What Is Clean Eating?
Clean eating or eating clean means eating food in its natural state – or as close as possible.
When you’re on a clean eating diet you:
1) Eat whole foods like fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and healthy fats.
2) Keep your intake of processed foods (junk food, fried food & sugar) to a minimum.
If you’re trying to healthy-up your diet, you know eating clean is tough for an adult, and close to impossible for a child who lives for the drive-through!
But it doesn’t have to be.
You can clean up your kid’s food one recipe at a time. Remember, take small steps towards eating healthier each day.
That will be so much easier than trying to do a complete overhaul – which will stress everyone out!
