Salmon glazed in whole-grain Dijon mustard, maple syrup, lemon, garlic, and thyme is spot on! You can go for any veggies you like as a side, though I like potatoes and asparagus.

I love crispy salads that marry fruits and vegetables like this one! It is an interesting fusion of quinoa, edamame, dried cherries, grapes, blueberries, feta, walnuts, and the most amazing salad dressing with orange juice.

Hummus Bowl

I like the idea of making a hummus bowl and having all my favorite toppings on one plate. I like couscous the best in this combination, as it pairs wonderfully with multicolor cherry tomatoes, Kalamata olives, and feta. P.S. Go for whole-grain pita bread!

Honey Garlic Shrimp 

Heavily seasoned shrimps are kind of classic, right? However, when you want to eat clean, choose low-sodium sauces for this. Opt for any side dish you fancy, from quinoa over grilled veggies to a simple, fresh salad.

Kimchi Brown Rice Bliss Bowl

Kimchi is a true superfood, loaded with all the gut-healthy stuff. This recipe is vegan, and it calls for tempeh, but you can go for any protein source you feel like. Drizzle peanut sauce on top to round the flavors.

One Pot Roasted Pepper Whole Wheat Pasta

If you adore pasta (like I do), your first mission when transferring to clean eating is to find fine-quality whole-wheat kind that actually tastes good and is not overly grainy. I love roasting peppers, tomatoes, and garlic before making a sauce, as it has a richer taste.

One Pot Roasted Pepper Whole Wheat Pasta
I am going to be honest. I was extremely skeptical about one pot pasta. I could appreciate the beautiful before photos of raw pasta, tomatoes, and other deliciously fresh ingredients all sitting in one pot.

Vegetarian Pizza

You can get wholemeal pizza dough in the store or simply make it yourself; it is not a big change, to be honest. Top it with loads of veggies and some organic cheese if you can get your hands on it.

Clean Eating Vegetarian Pizza
Sometimes you just need a slice of pizza. Like at your kids birthday parties, whilst having movie night with your family or during the Eurovision Song Contest (Ooh yeah, that’s the way I roll people!). I believe that pizza is something that should be enjoyed by everyone, every once in a while.

Cabbage Soup

If you hate the aroma and taste of cooked cabbage, skip this recipe, as both of them are really strong. This soup is like an antioxidant bomb – loaded with veggies, herbs, and garlic; plus, it has an extremely low number of calories per portion, about 100.

Spicy Lentil Soup

If you have never had a lentil soup before, you’re missing on so much! This is a light but still hearty and filling dish. What’s even better, red lentils are fantastic to pair with some “heavier” spices like curry, cumin, turmeric, and a true game-changer – cinnamon.

Butternut Squash Stew

Butternut squash is a fine base for stews and soups, as it gives a nice silky, rich texture when cooked through. I love the ingredient selection in this recipe: chickpeas, tomatoes, kale, and loads of spices.

Earth Goddess Buddha Bowl

Barley, quinoa, sweet potatoes, and shiitake mushrooms all have earthy, almost woody undertones, but they pair flawlessly. Fresh veggies are a must, as they give the missing crunch and freshen up the flavor.

Grilled Fish Bowl

I find grilling the best method to prepare fish – it is super juicy, soft, and with a signature charred smack. Load the bowl with brown rice, red cabbage, black beans, and tomatoes, with creamy guacamole on top.
