When I was first learning about ways to eat clean, I was very overwhelmed.
I thought that I was going to be SO RESTRICTED and spend A TON OF MONEY!
I thought that there were TOO MANY RULES and that the food would get BORING!
I KNEW I needed to make a change for the sake of my health, but could I do it at the expense of my wallet and taste buds? No. I honestly wasn't willing to do that. But I wasn't willing to stay in my unhealthy eating rut, either.
So I read more and more and more.
I searched Pinterest for HOURS to find delicious CLEAN recipes.
I checked out TONS of grocery stores and online health food shops.
And here is what I found: It is TOTALLY possible to eat clean AND save money AND not sacrifice an inch of flavor!
Here is one of my FAVORITE clean eating recipes:
1 whole Chicken Breast, Cut into strips
2 TBS Honey
3 TBS Lemon Juice
3 TBS Tabasco Sauce
2 Bell Peppers, sliced
1 Onion, sliced
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil


Directions:
Mix Honey, Lemon Juice, and Tabasco Sauce and pour over chicken strips, let marinate. The longer, the better.
Sautee Bell Peppers and Onion in olive oil over medium heat until onions begin to turn translucent.
Add chicken and cook over medium-high heat  until cooked through.
Serve over a bed of Spinach and sliced Tomatoes, Berries, Hard-Boiled Eggs, and Cucumbers-- the Chicken and peppers are juicy enough that no dressing is required! :)
