If you’re new to clean eating or looking for more recipes, then you’ve come to the right place! I’ve rounded up the best clean eating recipes that are easy and delicious.
Clean Eating Diet & Recipes
Now’s the time of year when people are looking for a diet plan that can help increase energy and manage weight. I get it! I spent many years feeling sluggish and not happy with my body.
The good news is that you don’t have to follow a strict plan to get where you need to be. I mean, you can, but studies show that more moderate ways of eating are more sustainable over the long term. That’s why I love clean eating: it’s flexible, moderate, and easily adapted to one’s own needs.
In addition to linking to my favorite clean eating recipes in this post, I’m also offering my free Clean Eating 101 e-book and recipe guide. Download it here when you join my e-mail list here!
What is Clean Eating?
Just to be clear, there isn’t one strict definition of clean eating. I like to say that clean eating includes real, whole foods most of the time, choosing organic and sustainable options whenever possible. Clean eating also means selecting foods that meet one’s individual needs. Read more about the basics of clean eating.

Yes, I needed to read this article! I’ve been having this reoccurring illness and clean eating has actually helped me with getting better! Oatmeal does wonders, personally, for me! So, I’m glad it’s also on your list.
Krista Price says
Great read! I love that you mentioned that their isn’t a strict definition for “clean eating.” It’s definitely not a one-size-fits-all approach to nutrition! I lean towards more of a Paleo template, with some gluten-free grains and high-quality dairy because that’s what works for me! I’m a firm believer that once you figure out what foods make you feel your absolute best, the rest will fall seamlessly into place!
