I feel like there’s this idea that healthy food either has to be boring and take little time or is complicated and requires 30 steps to make a really great meal. I don’t know about you, but I like to live somewhere in the middle with a hit of really easy sprinkled into my weekday meals.

So may people I talk with have this thought process that that eating healthy—or following something like the Mediterranean diet—has to be complicated. That’s actually not true and I’ve set out to find and make really delicious, healthy meals in a way that makes them easy, accessible and affordable for people. I tend to eat a lot of Mediterranean food and love the Mediterranean diet for so many reasons (hence the reason you see a lot of it here on the site) but I love to make it fun, fresh, and simple.

This is exactly how I tend to eat day to day:

fresh ingredients
simple combinations
meals that come together quickly
and still feel really good to eat

Nothing fancy. Nothing time-consuming.

Just good food that works in real life.

Splash vanilla
Drizzle honey

Instructions
Stir everything together until well combined. Refrigerate for at least 20 minutes (or overnight).
Top with a sprinkle of coconut before serving.

Why it works:
Fiber-rich, lightly sweet, and balanced with healthy fats to keep you full.

2 tsp almond butter (lightly melted)

Mediterranean Eating Gets To Be Easy

Eating well doesn’t need to be complicated. Sometimes, you just need fresh inspiration.
