Green Meal Challenge!

Green veggies are packed with nutrition! Let's see how many we can cram into one meal. I think it's important to eat any and all fruits and vegetables you can get your hands on, but I find that people are scared of green vegetables for some reason? I'll admit, I wasn't always a believer...but after you find the appropriate ways to cook them, they can be really delicious.

This is just one example, let me know what other things you come up with!!

Yummm. :)


Lunch for one:
Baby Bok Choy (4)
Mushrooms (3)
Garlic powder
1/2Tbsp Nutritional Yeast (for a 'cheesy' flavor)
Black Pepper
Crushed Red Pepper

Add the white portions of the bok choy and the mushrooms and seasonings to the pan with about 1/4 cup of water (no oil, mushrooms produce their own oil!) let sautee until soft, remove from heat and add the bok choy leaves and stir.

Serve warm (makes one serving!)



Avocado Kale Butter Bean Hummus:
1 large avocado
1 Can Butter Beans, drained
1 Kale Leaf, chopped
1/4 Cup Water (or more if you like smoother hummus)
Garlic Powder (to taste)
Black Pepper (to taste)
Crushed Red Pepper (to taste)
Celery, or other vegetables for dipping

Blend everything in a food processor, serve with veggies.
