Get Social Click each image to find the original recipe. I'm just here compiling a list of new recipes I'm planning to try this 2017. My first priority is that they are healthy recipes. You could say I'm starting a clean eating regimen, however my body just needs good food. Simple as that. These recipes also have to be filling, and something different! I'm getting sick of the basic healthy recipes. I wanted to hopefully inspire others on a new healthier menu for at least the first week of the new year! #1 THE EASY MEAL: Cranberry Walnut Chicken Salad - This recipe can originally be found on my 'Healthy Eats' Pinterest Board too! :D I picked this one because it's a healthy chicken salad with a winter palate. The walnuts and cranberries also have some great health benefits. Walnuts are full of omega-3 and so improve heart function, bone health, and metabolism. They taste really good too. Cranberries bring a whole other element to this chicken salad with their color! Oh, and cranberries are ranked as one of the healthiest foods in the world. Honestly there is so many good things cranberries do, I'm not going to type it all up. Google it :)*Explain why I personally picked it. #2 Get Into It!: Skillet Style Kale, Shrimp & Sweet Potato Stir Fry - Where do I start? Well first off shrimp is a great lean protein, and I LOVE the flavor. Shrimp is by far my favorite seafood. Then there is kale, one of the superfoods. Sweet potatos are delicous & healthy too! I think this is a great idea for something different, but still healthy for all body/diet types. #3 Keep It Up: The Spicy Chicken Taco - Yum and a half on this one! It's like healthy food getting a junk food lease on life. I don't know, but all those flavors have got to taste good together. The hot spices will help your circulation, like paprika and cayenne. We all know chicken is the healthier white meat. So all around this is a win! #4 Get a Little Fancy: Pita Tostadas with Butternut Squash, Black Beans & Avocado - Look at this beautiful pita! I found this on one of those clean eating feeds on Pinterest. It was right at the beginning of a great "Pinterest hole". lol... you know when you find something amazing and then scroll down, and then find something else amazing, and then realize you spent like an hour looking at healthy recipes with avocado topping. Anyways I think it's worth a mention how beautiful and unique this one is, and yet still incredibly healthy. The butternut squash offers a good dose of daily dietary fibers, as well as high levels of pottassium. While it's true that litrally all the ingredients on this pita are nutritional, I'm only going to mention one more. The avocadoooo! I love avocado on anything, but most importantly avocado is extremely high in nutritional value. It is widely considered one of the super foods for it's benefits. Don't forget to click on each image to get the original recipes! #5 The Last One is the Sweetest!: Healthy Hazelnut Nutella Fudge - This only has 3 ingredients. These little treats look decedant, and contains only Nutella, Coconut Oil, and Cocoa Powder! I was most excited about the addition of the coconut oil. Coconut oil has so many benefits, more than any other thing on this list. It's great for your complection, boosts immune system, lowers blood pressure, and cholesterol. Coconut oil taste great and provides us with the RIGHT fatty acids. I love coconut oil, can you tell?
