Clean Eating Recipe: Cilantro Jalapeño Hummus

Nothing is harder during a fitness journey than eating clean. We've all been there. We're working out more than ever. Doing so much cardio until we black out and making sure fitness isn't fun, we just want results. Week after week we step on the scale to see it barely move and we wonder why...

And we know the answer but ignore it thinking we can outrun it with effort but the reality is always there in the back of our minds: results are made in the gym, they're made in the KITCHEN!


We fear clean eating because we equate the word "CLEAN" with dry, bland and tasteless meals we have to force ourselves to eat. The reality of it is, clean eating is fun and insanely delicious! You just have to try a LITTLE BIT and get creative!


We'll be posting at least 1 new recipe per week. The main focus wil be on great taste, filling and more importantly: EASY TO COOK WITH MINIMAL TIME NEEDED!


These recipes will be built for those with a busy lifestyle and don't live in a kitchen or have the patience to spend 2+ hours cooking a single meal.
