Today is day nine of my 31 Days of Clean Eating, Meal Planning and Prep series. Cleaning out your pantry is one thing, but knowing what to replace your processed foods with is another.
Today I am sharing my healthy pantry clean eating printable to help guide you in the process of making your pantry stocked full of real and healthy foods.
These are only suggestions and you do not have to have them all, but they are a great place to start.
Clean Eating Pantries Mean Healthy Families!
Nuts and Seeds
Nuts and seeds are full of energy, protein, packed with vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and omega-3 fatty acids.
