Veggie Mix
I’m loving the indiansummer weather this fall, but I also look forward to alllll the delicious and nutritious winter vegetables coming into season. Brussels Sprouts are low in calories, high in fiber and filled with Vitamins C,K, folate, potassium, iron, and calcium. Butternut squash is also high in potassium and fiber. It’s a super source of Vitamin A, which makes it great for eyesight and your skin. It’s Vitamin C and antioxidants are also great for skin and immunity. The quinoa is high in protein and fiber. The walnuts are high in Omega 3…..and this does not even cover all of the benefits of this meal. Just know that this is beyond delicious and SO good for you. Enjoy and let me know what you think!!!!l
