25 Healthy 3-Ingredient Recipes

Over the years of creating and cooking for the Chelsey Amer Nutrition blog (formerly CitNutritionally.com), I’ve learned that there’s no such thing as a recipe that’s too simple! So today, I’m sharing 25 Healthy 3-Ingredient Recipes from fellow food blogging dietitians!

We’re currently in Hawaii for our honeymoon (yayyy!!), so I’m definitely not cooking right now! However, I wanted to make sure you guys still have plenty of new recipes to keep you happy and full!

Since there’s no such thing as a recipe that’s too simple, I enlisted some help to share the EASIEST recipes you’ve ever seen. They all have 3 ingredients (or LESS!)…

When I first started blogging, I was in grad school and had much more time to devote to cooking and testing recipes. But the busier I’ve gotten over the years, the more I cherish easy recipes made with just a handful of ingredients.

Plus, since I started counseling clients, I realize it’s the simple recipes that they like better too! Because what’s better than nourishing and healthy 3-ingredient recipes?

So I enlisted help from some of my fellow food blogging dietitians to share 25 other delicious and nutritious 3-ingredient recipes…

I threw in some of my personal favorites as well, like my 3-Ingredient Baked Frittata that I make into muffins nearly every week.

Some aren’t even formal recipes, but just a combination of ingredients you can use to create a deliciously nutritious meal or snack.

Here are 25 Healthy 3-Ingredient Recipes you need to try…
