44 Easy Healthy Recipes You Can (Probably) Make Right Now

Healthy can be hard, but it doesn't have to be. Sometimes the healthiest recipes are the most simple! All you need are real, wholesome foods, combined in different ways to create new flavors and delicious dishes. And I'm not just talking about fruit salads, and roasted vegetables. These can all be delicious options, but they're not theonlyoptions if we want to be healthy and make life easy on ourselves at the same time. There are tons of easy healthy recipes out there!

I'm talking about pancakes, muffins, veggie burgers, mozzarella sticks, fruit roll-ups, homemade tortillas and pizza dough, cookies, macaroons, even a soufflé—all made using 3 simple, wholesome ingredientsor less. Say whaaat?!I've got 44 easy healthy recipes to share with you, and each recipe only requires 2 or 3 ingredients! Many of those ingredients you probably have at home right now. It's time to raid the pantry. Discover the nutritious feast that you can make with just a few items!

You should be warned: in a few of these 3-ingredients-or-less recipes, I did not count cooking oil/spray, seasonings (like salt, pepper, sweetener…), or water because most of us generally have constant access to these ingredients in our kitchens. If you are bothered by this, I assure you, I can count. And, in many of those recipes, the seasonings or sweetener are optional. My intention is not to deceive anyone!

I like to focus on the simplicity of these recipes in the hopes that it will encourage people to get in the kitchen and try them. Some of these recipes are simpler than others, a few may require some trial and error, but ALL of them are delicious!
