More than 100 delicious recipes that serve as a practical, real-life approach to reducing sugar the healthy way so you don’t feel deprived. Back in 2008, just months after the birth of her first child, Ella Leché—the voice behind the popular food blog Pure Ella—was diagnosed with myasthenia gravis, a neuromuscular autoimmune condition for which there is no medical cure. The medication she was put on wasn’t helping, and she decided to try and heal through food. She treated candida and eliminated many culprits such as processed foods, wheat, dairy, and, most important, sugar. Slowly she began to feel stronger and healthier. She found sugar was also triggering her frequent headaches, mood swings, and energy slumps. Now she is inspiring others to eat healthier and apply her approach to cut the sugar, not quit sugar entirely! This is not a sugar-detox book but an inspiring cookbook and guide to change your relationship with the foods you love and address your cravings properly. There are over 100 delicious and easy recipes for breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, and yes, even dessert! The emphasis is on real, nutrient-dense whole foods—all presented deliciously and beautifully photographed by Ella herself and written in her encouraging, upbeat, grounded voice. Recipes include both fan favorites as well as many all-new offerings, including: Millet-Apple Breakfast Cake Creamy Avocado-Cucumber Rolls Chocolate-Dipped Almond & Cacao Nib Biscotti Raw Berry Swirl Cheesecake Healthy Three-Ingredient Chocolate Pudding
