The 14 Most Popular Healthy Recipes on Pinterest in 2017
2017 was another big one for healthy eating. Trendy foods like turmeric and aquafaba (aka chickpea juice) got a ton of attention. A bunch of delicious, healthy cookbooks were released, including one all about slow-cooking! We launched SELFstarter, a members-only site with amazing, dietitian-approved meal plans and even more amazing recipes written by our editors (#humblebrag). And, of course, healthy Pinterest recipes reigned supreme.
This year, Pinterest users were especially loving avocado goodies, sheet-pan dinners, breakfast egg muffins, meal prep snack boxes and more—basically all of our favorite things. These 14 recipes were some of the most-pinned recipes of the entire year, and it’s pretty easy to see why. In this selection, you’ll find options for breakfast, lunch, dinner and everything in between. They’re delicious, easy-to-make, and perfect for pinning. Save them for 2018 if you don’t already have them bookmarked.
