Anyone can say that their New Year’s resolution is to eat healthy foods and lose weight. To put that plan into action is a different story entirely. It can be very challenging to start eating healthier foods, especially if those foods aren’t in regular rotation in normal recipes. So how does one start “eating healthy” all of a sudden, for example, as a New Year’s resolution? Well, it is quite easy to eat in a healthier way with a list of recipes to choose from.

For any resolution, it is best to have a plan and an accountability partner. Having someone accompany you on your health journey means that you can share recipes with that person. Is there a slightly competitive nature? Absolutely, but the support system is truly the gift of an accountability partner. Plus, if you eat out together, you can take turns finding healthy restaurants to try, which can open your eyes to new possibilities with different foods. 

If you want to start making healthy changes in the kitchen, then you need to have recipes to choose from. This article aims to help you on your path to better help by providing you with a series of recipes. Some of the recipes are raw vegan, meaning that our cleansers can enjoy them, while others are for vegans and vegetarians. Some of these recipes may even help detox the body after a long and indulgent holiday season. Eating healthier just makes you feel lighter, and the best part is that you don’t have to sacrifice flavor to feel this way! Here are some healthy choices to get you started on a healthier year of eating.

Good news, folks: we finally found the best tabbouleh recipe. It’s not just good, it’s great! In fact, it may stand up next to the tabbouleh at your favorite Middle Eastern restaurant, but we aren’t making any claims. This is a refreshing vegan dish is quite light, but also filling. You can enjoy it on its own or as an accompaniment to a larger meal. Tabbouleh is great for summer because the zesty flavor profile is refreshing on hotter summer days.

The main ingredient in tabbouleh is bulgur, which is parboiled cracked wheat, i.e. a whole grain. After you soak bulgur in hot water for about 40 minutes, it absorbs the water and becomes light and fluffy. It has a similar look to couscous and quinoa, but it is not the same by any means. Most people want to boil bulgur to cook it the same way they cook rice or quinoa, but the authentic way to prepare it is to soak it in hot water. This method yields the fluffiest bulgur for your tabbouleh.

Next to bulgur, parsley is the prominent ingredient in tabbouleh, which is why the salad is so green. It also contains green onion and fresh mint, which contributes to the green color and fresh flavor. Mint is standard in tabbouleh and is a complementary herbaceous note that complements the acidic tomato and crunchy cucumber. Have we said that the salad is refreshing enough yet? Well, it’s just light, airy, straight up delicious, and refreshing!

There is a refreshing quality to a traditional tabbouleh salad. Perhaps it is the aromatic herbs that assert themselves on your palate. They pair beautifully with the crunchy cucumber, acidic tomato, and vibrant lemon dressing. It’s probably one of the easiest and tastiest Mediterranean dishes you can make. If you like Mediterranean cuisine like we do, then you’ll want to get in on this action now.

Tabbouleh is a classic dish that’s made with bulgur wheat, parsley, tomatoes, cucumbers, mint, lemon and olive oil. It’s very common in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern regions, and the ingredients can vary depending on the recipe. The herbs, bulgur, tomatoes, and cucumbers are staples, but sometimes people add feta cheese, pomegranate seeds, and more. This recipe is all about simplicity though, and the ingredients speak for themselves. It’s a very fresh dish and we hope you enjoy it.

We thought about making a joke about grains, but it ended up being corny. You may be thinking, “Rye didn’t I come up with that?” Are we going too farro with this? We apologize, but once the puns get going, it’s hard to stop that train from rolling. 

For people who watch the amount of carbohydrates they consume, grains are always off limits. With the increased popularity of low-carb diets, like the ketogenic, carnivore, or paleo diets, more and more people avoid grains at all costs. Regardless of the person’s reasoning for avoiding grains, the simple fact is that they contain a lot of carbohydrates, but there are many low-carb grain options for people who still want to indulge. 

The grains in this article do have carbohydrates, but the incredible fiber content essentially reduces the carbohydrate count. In doing so, you are left with fewer digestible carbs, i.e. net carbs. For example, if a one cup of one grain contains 30 grams of carbs and five grams of fiber, there are 25 net grams of carbs in that cup. The seven best low-carb grains are detailed below.

