Hello and Welcome!

We’re Shawna and Ella, the dynamic mother-daughter duo behind Healthy Foodie Girl, where delicious meets healthy in every bite! Here at Healthy Foodie Girl, we have easy, delicious, healthy recipes and tips that we know you’re going to love!

Our dishes are simple to make, full of vibrant flavors, and perfect for anyone who loves great food without the fuss. Whether you’re new to cooking or a seasoned pro, we’ve created a space where healthy eating is always exciting and enjoyable!

Our Story

I’ve always been passionate about food and creating healthy recipes. This enthusiasm sparked countless conversations about cooking and healthy eating, with people frequently seeking my advice on how to prepare different ingredients or what to make with them. Sharing my love for food has become a natural and fulfilling part of my life.

I knew I wanted to start a food blog, but it wasn’t until Ella said, “Mom, think of all the people you could help,” that Healthy Foodie Girl was truly born. In that moment, I realized that my passion for food could become something bigger – a way to inspire and support others on their own healthy eating journeys.

What started as a solo endeavor soon blossomed into something even more incredible when I discovered that Ella’s passion for cooking was just as strong as mine. We began working together, and now Healthy Foodie Girl is a true mother-daughter venture. Sharing this experience with my daughter has been the most amazing journey. Cooking together has always been a special part of our lives, but now, being able to connect with so many others through our blog and YouTube channel has made it even more meaningful.

All Recipes Are WW Friendly

Our recipes are ideal for anyone following WW. Most of them are low in points, and we’ve included the point values on each recipe for easy tracking. You can effortlessly track your meals with the link provided in the notes section of each recipe card, seamlessly integrating with the WW app. As a lifetime WW member, I truly appreciate the flexibility it offers. It allows me to indulge in my favorite treats, like wine, cheese, and baguettes, while staying on track. My philosophy is that food is all about balance and moderation, so WW works perfectly for me.

Culinary Passion & Expertise

My passion for food extends far beyond the kitchen. I’ve had the privilege of working behind the scenes with the Food Network and collaborating with renowned photographers and set designers. These experiences have profoundly shaped my approach to developing recipes and food photography at Healthy Foodie Girl, ensuring that each dish is as visually stunning as it is delicious.

Culinary Adventures Around The World

Travel and food are at the heart of our passions, and we love merging the two. My global culinary adventures, from cooking classes in Italy to exploring diverse food destinations have continually fueled my creativity. I bring these inspiring experiences back to Healthy Foodie Girl, using them as a foundation to develop fresh new healthy recipes.
