12 Healthy Recipe-Free Meal and Snack Ideas

If I could snap my fingers and make one dream come true, it would be for people to give eating real food an honest try so they could experience its many benefits.

Back in January I led a 2-Week Real Food Challenge with my Facebook community where we did just that. 130 courageous people ditched sugar, wheat, and high-refined vegetable oils for vegetables, fruit, lean protein, healthy fat and dark chocolate. And in 14-days (or less!) here’s what people reported: [Read more…]
