(Cause Your Body Needs It)
The last few weeks have been filled with plenty of celebratory food and drinks at the kickback and if you enjoyed the holidays as much as I did you probably need some healthy shit to balance it all out. If you missed my recipe for a detox green juice you can check it out here, but if you're looking for something more substantial this list is perfect for you. Each recipe is full of good fats, healthy proteins, and a bunch of veggies that will have you feeling full and satisfied without the guilt.
Everyone knows salmon is rich in Omega 3 fatty acids, which can improve everything from anxiety to brain health, and when paired with asparagus and potatoes you'll get a light refreshing meal that's low in calories and rich in nutrients.
Chicken is a great source of protein and depending on whether you prefer breasts or thighs it can be full of flavor. When tossed with a handful of veggies in a lemon marinade, and possibly a side of rice, you'll get a delicious meal packed with Vitamin C and fiber. Good for your skin and gut health.
