I’ve gotten several requests recently for easy clean eating recipes, so I thought I would give you some 30 minute or less meal ideas!
When you’re doing your best to balance all of your responsibilities, I know it can be really daunting to sit down after an intense day and figure out what to eat. When you’re overhauling your diet to clean eating, trying to come up with new recipes can take some time. After some time passes while adhering to this type of diet, you’ll start gathering an arsenal of recipes that you love.
But until that happens, here are a few to get you started!
Have you ever tried spaghetti squash? Because of its natural noodle-like shape and texture, it’s an excellent replacement for any dish where you usually use noodles. For this particular dish, the squash is replacing the spaghetti noodles.
In an ideal world, buying locally raised, organic meat that you can have ground by a butcher is best. Otherwise, source organic meats from your local farmer’s markets or online at Butcher Box or US Wellness Meats. If you’re looking for a vegetable-based option, you can replace the meatballs with seared broccoli or mushrooms (or any of your favorite veggies).

This is another meal that can be made in 30 minutes or less with easily acquired ingredients! To make a turkey burger clean eating-friendly, we simply have to get a little creative with the “bun.” There are plenty of options you can have fun experimenting with to find what you love the most. You can also customize your burger with different toppings and seasonings to make it tasty for you.

This creative recipe can be used for any meal from breakfast to dinner! If you want to add more flavor to this treat, then you can add some peppers and garlic to the mix before you place it in the iron. Season your waffles to your taste, just be sure to leave them in the waffle maker until the edges become crisp. You can drizzle your creation with anything that fits into clean eating, so the only limit is your imagination! I recommend topping them with over-easy eggs.

This is probably the easiest and fastest on this list. All you have to do is choose a veggie mixture that suits your taste, lightly saute it with oil, and season to taste.
You can add your sauteed mixture to spaghetti squash or cauliflower rice to replace your traditional processed carbs like noodles or rice.
If you want to add a protein, you can saute free range chicken or grass fed steak along with your veggies.
For this recipe, try to find the freshest fish available—that makes a huge difference! You can cook your fish in your favorite way, or use my suggestion below. The great thing about tacos is that you can customize them to your heart’s desire! You can top with cilantro, chopped onions, pico de gallo, or cabbage slaw to give you some ideas.
