With a new year comes new resolutions, of which one of the most common is to eat healthier. If you are one of these people, then this is ideal for you. Don’t worry it’s nothing too drastic, it’s just a great 7-day guide to eating healthy packed with recipes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, with the odd treat thrown in along the way.
So, when we were looking for someone to provide the perfect guide it only took a second to think of the hugely talented Tieghan over at Half Baked Harvest.
Her outlook on healthy eating is pretty simple at its core: Eat whole foods, lots of colour and nothing processed. She isn’t one for cutting out specific food groups, or ditching butter, cheese, or even deserts, but she does love veggies, fruits, and whole grains.
It’s a good platform for eating healthy, and one we can all get behind. It just requires a bit of planning – not loads, but things that will help you save time in the long run.
