7 Healthy Jewish Recipes to Make in January

Happy new year!

After a month of feasting on fried and festive foods, many people take advantage of the new year to “reset.” Now, I don’t subscribe to the idea that any food is inherently bad, nor that we need to punish ourselves with weeks of sad salads after indulging, but sometimes too much heavy, rich or sweet food can leave us feeling sluggish. If that resonates, I’ve rounded up seven nourishing Jewish recipes that will satisfy you and fill your body with all the good stuff, so you can begin 2026 with energy and good health. And, if Veganuary or Meat-Free Mondays are your thing, there’s inspiration here, too!

From a wholesome multigrain challah to immune-boosting chicken soup; a super easy, veggie-packed kugel to meat-free stuffed cabbage, these healthy Jewish recipes will warm your soul and put a spring in your step.
