Clean Eating. Naked. Organic. Real. Raw.
That’s what food should be. Many fruits and vegetables are far easier to digest raw rather than cooked, leaving you with more nutrients and fewer added calories and less added fat. Try going raw for just half a day’s meals, and watch the pounds fall off. It’s a simple commitment, and I bet you’ll look and feel like a million bucks! Try this delish Heirloom Tomato & Chevre Basil Salad and you’ll taste the beauty of clean eating.
