January is the month I often crave a reset — not in a restrictive way, but in a ~I just ate a crazy amount of cookies and cheese and need a vegetable~ way. That’s exactly why I created this January Bucket List Challenge, featuring 8 recipes from my ebook that are designed to help you cook healthy meals that make you feel good. These recipes are some of my (and your!) favorites from the ebook, and I know you will love them too.
This challenge is about:
- Cooking food at home that fuel your body – high protein, high fiber, vegetable variety
- Feeling inspired instead of overwhelmed, and having fun in the kitchen — and winning prizes along the way
Whether you complete one recipe or all eight, every entry counts. Download the bucket list checklist here.
How the Challenge Works
I’ve selected 8 recipes from my ebook that feel perfect for January — healthy, high protein, balanced.
Your goal:
Make as many of the recipes as you’d like throughout January. There will be an extra bonus for those who complete all recipes! Each recipe you make gives you a chance to earn entries into the giveaway.
