Eating amazing nutrient-dense, clean and low-carb meals doesn’t have to involve complex cooking or tons of time. The recipes in this series are delicious, inspired by our travels, and designed to make eating according to the Seven Principles easy and enjoyable.

Free-Range Organic Eggs (7 minute, hard boiled, scrambled, fried, poached)

Roasted Vegetables - sweet potato, parsnip, squash, zucchini (recipe here)

Tofu

Tempeh
