Recreating Restaurant Classics
Healthy versions of some of your favourite recipes
We miss going out to eat! From looking over the menu to fresh, delicious food being brought to your table, there’s nothing like a night out at your favourite restaurant. So for our February meal plan, we decided to recreate some of our classic restaurant dishes at home, with a healthy twist of course. So make tonight’s menu a satisfying kale chicken Caesar salad followed by a decadent brownie—once your meal is ready, light some candles and turn off the kitchen lights for some restaurant ambiance and voila! Thanks to our friends at Revive Wellness for developing this nutritionally balanced meal plan.
