I’ve been on a major fruit and veggie kick lately. Ever since doing Whole 30, I’ve really realized just how important it is to eat healthy fruits and vegetables daily. When I grocery shop, 90 percent of my cart is fresh produce.
Believe it or not, there are tons of flavorful and unique recipes you can make using ONLY fruits and vegetables as the ingredients. Today I’ve rounded up 10 such recipes. A disclaimer though: Some of these recipes will call for dressings and toppings but you can easily leave those off if you really do only want the fruits and veggies!
Fruit Salad. Fruit salad is easy, fresh, and delicious! This fruit salad recipe from Romancing The Past will take you less than five minutes to prepare.
Sweet Potato Fries. This is my favorite way to eat a sweet potato. Obviously. Crisp and delicious, these babies are way healthier than your normal french fries! Try this recipe from Simply Recipes next time you need a treat.
Baked Kale Chips. Kale is one of the healthiest vegetables on the planet and I actually happen to love it. Baked kale chips have become trendy lately, and for good reason! This recipe from Nom Nom Paleo will teach you just how to make them.
Avocado Corn Salad. Avocado anything is my very favorite. Plain, mixed with things, you name it. This healthy avocado and corn salad from Well Beauty Blog would go great alone or served with chips or your favorite entrée.
Baked Zuchinni Chips. Now this recipe from Skinny Ms calls for cheese to bake the Zucchini in but I leave the cheese off and simply slice the zucchini and bake it so it’s only the vegetable! These guys come out so crisp and delicious. You can also use squash to make these. They are so healthy for you and taste way better when baked!
