Browsing through the Eat Clean Live Green archives, I came across 3 amazing recipes I haven’t made in way too long – they are simple, delicious and real food winners!

Winner #1: Cookie Dough Almond Butter

Winner #2: Pumpkin Red Lentil Soup

Winner #3: Sweet Potato and Black Bean Enchiladas
There were some fantastic entries in the You Know You’re a Health Enthusiast When…. contest!
Katie:
When a bowl of oatmeal is never just oats. In goes: almond milk, almond butter, agave, cinnamon, maca powder, home-dried fruit and any seed you can get your hands on and that’s just the breakfast version!
Your breakfast no longer consists of a granola bar but turns into a huge ordeal consisting of 5-7 ingredients filled with seeds, nut butters, oats, and yogurts.
when driving past a fast food place makes your stomach turn, and you want to run in there and lecture everyone about what awful things they are putting into their bodies!
Tracy:
a guy knows to ask you out in the gym for a date…to go hiking.
I know I’m a health enthusiast because I’m always explaining the different ingredients I use like wheat germ, flax seed, and chia seeds. It’s fun to inform them
.
Sharon:
You get excited when you see a fridge full of fresh produce. Your heart pumps faster, can’t stop smiling, and your mind starts racing to think of what delicious food you are going to make and share with others.
You love grocery shopping, but have troubles resisting temptation – that is, temptation to overbuy on fresh produce. Damn, those fresh crisp apples look so beautiful, that you cannot resist but to buy 2 boxes of them (and each box is already 7lbs). And goodness gracious, do you need 10lbs of oranges? Yes, yes you do.
your mom sends you pictures of what she cooked that day, because she knows you photo document your food!
and your friends start texting you random food facts about themselves (tonight, the boy texted me: ‘Satsuma mandarins are my favorite’.
You buy 4 jars of Almond Butter and 5 containers of Greek Yogurt at Trader Joe’s and fear it won’t make it through the two weeks until you can go for a return trip.
Your dresser is covered with a stack of race shirts from this running season.
Jean:
You no longer eat meals called "breakfast, lunch and dinner", instead your eats are most commonly referred to as:
"Pre-Workout….
"Post-Workout"….
…and on endurance days, "Mid-Race Fuel" –

This post reminded me that it’s been WAY too long since I’ve made my own nut butter. I’ll have to choose a nut when I do groceries later on and whip some up this weekend….

I’m winning because it’s Friday, the weather’s warming up and I’m inspired to try some new fitness goals. Also, I’m drooling. I love black beans and sweet potatoes together! I may just have to try your enchilada recipe.

I’m winning today because a huge project at work is finally over and now it’s the weekend! I got to sleep in a tiny bit and now I’m having a relaxing morning… crock pot oats are simmering away and I have a green monster experiment to try.
