Beeting the
Resolution Rut

Bright, fresh, and (most importantly) insanely tasty recipe suggestions to help you steer clear of dreadful fad diets and junk food alike. After all, what good is resolving to be healthier if you're not enjoying your new lifestyle?

They say it takes three weeks to make a habit. We say it takes three weeks to get panicked about running out of healthful recipes that you’re actually excited to eat! Have no fear: Love Beets is here. Let these recipes inspire you to stay committed to living well and eating nourishing, whole foods.

Clean Eating Sandwich 

“Clean eating” has evolved into such a buzz phrase, it’s easy to forget the simple concept it represents. Choosing whole, unrefined, natural foods is an easy way to “eat clean” — and those foods tend to be naturally low in fats, sugars, and sodium. This sandwich simultaneously illustrates that lifestyle and serves as a oh-so-yummy lunch.

Beet, Apple, Carrot, and Ginger Slaw

Gloopy, mayo-based cole slaw’s distant cousin, this vibrant shredded veggie blend is packed with antioxidants, flavor, and nutrients galore. Beets’ natural anti-inflammatory powers are exponentially boosted by ginger’s own major health benefits. Everything about this dish is soul-warming and immunity-building, making it the perfect winter side dish.

Beet, Berry, and Chia Seed Smoothie

This smoothie’s gorgeous hue isn’t the only reason you’ll want to pour some more. Blueberries live up to their powerhouse antioxidant reputation, blending beautifully with the creamy texture of beets swirled into sweet coconut milk and tangy cider. The result is a thick, shake-like beverage without the burden of a milkshake’s sugar and fat. Cheers!

Detox Kale Salad

A healthy lifestyle blog post wouldn’t be completely without a recipe for a fabulous salad. This one is extra-special because of the gorgeous lemon-parsley dressing: thick enough to glaze each ingredient without muting the fresh flavors with a heavy coat of oil. With healthy, brain-power boosting fats from avocado and walnuts, this rainbow-in-a-bowl will brighten your lunch and help you surpass the dreaded 2pm slump.
