Welcome to Week Two of Healthy Recipes to Feel Your Best
We here at The Beet are trying to eat a clean diet, to be healthy and fit during these uncertain times (emphasis on trying). This plan for a clean, plant-based diet is designed to help you be your healthiest and boost your immune system now. Here's your week ahead at a glance.
So you can be aware of getting all your nutrients and doing it with clean plant-based foods, we added up the total macros for each day and created a sample week of healthy eating to make sure you get all the proteins, fiber, carbs and calories you need without overdoing it. That way you can be sure that the meals add up to a healthy day of plant-based eating.
Want desserts? We created 5 delicious “clean eating” desserts to add into your day. Want to skip dessert and even lose some weight? We leave that up to you! Here is your week 2 of recipes. Make them, and send us your pictures of how it turned out! We want to see them and if we think they are helpful to others, we will publish them as part of our series called “Reality Bites!”
