How Mindful Eating Could Change Your Whole Damn Life


Greek Goddess Chicken Lettuce Wraps

Might want to get extra napkins for these guys.

Avocado Chickpea Salad Sandwich

At this performance, avocado will be playing the role of mayo and chickpeas will be playing the role of tuna.

Cheese in moderation is allowed on a typical clean eating diet—so go easy on the mozz, OK?

Spring Roll Bowls

Chopsticks mandatory.

Just like Grandma used to make (but a million times lighter).
