Vegetables, one the most nutrient-dense food groups, fueling our bodies with a plethora of vitamins and minerals at low calories. Allow no limit on these friendly foods and trial some of the creative ways to get them in your diet.

Breakfast:

Omelettes stuffed with spinach and mushrooms! Best way to greet the day.

I put my drippy eggs over a bowl of sauteed kale with a 1/2 a sweet potato.

Always keep cooked squash and fresh spinach in fridge. Warm up diced squash in pan throw spinach on top and crack some eggs on top. Voila yum

Veggies and eggs. SIMPLE! We cut up a bunch of stuff… mushrooms, red pepper, red onion, zucchini, spinach… and have it in a tupperware so there is no excuse in the mornings. Everything is chopped and ready to go! Sautee and scramble some eggs in with it. Ta da!

I make a green monster…kale,apple,banana,celery,almonds,cukes and coconut oil.Blend with filtered water and I my skin loves me for this.

Zucchini or sweet potato pancakes!

Homemade pico de gallo salsa…diced ripe tomato, diced jalapeño (de-seeded if you don’t like it spicy), diced onion, tons of cilantro, and tons of lime juice and salt to taste…make it the night before and in the morning you have a delicious way to jazz up your morning meal! I also roast off a squash and have that on the side along with a diced avocado – makes for a beautiful plate in the morning and a great way to wake up!! I had this today, in fact…with sunnyside up eggs and homemade beef chorizo…heaven!

Lunch:

veggies sautéed in coconut oil, raw, shredded cabbage, broccoli slaw for noodle replacement, big salads with spinach as a base
