As much as I love cooking, it can get a little old. I have a rotation of five to seven go-to recipes that I use over and over again. It's not that I don't like trying new food or testing out new preparation methods, but it's just so easy to shop for and prepare the recipes I know best.

But in an effort to make my at-home cooking more exciting and save money by dining in, I've been experimenting with new recipes. I've also been looking for healthier recipes packed with nutritious ingredients because I've been feeling sluggish recently and want to have more energy.

I've done a little bit of digging around to find the best healthy cookbooks to add to my wish list, and I've decided to share a few of my findings with you. I'm talking about cookbooks that feature whole foods and good-for-you ingredients, and while there are a few cookbooks on this list that adhere to certain diet plans (like keto or Whole30), most of them just feature recipes that I think are interesting and packed with nutritious deliciousness. 

Take a look at some of the best healthy cookbooks below. And if I missed one of your favorites, send me a DM at @thethirty.
