Today I interview Sarah Ecklin, the founder of Clean Plate Mama, a website promoting healthy eating and providing recipes using real, whole, unprocessed foods. Sarah shares her approach to balanced eating, focusing on 80% real whole foods, 15% better-for-you processed foods, and 5% indulgences. She emphasizes the importance of clean eating and the evolution of her own understanding of what constitutes a healthy diet. Sarah discusses the challenges of maintaining a healthy lifestyle, especially with picky eaters in the family, and provides tips for busy families to incorporate nutritious meals into their routines. She also shares advice for starting a blog and staying motivated, as well as her favorite quotes and hobbies.
