Whole30 Recipe Roundup - The Healthy Foodie

It’s January!!!!

You know what that means, right? Time to get our asses back in gear and start eating right again. And also too, cleanse our bodies of all the non-optimal foods we’ve been treating them to these past couple of weeks…

What better way to do that than by taking the Whole30® challenge, right? I know a lot of you have probably worked up the courage to do that — if that’s your case, well, huge congratulations and hats off to you! I have full confidence in you and trust that you can do that.

Like I always say: It’s only food, and it’s only 30 days. You totally got this! 

Sometimes, though, the hardest part about making it through this challenge is staying inspired in the kitchen, while cutting back on so many of our habitual options!

I thought I would help you stay inspired by sharing 30 of my own personal favorite Squeaky Clean recipes with you.

Oh, and even if you haven’t really committed to taking the challenge per se (like yours truly) you can still check out the recipes, you know. They will definitely help you get back on the right track and keep things a bit cleaner and healthier, this January!
