annefood 7yr Smart way to prepare @garv! My husband and I are doing the Eat Real Food Challenge together right now. It's not easy, but it's such a great way to call our attention to everything we're eating that isn't pure nutritious good food fuel! We already eat quite well, but the little bits here and there sneak up on ya!

Forget 50% - my plate was filled 100% with veggies today at lunch!
Fiber helps me stay full and prevents my sugar cravings.
My favorite lunch these days fills half my plate with veggies. Plus protein and fiber help prevent my sugar cravings. And it's DELICIOUS 😋
Recipes for the sweet potato fries and fennel roasted garbanzo beans are on the Anne food blog, plus wild brown rice and steamed local organic asparagus with olive oil and sea salt.
I had one lunch option on the road today- mediocre Mexican fast food. So I did the best I could and got a veg bowl with beans and lettuce.
Not the most delicious lunch, but at least it was pretty darn nutritious given the circumstance!
