1. Minimalist Baker

An oldie but such a goodie, the well-known Minimalist Baker is one of the best healthy food sites for wholesome, simple recipes that, as the title suggests – require minimal ingredients.

The site’s a breath of fresh air compared to so many healthy food blogs that require long lists of niche, pricy or hard-to-find ingredients. All their recipes are either one-bowl, require thirty minutes or less, or call for ten ingredients or fewer.

Recipes on Minimalist Baker are largely plant-centered but not entirely. They’re sorted by vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, sugar-free and other dietary styles. And it’s not just baked goods! Find everything from breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, desserts and more.
