Acknowledgments As always, a special thank you to the dream team book crew at Robert Kennedy Publishing for making yet another Eat-Clean title come to fruition. There were many ups and downs, but your contributions, edits, designs, and promotions make this book what it is today a beautiful, consistent, clean read with a powerful message. I couldnt have done this without you.

Thank you also to Kierstin Buchner for developing the most delectable and unique recipes. I am so happy to have found you and your amazing culinary skills in Portland, Oregon. My books are definitely benefiting from your talents. Thank you to food photographer extraordinaire, Donna Griffith, and talented food stylist, Claire Stubbs. You two are a foody dream duo who make these mouthwateringly delicious recipes jump right off the page and onto the dinner table. Finally, thank you to my support system at home and around the world.

My family, friends and fans motivate me to spread the message of Eating Clean as far as it can go and beyond. Thank you for your guidance, encouragement and love, which lifts me up and reminds me every day why I do what I do. Contents When I wrote my first cookbook in 2007 I had no idea what a phenomenon The Eat-Clean Diet series would become. Sure, the original Eat-Clean Diet book had been selling well and people were asking for recipes thats what inspired me to write a cookbook. Little did I know that over four years later, my books would have sold well over a million copies, and many millions of lives would have been transformed by the concept of Eating Clean. That first cookbook shot to number one on the best-selling cookbook chart its very first week and has been in continuous reprint ever since.

In fact, in at least one country its the top-selling cookbook of the past four years! I am incredibly honored that so many people have put their faith in my words and allowed me into their kitchens. For years now my readers have been begging me for more recipes. In response, Im thrilled to finally offer you this: The Eat-Clean Diet Cookbook 2. Food has always been important to me. Before my transformation at the age of 40, I was a typical Martha Stewart mom. The food I offered my family was made with love (and, looking back, too much fat!).

My love for sharing food has not changed. Great food is one of lifes pleasures, and there is no reason to stop enjoying food or eat food that tastes bad just because youve chosen a healthier way of life. In fact, fresh, in-season Clean food in its most natural state is the best-tasting food you can eat. I enjoy experimenting with aromatic spices, subtle herbs and magical combinations of flavors. I learn which foods offer the most nutrition, the highest levels of antioxidants and the most immune-boosting strength, and then I create delicious meals from them. The Eat-Clean Diet Cookbook 2 contains all-new recipes to suit all tastes and lifestyles.

Try the Smoked Salmon Asparagus Bundles for brunch or the Quinoa and Black Bean Lunch Bowl for a refreshing lunch outside the sandwich. Try the Peach and Heirloom Tomato Salad the next time you have guests for dinner or the BBQ Pork Ribs while watching the game. Nothing is better than seeing my friends and family eat a satisfying meal that I know will keep them healthy, strong and lean. I know I am not just feeding their stomachs, but Im also providing them with the very best foundation for a healthy, active, long life. When I see them dig in, with smiles on their faces and enjoyment on their tongues, I look around and say: Life is good. Sincerely, Servings: 12 x cup Prep time: 10 minutes Cooking time: 75-90 minutes Granola is usually thought of as a health food, but typical granola is high in fat, salt, sugar and calories.

My version contains unsweetened coconut and dried fruits (they are still sweet, trust me!), natural honey and just a hint of sugar to imitate that sweet, crunchy taste we all know and love. INGREDIENTS 3 cups / 720 ml old-fashioned rolled oats 1 cup / 240 ml roughly chopped unsalted almonds cup / 60 ml roughly chopped unsalted cashews cup / 60 ml raw pumpkin seeds (pepitas) cup / 60 ml raw sunflower seed kernels 2 Tbsp / 30 ml flaxseed cup / 60 ml unsweetened coconut flakes 1 heaping Tbsp / 15 ml natural brown sugar cup / 60 ml honey cup / 60 ml raw coconut butter or oil, melted 1 tsp / 5 ml real vanilla tsp / 1.25 ml sea salt 1 cup / 240 ml of your favorite unsweetened dried fruit , such as raisins, currants, cranberries, cherries or blueberries METHOD Preheat oven to 250F / 120C. In a large bowl, mix together oats, nuts and seeds, coconut and brown sugar. In a small bowl, combine honey, coconut butter, vanilla and salt. Combine the two mixtures and spread out onto two baking sheets. Bake in the oven 75 to 90 minutes, stirring two or three times so granola browns evenly.
