40 Creative Healthy Recipes for 2015

By Chris Cockren 13 Comments

40 Creative Healthy Recipes for 2015 | sharedappetite.com

Need a detox from all those cookies and holiday parties, but don't want to eat boring food?  Here are 40 Creative Healthy Recipes for 2015.  Get your year started off right!

Well, I didn't think it could happen, but it did.

I'm done with cookies.

No, not permanently.  C'mon, duh.

My body is craving a bit of a detox from my December diet (i.e. eat everything in sight).  Can anyone else relate?

But here's the deal.  All too often, eating healthy requires eating boring.  And I just can't do it.  I need flavor.  Big flavor.

So can I be honest?  This list is as much for me (probably moreso) as it is for you guys.  I need a reminder of what healthy fun eating looks like.

Wishing all of you and your families a very Happy and Healthy New Year!  Here's to you 2015.... 40 Creative Healthy Recipes for 2015.
