I’m often asked if 'Eating Clean' means cutting out all of the good stuff - the short answer is yes, BUT that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy delicious AND nutritious meals.

Take for example Chicken Tahini - ordered at a restaurant you’re definitely looking at a calorific meal…making it at home you can control exactly how you cook it and what you’re adding to it. Chicken Tahini has to be one of my favorite easy prep/eat clean meals due to it’s low-cal high protein factor…bonus point because it’s easy to make!

This week, I’m sharing with you my Clean Eats Chicken Tahini Recipe - super easy and super delicious!
