Welcome!
I’m Mindy
wellness writer, recipe developer & food blogger
Hey there, nice to meet you! I’m Mindy Palmer, the creator of Clean Tastes Better. I’m a former teacher turned wellness writer with a passion for healthy living.
Here you’ll find delicious recipes that make eating clean easy and fun. My goal is to create a healthy recipe hub where everyone can find something tasty to eat, no matter what your dietary restrictions are!
I live in Austin, TX with my partner Gabriel, who’s also my loyal recipe tester and hand model (if you see man hands in pics, that’s him!). When I’m not cooking (or eating), I love having outdoor adventures.
Food is the ultimate act of self-love. Each meal is a chance to nourish yourself.
Behind the blog
How it all started
My intro into healthy eating started two decades ago, as a way to navigate my own health struggles. At the time, my body was a hot mess – and conventional medicine was little help. My gut told me changing my diet might be worth trying. (Spoiler: it was!)
Back then, I ate a pretty typical American diet and my cooking skills consisted of scrambled eggs and spaghetti. I had a lot to learn! Food blogs quickly became my teachers.
Somewhere along the way, I fell in love with nutrition. I even went back to school and got my holistic health coaching certification from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition.
Early on, I learned my body didn’t do well with gluten. I’ve also gone through my fair share of other foods sensitivities, so if you’re on a limited diet – I feel you!
I truly believe that when you nourish your body with fresh, healthy food – it not only tastes better, you FEEL better. On this site, you’ll find delicious recipes to help you do just that!
Every recipe on my site is gluten free, and many are dairy-free, Paleo, vegan, or Whole30. If you ever have any recipe requests, shoot me a message!
