Having trouble getting in greens or just veggies in general? This is just one of my favorite ways. Whether cubbed, shredded or whole, adding lots of veggies to them is an easy way to enjoy and get a healthy dose of fiber, vitamins, antioxidants, energy, minerals and not forgetting satiety to a meal.
What I did:
First I started with a bag of cubed frozen potatoes. (Potato being the sole ingredient) Potato are a complex carb which provides long lasting energy. Starch provide satiety for us plant eaters. It’s a good source of fiber, antioxidants, vitamins and mineral. I laid them out on parchment paper on a cooking sheet and cooked in a preheated over of 425 for 20-30 minutes.
While potatoes cook, I sauteed white onions, garlic, bag of frozen shiitake sliced mushrooms, which are low calorie, low fat, high in fiber and plant protein, a natural anti microbial and also contains Lentinan which is used in cancer therapies. And one of the only foods which is a good source of natural Vitamin D. Added a bag of frozen sliced bell peppers bag which are a great source of Vit C, antioxidants, low calorie and again high in fiber. Along with that I added spinach and the greens from my beet roots. They promote heart health, high in fiber and are anti inflammatory. Sautéed until veggies were tender. When potatoes were done, I added to the veggies and tossed them together. I drizzled left over plain unsweetened yogurt sauce from last nights dinner over it. Can you say YUMMMMM
My pot yielded 3 bowls full and it came in at 267.5 calories, 13.7g of FIBER, 11.5g PROTEIN, and only 1.6g fat. A perfect meal to fuel you thru the day without hurting the waist line. Or leaving you hungry all day.
