Sarah Britton of My New Roots On Building A Beautiful Meal

Eating well isn't just about nerding out on nutrition.  The trick to making great health habits stick is in keeping meals as fun and beautiful as possible too. 

Plant-based blogger, Sarah Britton of My New Roots, is on our wavelength. In fact, her cooking process is so pretty, she's begun offering some of her favorite food and ingredient snaps as prints and we're planning on filling our kitchens with them.

We're falling more in love with the process of cooking healthfully thanks to a few refreshers from Sarah of My New Roots below. These tips are amazing and prove our point that healthy eating can be beautiful, fun and gourmet too. Here's Sarah...

My journey to healthful eating has been a long one, and the most surprising and rewarding experience of my life! I grew up eating microwaved hotdogs and thinking that candy was a food group. I entered my teens overweight, with a serious acne condition and crippling PMS. It wasn’t until I started working on an organic farm that things shifted.

Within two weeks of cutting out sugar and dairy, and eating just what we were growing on the land, I became a new person: finally awake, in tune with my body and connected to the natural environment around me. I started practicing yoga every day, hiking, cooking, finding ways to occupy myself other than behind a screen - and everything changed.

That was ten years ago, but I am still learning all the time and still challenging myself to be a better version of myself every day. “Health" is a constantly moving target, as our needs change with every passing minute. Therefore, I don’t think health should be seen as an end goal, but as a process to be fully engaged with and, most importantly, to savor!

Here are some kitchen tips that I live by - they've really helped improve the healthiness of my meals, and also the simplicity!
