Can healthy = tasty?

If you're going to eat healthy it might as well taste good! While a lot of eating a cleaner diet doesn't always appeal to your taste buds if you are use to eating all the bold flavors of salt and sugar in the american diet.
With eating healthy you find an appreciation for the finer things in life. The subtle flavors in cooking or the amazing benefits of knowing at the end of the day that you didn't just eat... You fed your body what it needs to be nourished and thrive.
After eating pizza I want to lay down and take a nap, but with just a few extra healthy choices a day I can have the ability to take my little boy to the park.
Join me while we learn just a little more at a time!

Here is a recipe that is amazingly both tasty and healthy. I have personally made it a couple of times just this week because I have been so excited about how good it taste for something so healthy.

Almonds are so good for you! And if your looking for gluten free then try this!
