clean eating dinner idea

Do you like broccoli and cabbage as much as I do?

Ever since I was a little kid, I’ve liked the wholesome, grassy taste of both broccoli and cabbage. Coming from a traditional Chinese family that often ate traditional Chinese dinners, broccoli and cabbage were widely-used vegetables in our dinners.

So glad to create today’s clean eating recipe of broccoli-cabbage stir fry.

This was a side dish, and it provided just the right amount of vegetables. We had ours with chicken and rice, but of course, you can also eat it alone.

I loved the combination of vegetables and oyster sauce. What I love more, though, is how absolutely clean this is.

I hope you enjoy today’s clean eating dinner idea as much as our family did.

Clean Eating Dessert Recipe – Maple Pecan Bananas

Clean Eating Dessert Recipe – Maple Pecan Bananas

124

Welcome back to Clean Eating Recipes Blog!

Today’s clean eating dessert was absolutely scrumptious!

Don’t know about you, but I’m a huge fan of bananas. Not only are they tasty, they’re healthy too. With an abundant amount of potassium, magnesium, vitamins, fiber, and other nutritional values, bananas make the perfect fuss-free clean eating snack. Whenever I’m in a hurry, I’ll grab a banana to go.

Today’s Clean Eating Dessert was fuss-free as well.

It took less than 20 minutes, and was sweet and tasty. I enjoyed the natural sweetness of real maple syrup, the soft texture of browned banana slices, and crunchiness of pecans.

Also, there was a hint of coconut in this recipe, which made a nice addition.

I hope you enjoyed this recipe as much as I did. And yes, I highly recommend it.

Clean Eating Dessert Recipe – Maple Pecan Bananas (makes 2)

Ingredients (sauce):

– 1/3 cup of real maple syrup (RAW Foods Organic Maple Syrup is just fantastic!)

– 1 table spoon of butter

– 1/4 cup of organic coconut milk (I recommend Nature Value Organic Coconut Milk, with no preservatives or stabilizer, and are packed in cans with PBA-free lining.)

– 3 table spoons of organic raw pecans

Ingredients (bananas):

– 1 table spoon of organic coconut oil (Trader Joe’s Organic Coconut Oil has always been my top choice.)

– 2-3 ripe organic bananas, peeled, cut into halves, then sliced in half length-wise

Directions:

1. Heat sauce pan over medium heat. Add maple syrup, butter, coconut milk and pecans. Bring to a boil.

2. Now reduce heat to medium-low, and let simmer until sauce thickens. (Takes about 10 minutes.)

3. Meanwhile, heat frying pan over medium-high heat. Add coconut oil.

4. Lay banana slices in pan, and brown both sides.

5. Lay banana slices on a plate, and pour sauce over each slice.

Enjoy!

Clean Eating Dessert – Raspberry Greek Yogurt Smoothie

Clean Eating Dessert – Raspberry Greek Yogurt Smoothie

1

Ingredients

• 1/2 frozen banana, chopped
• 1/2 cup of strawberry frozen Greek yogurt (or any berry flavored frozen Greek yogurt)

Instructions

1. Add everything into a blender, and blend til' smooth.

Notes

If you want your smoothie to have the best consistency, get a Vitamix blender, specifically the Vitamix 6300. It has 3 pre-programmed settings, including one for smoothies. You turn it on, and are hands-off through the entire process. The blender will blend according to program, and result is truly wonderful. I've had my Vitamix for a while, and it's one of the BEST kitchen appliances I've ever bought.

Clean Eating Breakfast Recipe – Chives and Feta Scrambled Eggs

Clean Eating Breakfast Recipe – Chives and Feta Scrambled Eggs

2

Hi everyone. Welcome back to Best Clean Eating Recipes!

Isn’t it ironic that the easiest recipes are usually the best? Today’s Chives and Feta Scrambled Eggs is no exception. It was simple, quick and healthy; but most of all, it was tasty.

One of my favorite herbs is chives.

Its grassy and slightly sweet flavor agrees with my taste.

Growing up in China, our family ate chives every other day, because it’s used heavily in Chinese cooking. In the United States, though, there aren’t many chive-heavy recipes to my knowledge, except for recipes with eggs. Regardless, chives are still a nice herb to use, especially because of its abundant health values. According to Medical News Today, chives have been proven to reduce the risk of prostate and stomach cancer. Also, it elevates mood.

If you don’t use chives often, today’s clean eating breakfast is a good opportunity to start.

Believe me, it was soft and tasty, and a fantastic way to start the day.

I hope you enjoy the recipe as much as I did.

Clean Eating Breakfast – Chives and Feta Scrambled Eggs

Ingredients:

– 1/8 cup of organic chives, diced

– 1 table spoon of fat-free feta cheese crumbs

– 2 cage-free eggs

– 1/2 table spoon of organic butter

Directions:

1. In a mixing bowl, add eggs, chives and feta. Beat and mix.

2. Heat frying pan on high. Add butter.

3. When butter melts, reduce heat to med-high.

4. Pour in egg mix.

5. Scramble until eggs are completely cooked.

Enjoy!

Clean Eating Almond Butter Fudge

Clean Eating Almond Butter Fudge – no-bake, vegan, gluten-free, and sugar-free options!

Clean Eating Fudge - 3 ingredients, no sugar, no bake healthy "melt in your mouth" fudge... Read More » https://chocolatecoveredkatie.com/2016/01/26/unbelievable-melty-gooey-brownies/ @choccoveredkt

I first wrote about this almond butter fudge in my post on Why I Gave Up Running.

