With the New Year upon us, many peoples’ resolutions include a commitment to live a healthier lifestyle. For some that may mean hitting the gym a few times a week. For others it could be a simple pledge to drink more water. Unfortunately, 80 percent of people break their New Year’s resolutions by February.* To help you stay on track for the rest of this month and throughout the year, we’ve rounded up some of our favorite better-for-you recipes that are full of flavor!
#1. Paleo Chicken Lemon Spinach Artichoke Stew
This clean and hearty stew is a delicious weeknight dinner that uses simple ingredients plus Pure Lemon Extract for a zesty finish. The blend of dark and white chicken gives the stew a rich taste, while the fresh baby spinach balances out the briny bite from the capers.
#2. Spicy Vegan Orange Chik’n Rice Bowls
Plant-based foods are all the rage. If you’re interested in trying out this trend, our vegan orange “chicken” bowl is the perfect place to start! It takes just 15 minutes to prepare and stars our Pure Orange Extract and Pure Lemon Extract. The extracts give this dish a bright and slightly tangy flavor that complements the boldness of the ginger. Have fun with the toppings – we love crushed peanuts, chopped green onion and sesame seeds for added taste and crunch.
#3. Almond Crusted Tofu Bites and Lemon Ginger Dip
These crunchy tofu bites are a great snack to hold you over until your next meal. They also make a delicious party appetizer! Pure Almond Extract and Pure Lemon Extract mix together in this recipe for a sweet and savory flavor that’s addictive. Pro-tip: make them ahead of time and quickly reheat them in the oven before serving.
#4. Pressure Cooker Mexican Chocolate Three Bean Chili
This slow pressure cooker three bean chili is warm and filling. The recipe’s rich flavor comes from a combination of our Pure Chocolate Extract and mix of spices. It’s a quick lunch or dinner option that hits the spot when temperatures are freezing cold. Garnish with any topping of your choosing. Our favorite combo is sour cream, shredded cheese and avocado.
#5. Lemon & White Bean Kale Soup
This humble soup will keep you satisfied throughout your day. Plus, it takes only 10 minutes to prepare – all the work is in the slow cooker! Adding Pure Lemon Extract really ups the ante of the dish by giving the broth a slight tang.
