If you’ve been stocking up on plain and boring whey powders, gorging endless amounts of cucumber, and stuffing yourself with unsalted brown rice, then you’ve probably been doing healthy all wrong. Healthy food doesn’t have to be colorless, tasteless and soulless. Make your healthy food more appealing by introducing it to a wider variety of flavors and colors. Here are 7 colorful healthy recipes which are perfect for your lunch and dinners:
Mini Beetroot Falafel Burgers
One of the most colorful healthy recipes out there, which is perfect for kiddie lunchboxes. Falafels are packed with proteins and energizing carbs, while beetroot can add to the color and provide a healthy kick of antioxidants.
Wholewheat coleslaw sandwiches
Perhaps the best lunch you can take to the office on a busy workday. Make sure the coleslaw is made with low-fat greek yogurt to minimize on the calories.
Box Poached Chicken with Quinoa and Carrot-Celery Sauce
Quinoa is packed with nutrients and is a rich source of necessary fiber and protein. Celery is perhaps the only vegetable which needs to burn calories to be able to digest. Perfect win-win!