A lot has changed in the almost-three years since I first mentioned the recipe—I’ve moved to a new state, made new friends, started and ended relationships, published a cookbook…

And yet, after all these years, I am still obsessed with this impossible-to-stop-eating almond butter fudge. Oftentimes, I will just mix everything up right in the almond butter jar and completely skip the step of cutting it into fudge.

I’ve always been a taste-while-you-cook type of girl.

The raw fudge recipe is similar to my recipe for Healthy Peanut Butter Fudge, but banana haters will be thrilled to know that THIS ONE DOES NOT CALL FOR BANANA!

Nope, no banana whatsoever.

Of course you can use peanut butter, cashew butter, Sunbutter for allergy-friendly fudge, or another nut butter if you prefer. PB&Co Dark Chocolate Dreams chocolate fudge??? Not sure how anyone could say no to that. I’ve always wanted to try pistachio butter and only wish it weren’t so expensive. I bet it would be wonderful in this recipe.

But almond butter is still my #1 favorite for this clean eating fudge recipe, perhaps due to the memories it brings back of my life in Texas when I first came up with the combination and would polish off a third of a jar each morning before anyone else had woken.

Clean Eating Almond Butter Fudge

For A Chocolate Version: Chocolate Pumpkin Fudge

Yield: 8-13 servings

Print This Recipe 4.95/5

Instructions

*To sweeten, you can use maple syrup, agave, honey (non-vegan), stevia drops, etc. I actually really like this without any sweetener at all, and if you’re the kind of person who eats peanut butter from the jar, you might also like it unsweetened.

Be sure that you like the taste of whatever coconut oil you are using. My favorite brand is Whole Foods 365 Organic Virgin Coconut Oil; I’ve found some other brands to have a smoky flavor I’d rather not add to a dessert. To Make: Combine the almond butter and coconut oil or coconut butter, and gently warm until the nut butter is easily stir-able and the coconut oil is liquid. Stir in the sweetener if desired, then spoon into a plastic container or candy molds. Freeze a few hours until solid, and store leftovers in the freezer.

Citrus Kiwi Pineapple Homemade Fruit Roll Ups {Super Easy, Healthy}

Citrus Kiwi Pineapple Homemade Fruit Roll Ups {Super Easy, Healthy}

Super Simple and Healthy Citrus Kiwi Pineapple Homemade Fruit Roll Ups! These homemade fruit roll ups are an awesome snack for kids, adults, and active folk who need real food fuel! Homemade fruit rolls ups you can make in the dehydrator or oven. Real fruit based and no additives! PERFECTO!

Happy First Day of April! Remember how I promised more ways to use a dehydrator? Well, I have an easy peasy homemade fruit roll up recipe that you can add to that list –> NO JOKE! Haha, see what I did there? Once that list has a few more items to it I’ll post one MASSIVE dehydrator round up because obviously I love my dehydrator and it has saved me a TON of money. How does that sound?

I’m beginning to feel like Friday’s are my DIY homemade recipe days. Last week was homemade marshmallows, this week is Kiwi Pineapple homemade Fruit Rolls up, and next week will be homemade no bake snack bites (aka healthy bites). Ya’ll, I’m on a roll and I feel so “martha-esque.”

But the truth is I like making things from scratch, just as long as they are simple. And boy are these homemade fruit rolls ups simple. All you need is a blender and a dehydrator or your oven.

The only problem is that my husband eats them way too fast. He is a fruit roll up aholic. Actually he’s a homemade dried fruit snack aholic. Like most kids are, except he’s 33 going on 10. I joking.. kinda.

Okay so about these Kiwi Pineapple homemade Fruit Rolls up. They are PERFECT for YOU! What I mean by that is that they are ALL fruit based and loaded with Vitamin C.

Which makes these homemade Fruit Roll ups PERFECT for…

1. Portable snacks/workout fuel
2. Kid friendly lunch snacks
3. Satisfying sugar cravings (in a whole food based way)
4. Saving money and buying less packaged foods.
5. Using up extra ripe or ready to fruit and/or veggies
6. Boosting your Vitamin C and Fiber intake (which we all need)

See, PERFECT. My only regret is not making these more often, especially when my husband was Ironman training. These homemade fruit roll ups are perfect (there I go again using the word perfect) fuel for long runs, bike rides, etc. because they don’t melt and they are easy to digest. No artificial anything, phew!! Just look at that roll ya’ll.

I know what you are thinking. “But um.. Lindsay. I don’t have a dehydrator.” Yes, I know. NOt everyone does. But they are so worth it! I’ll get into that in another post. For now, let’s talk about how you can make these homemade fruit rolls up without a dehydrator. Yep, you can! ALthough it takes little more effort because you will need to use your oven at the lowest setting for about 6-8 hrs. Our Best Bites has a great tutorial about how to make homemade fruit roll ups in the oven, so check that out as well!

Well guys and gals! I hope I didn’t FOOL you into thinking this was hard, because it’s not! Promise. Go blend up some fresh veggies and fruit and let’s make some homemade fruit roll ups.

What fruit would you put in your homemade fruit roll ups?

Shock factor -> You can add tequila to blended strawberries and make strawberry margarita homemade fruit roll ups. WHOA.. MIND BLOWING! Although I don’t recommend using boozy fruit roll ups for pre workout fuel. LOL!

P.S

The dehydrator I use is very affordable and economical! I bought it on Amazon –> HERE.
