Nutrition

GRIP Veggie Challenge The results of our veggie challenge were amazing. 1508 cups of veggies were consumed during the two week challenge.”Nutrient density and the quality of your food determines the quality of your health”Mark Hyman Pegan DietGood Eats…a few things to tryA few years ago Mitch and I came up with umteen coleslaw recipes. Coleslaw is cold and crunchy, such a switch from most veggie dishes. At the end of our coleslaw spree Mitch’s Damn Good Coleslaw took the prize. You can find it on our recipe page. Well, I think this Autumn Cabbage Salad is a close second place or maybe first place to Mitch’s recipe. It has numerous textures and flavors featuring roasted sweet potatoes, carrots , bell peppers and pecans mixed with a citrus dressing. It lasts quite a few days so make a big batch! Next up is the famous 21DSD Spaghetti Squash Bolognese. This recipe is a GRIP favorite and perfect for the colder evenings. Sub out the ground pork for chorizo for a little added zip. Lastly, the Crockpot Jerk Chicken is very tender and oh so flavorful. Super simple to make and can be used in so many ways…chicken with a veg, topped with pico and served over cauliflower rice in a bowl or used for tacos. All of the recipes are meal prep ready. Give them a try!Autumn Cabbage Salad Spaghetti Squash Bolognese Crock Pot Jerk Chicken
