Some Tips

  • Healthy food needs to be delicious: You cannot sustain a healthy diet if you feel deprived.
  • Veggies can completely sustain your nutritional requirements: Keep in mind the 6 requirements for a complete diet- seed, roots, sprout, leaves, fruit, and unpolished rice/whole grain; do not overcook your veggies.
  • Create and innovate: discover what to mix and match. Remember, what you can do with meat, you can do with beans and or mushrooms
  • A little foresight goes a long way: Stock freezer with different types of beans, you don’t have to cook rice every meal, pre-cut and pre-prepare different veggies 2-3 times per week
  • Be a conscious organic consumer: Grow them, network with social enterprises, choose local and indigenous varities, soak veggies of unknown origin in diluted 5% vinegar solution for 20 minutes before storing (2 tablespoons vinegar for every pail of water)

I hope you’ll try this one :)
