Glow15 Recipes

My favorite Glow15 recipes are easy to make and, more important, delicious—because I believe in not only loving your food, but also loving to make your food. Each recipe is designed to follow the Glow15 plan, helping you activate your autophagy. The foods needed are all at your local grocery store. The preparation is either minimal or can be done in advance. And the practicality of being able to freeze for future use was considered. To create these recipes, I consulted with nutritionists, chefs, and home cooks just like you. With their help, I’ve also included the macronutrient breakdown (fat, protein, and carbohydrate) for each dish. I purposely left out the calorie count for each recipe because on Glow15 we don’t count calories. But we do count taste, so enjoy!
