6 Clean Eating Recipes to Try This Week
Committing to eating a clean, healthy diet can be confusing. It is important to note that our modern diets’ nutrient density is nothing compared to what our ancestors had available. Even today’s fruits and vegetables are affected by mineral deficiencies in the soil, long-distance travel, food processing, genetic modification and more.

Chia Pudding with Almonds, Figs and Strawberries
Ingredients:
2 dried figs (sliced)
¼ teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon honey
1 cup almond milk (unsweetened)
3 tablespoons chia seeds
10 almonds
3 strawberries
Method:
Combine the figs, vanilla, honey, almond milk and chia seeds in a small bowl. Stir well and refrigerate overnight in a container. Chop the almonds, slice the strawberries and add them to your chia mixture the next morning.
Hot Chocolate
Ingredients:
1 square dark chocolate (70% or more cacao)
1 cup almond milk (unsweetened)
Method:
Heat the chocolate and almond milk in a saucepan and enjoy!
Dark chocolate has immense health benefits. It is a powerful source of antioxidants and contains high amounts of selenium, zinc, potassium, manganese, copper, iron and magnesium. It can further improve brain function, lower blood pressure and even improve your mood. It can help you to relax, destress, and acts as a powerful aphrodisiac.
Banana Strawberry Smoothie
Ingredients:
½ teaspoon vanilla
2 tablespoons butter
1 cup almond milk (unsweetened)
½ banana (frozen)
5 strawberries (chopped and cored)
Method:
Put all the ingredients in a blender and mix until smooth.
Mango Sorbet
Ingredients:
½ banana (frozen)
1 mango (peeled, cut in small blocks and frozen)
25 tablespoons of cold water
Method:
Combine the frozen banana and mango in a food processor and blend until the mixture looks like sorbet. If the mixture is too thick, add one tablespoon of water at a time as you feel is needed.
Chocolate Pudding
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons cocoa
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup almond milk (unsweetened)
½ avocado
Method:
Mix all the ingredients in a blender until smooth.
Tomatoes with Tuna Melt
Ingredients:
2 tomatoes
1 can of tuna
3 teaspoons olive oil
1 teaspoon mustard (Dijon)
⅛ teaspoon paprika
1-ounce mozzarella cheese (or any other white cheese alternative)
Method:
Preheat your oven’s broiler. Cut a small slice off each tomato’s top, so that the seeds are exposed. Scoop out the seeds with a spoon. Be careful not to tear the sides. Put the tomatoes on a baking sheet.
Use a fork to mix the paprika, Dijon mustard, olive oil and tuna together in a mixing bowl. Spoon the tuna mixture into the tomato cups.
Broil the tomatoes for a few minutes until the tops of the tomatoes start to brown and shrivel and until the tuna is warm.
Sprinkle the grated mozzarella cheese on top and broil again until the cheese has browned and melted.
Serve while it is hot!
