I’m working with a nutritionist this week, and she’s having me start my days with green smoothies. I was completely revolted by the idea of drinking what (in my mind) amounted to a blended-up salad for breakfast, especially since I prefer to start my days with pop tarts, sugary cereal, etc. But I thought I’d [...]
I adapted this recipe from the August/September 2011 Clean Eating magazine. It turned out so well that it’s now going into our rotation of go-to recipes for a healthy, really delicious dinner that didn’t take much effort to make.
