Just to review: that's eating clean 80 percent of the time and treating yourself the other 20 percent. We've rounded up some clean recipes that stick to the parameters of our 2-Week Clean-Eating Plan — whole grains, lean proteins, no dairy, and lots of fruits and veggies. Read on to see how you can keep it clean with every meal of the day. And know that you can start our Clean-Eating plan at any time; learn more about the plan here.
