I love ogling delicious recipes on Pinterest just as much as the next person. But I'm not kidding myself: I'm aware that many of my most "om nom"-worthy finds — from sea salt caramel truffles to sriracha fried chicken — are no health kick.
With that in mind, I sought out some of Pinterest's healthier fare. As it turns out, numerous registered dietitians (RDs) maintain a Pinterest page dedicated to many of their recipes. They feature everything from breakfast (cornbread waffles with spicy chicken, anyone?) to lunch, dinner, and snacks.
As the only health professionals qualified to assess, diagnose, and treat dietary and nutritional problems, RDs are dedicated to coming up with meal plans that are designed to nourish your body.
And their food photos are scrumptious. Take a look.
