While doing the 'Eat Less Meat' challenge I made tacos made with refried beans instead of hamburger or chicken. They were delicious!
Beans are a great source of protein. Just replace meat with beans! Beans are healthy and taste good.

Freekah is a form of whole wheat, but it's picked when still young and then roasted. It was the base of this delicious salad.

I crave sugar all the time especially in the afternoon. This craving can only be stopped with chocolate. Suggest an alternative

darkchocolatepeanutbutter Don't forget the pepper since it activates the curcumin in the turmeric! Also cinnamon slows down the release of sugar into the bloodstream but who cares if it's a milkshake, right? 😏

lauren Wow I'm so intrigued! Looks delish!

DietID_TeamDietitians oh man turmeric milk. This sounds slightly more appetizing than what I was forced to drink as a kid when I was sick. I would try to fake being healthy just to avoid drinking it - and now's it's...
