Vegetables can be steamed or grilled and spiced up with some garlic or other seasonings.
Finally fresh vegetables can be paired with almost anything. Therefore dinnertime should always include a plate full of vegetables.
Protein
Grilling meat is a great way to bring out flavours without needing to add much seasoning (or extra calories).
In addition meats, such as chicken and fish, are just as delicious when baked.
Cheese a favourite, and can add savoury flavour to almost any dish. In addition, organic eggs are a very good source of high quality protein and vitamins.
Grains and Carbs
Whole grain pasta and rice can serve as a great starting point for dinner. There are literally thousands of pasta and rice dishes out there. They can all be adapted towards a clean eating lifestyle.
