11 Clean Eating Meal Ideas

4. Burgers/patties

Homemade burgers and patties can be made from any protein of your choice. The best thing about burgers is that you can sneak in healthy ingredients like spinach or kale, and your family will never know better. Burgers with minced chicken or turkey—instead of red meat—will provide the lean protein. Instead of making tuna patties, make salmon patties for less mercury and more Omega-3s. You can even make patties out of quinoa and beans! Spray your patties with a light layer of oil and bake them in the oven instead of frying them to cut down on the oil and grease. Eat alongside a salad or some roasted veggies and whole grain (i.e., brown rice) for the perfectly balanced meal.
