Happy EASTER!
It is such a wonderful time of year, the sun is starting to come out, flowers are blooming and Jesus is ALIVE. :)
Spring is also a wonderful time to start eating healthy again. I know that I always WANT to eat clean and healthy this time of year, it is not a job or something I have to do. Usually during the winter I tend to want to eat sweets and things that make me warm, like pastas or soups, but now that it is getting warm, I want fresh foods that make me feel alive. It is almost like spring cleaning for you body, your body is being renewed day by day.
This spring and summer I challenge you to start eating healthy. I promise it make you feel great and you really start to not crave all the bad foods that make you feel bad.
But remember healthy foods do not have to be boring, there are tons of great recipes to enjoy. I am always looking online for great new recipes to try out.
