Good health begins with what you put in your body. When you eat better, you feel better. Itand#8217;s that simple.A few short years ago, Elizabeth Stein could be found in her tiny Manhattan kitchen searching for a way to make gluten-free and vegan products that tasted great and werenand#8217;t overly processed. Working with ingredients such as chia seeds, flax, hemp, and coconut sugar, Elizabeth successfully developed recipes that were all-natural, non-GMO, gluten-free, and diabetes friendly. These recipes helped her form Purely Elizabeth, an award-winning line of products that can be found in more than 1,500 stores.
Eating Purely is a collection of Elizabethand#8217;s favorite recipes, which she has made for family, clients, and friends over the years. The recipes are healthy, easy, and deliciousand#151;and at times even indulgent. Eating Purely is focused on cooking with whole foods that are naturally gluten-free, nutrient rich, free of refined sugar, and mostly vegetable based.

Eat Whole, Clean Foods
Focus on Plants
Add in Nutrient-Rich Ingredients

and Practice the 80/20 Rule.
Eating Purely includes more than one hundred fun and approachable recipes, ranging from brunch and salads to vegetarian mains and seasonal menus to celebrate with family and friends.
