Some people might look at fun healthy recipes and see an oxymoron. Sure, there are some healthy recipes that are boring, but I’ve seen a whole lot of unhealthy recipes that are boring, too.
Having fun in the kitchen is inspiring, energizing, and can generate some really healthy and delicious results.
I don’t know about you, but my main motivation for eating a healthy diet is to be able to have more fun in my life. More energy, more days without sickness or disease, more years on the planet, more motivation to contribute positive energy to others.
Those are all the lofty ideals, but when it comes down to it, they’re all just about being able to have fun on a daily basis.
Fun healthy recipes can be different for different people. Phil loves having pizzas mounded with vegetables, or anything stuffed – tomatoes, peppers, mushrooms. I love a richly flavored tomato sauce, or fresh rolls with a tasty dipping sauce.
We both have fun eating meals with our hands, like tacos or lettuce wraps. Sometimes I like to make a meal entirely of fries – sweet potato, carrot, parsnip, zucchini… and then a few different dips for experimenting with flavor combinations.

Fresh homemade biscuits are perfect alongside a soup, stew or fresh salad. Gingerbread men (and women) are easy to make in a healthy way, and leave you lots of opportunities for fun decorations or just fun eating. You can even find fun healthy recipes for breakfast, like vegan french toast made with bananas.
Not only is it healthy and vegan, but how delicious is banana french toast?? I love it more than egg-based french toast.