Bulgur

This common cereal grain typically comes from cracked wheat berries. Bulgur probably has fewer carbs than any other grain on this list. This versatile grain is often found in salads, tabbouleh, pilaf, and the occasional porridge. It’s an excellent source of fiber, magnesium, B-vitamins, and iron, and has 25.5 net carbs per cup. Because it contains wheat, this grain is not safe for people with wheat sensitivities, allergies, or Celiac disease. 

Wild Rice

Derived from grasses in the Zizania genus of plants, wild rice is a grain that has fewer carbs than regular white rice. It boasts more fiber than white rice (barely any fiber there to begin with) and it has ten times the amount of antioxidant activity as white rice. Wild rice contains zinc, folate, and vitamin B6, and logs 32 grams of net carbs per cup. 

Millet

This grain is not a staple ingredient in the Standard American Diet, but it is a protein-rich grain that’s widely consumed in developing countries. It is gluten free and contains a lot of fiber, magnesium, folate, calcium, iron, and phosphorus. It also provides more essential amino acids than other cereals. With just 41 grams of net carbs per cup, there’s no reason not to consume millet. 

Oats

We’re oat so happy to include oats on this list! Okay, the puns are done now…we promise. One cup of cooked oats contains 21 grams of net carbs because of the high fiber content. Additionally, oats contain a fiber known as beta-glucan, which has demonstrated an ability to reduce LDL (bad) cholesterol levels. Oats also offer other nutrients like thiamine, phosphorus, magnesium, and manganese. 

Spelt

Spelt is one of the healthiest whole grains that you can eat. It’s an ancient grain that has been associated with reduced rates of type 2 diabetes and certain types of cancer. While spelt is on the higher end of the carb count with 44 grams of net carbs per cup, it does contain other beneficial nutrients, including manganese, magnesium, niacin, and zinc. 

Couscous

This food that’s so nice they named it twice! Commonly made from semolina flour or durum wheat, couscous is a staple grain in many Moroccan and Middle Eastern dishes. Most people don’t know that couscous is an excellent source of selenium, which is an essential trace mineral that encourages a healthy thyroid, immune system, and heart. One cup of couscous contains 34.5 grams of net carbs. 

Barley

Used in the production of beer, barley wheat is a common grain that has a distinct texture and nutty flavor. When you purchase barley for consumption, it’s best to purchase hulled barley because it is a whole grain and less processed. One cup of cooked barley contains 41.5 grams of net carbs, and it also offers manganese, selenium, magnesium, copper, and zinc.

The ketogenic diet is one of the most popular fad diets in existence. People are attracted to the diet because of the fact that they can eat butter, bacon, and cheese and lose weight. Well, that’s the lazy way to adhere to the keto diet. Is it possible to remain in ketosis while solely eating plant-based foods? We have the answers and some great recipes in this article. 

What Is The Keto Diet?

The keto-diet is an extremely low-carb diet that focuses primarily on fats and protein. The typical breakdown is about 70% fat, 25% protein, and 5% carbohydrates. The point of eating on this model is to allow your body to enter into ketosis, whereby it begins burning ketones instead of glucose for energy. Many common benefits include decreased cravings, increased metabolism, improved blood pressure, and an increase in muscle mass.

How Does Eating Fat Help The Body Burn Fat?

Typically, people consume excess carbohydrates and sugars, which the body cannot burn fast enough. The ending result is that fat accumulates in the body, typically around the midsection. You’d think that eating a fat-rich diet would increase fat storage, but when you deprive the body of sugar and carbohydrates, the primary fuel sources, the body adapts and begins burning fat for energy. As the body burns fat, it creates ketones that help to naturally increase metabolism.

We often get asked if people can continue to eat keto on a raw vegan diet, which accompanies all of our cleanses. The majority of the fats have to come from olive oil, coconut oil, nuts, seeds, avocados, and MCT oil, but know that you’ll be eating more carbs than the typical keto-diet calls for. This is due to the fact that vegetables and fruits contain natural carbohydrates. The goal is to swap high-starch vegetables for low-carb options that are rich in fats and proteins. Ultimately, you should be focusing on nutrient dense low-carb foods like:

• Leafy green vegetables (spinach, kale, collard greens, and chard)
• Non-starchy vegetables (asparagus, carrot, onions, mushrooms, cauliflower, & peppers)
• Healthy nuts (almonds, walnuts, pistachios, and pecans)
• Seeds (chia seeds, hemp seeds, pumpkin seeds, & flax seeds)
• Healthy fats (coconut oil, MCT oil, & olive oil)
