I’m lazy and want a healthy lunch I bake a sweet potato (the orange kind). They’re filling, jam-packed with vitamins, and delicious. Plus it’s always easier to eat healthy when it it doesn’t require much more work than eating badly.

Just wash the potato, poke it a few times with a fork, wrap in foil and bake at 400 for 50–60 min (or until it’s soft).

Just making sure you include 5 cups a day of fruits and vegetables in a variety of colors is the healthiest thing you can do for your diet. It is high volume, low calorie food and full of phyto- chemicals and the variety of colors work together to give you a synergistic health benefit.

Thank you guys for your fabulous answers :)))
