This website is excellent. It has a mixture of healthy and non-healthy recipes.





It's updated regularly and other users rate recipes, which really helps when choosing new recipes to make.





When searching for new recipes you can modify your search by various factors such as low fat/calories/type of meal etc.





Have a look - it's great!Are there any websites that have a list of healthy recipes?
Prevention.com has a bunch of great healthy recipes. They give the nutritional information too. And they usually add some extra info about the ingredients. Here's a couple I've gotten from there that I really like~

Veggie Tuna Snack Wraps

Ingredients:


2 broccoli florets


1 can (6 ounces) reduced-sodium, chunk light tuna in water, drained


1 tablespoon finely-chopped red bell pepper


1 tablespoon finely-chopped yellow bell pepper


1 tablespoon finely-chopped green bell pepper


1 tablespoon finely-chopped red onion


1 tablespoon light red wine vinaigrette


1 tablespoon spicy brown mustard, or to taste


2 whole wheat flour, low-carb tortillas (7 1/2';diameter)


1/2 cup loosely-packed fresh spinach leaves





To Prepare:


In a small saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil over high heat. Add the broccoli. Cook broccoli for 1 minute, or until crisp-tender. Drain and rinse under cold water to cool completely. Pat dry. Chop finely. Transfer to a medium bowl. Add the tuna, bell peppers, onion, and broccoli. Toss to mix. Add the vinaigrette and 1 tablespoon of mustard. Toss to mix well. Taste and add more mustard, if desired.

Starting at the filled side, roll the tortilla tightly into a tube. Repeat with the remaining tortilla and tuna mixture. Serve immediately.
