Spring flowers have begun blooming and the temperatures are getting a tad bit warmer, which means summer is sneaking around the corner! Along with the sunshine and pool time comes the dreaded “bathing suit season” and the urge to perhaps eat a bit lighter.

With the right tools, it can be delicious and satisfying to eat a little healthier and cleaner. If you’re looking to shape up a bit before hitting the beach or laying out by the pool, skip the diets and self-loathing and have some fun making these recipes instead. Here are 10 clean food meal ideas to get you in shape for summer:

1. Raw Vegan Veggie Stuffed Collard Wrap

This hearty meal will help fill you up, since the lentils contain protein and are very satiating for a vegan diet.
