Jambalaya has never been one of my favorite meals but it was nice to try a clean version of my normal recipe. There weren’t too many changes between the two recipes I just had to be more cognoscente of the quality of ingredients I was using. This recipe is not for those of you with sensitive or bland pallets. This Jambalaya definitely packs a fiery punch but is a nice way to add a ton of flavor into your clean eating routine.
