Hey reader!
Ben and I have been exploring the Mediterranean Diet recently (not "diet" as in slash fat and calories, rather "diet" as a style of eating) in combination with increased exercise to support our heart's health.
GETTING OLD IS SO MUCH FUN!!! 10/10 RECOMMEND!!
Anyway, the great thing about eating in this way is that it can healthy AND fun, as evidenced by these fresh, crunchy, flavorful recipes featuring Mediterranean diet staples like beans, fish, vegetables, fresh herbs, gluten free whole grains, and healthy fats.
From lick-your-plate-worthy salmon, to toppings-packed salads, these gorgeous, Mediterranean-inspired recipes prove that eating healthy doesn't have to be boring!
