I love making a warm salad with grains and roast veg. I switch out the veg based on the season. This salad disappeared!! The kids had seconds and thirds.

• Cook 1 cup quina and 1/2 cup farro

• roast broccoli, leaks, muchrooms tossedwith salt, pepper and olive oil at 400f for 15 mins

• add 1 cup of frozen green peas and 4-5 handfuls of shredded kale to the roasting pan

• Toss with the roasted veg and pop back in the oven for 4-5 mins

• Take the veg and toss with the grains

• Squeeze 1/2 a lemon over. Toss again

• Serve

This makes a great side dish or meal on its own. You can also add pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds

Veggies!!

We don't eat enough and they hold much of the vitamins and nutrients we need everyday. In this challenge I ask you to aim for 7-9 servings a day. A serving is 1 cup or 1 fist full of veggies.

I also ask you to make 1/2 your plate full of veggies. If you make 1/2 your plate full of veggies it will most likely have 3 servings. If you also aim to make your plate colourful you maximize the nutrition.

Dark green leafy veggies are key to rebalancing our gut bacteria and adding fibre to our diet. Something we are also short of ... fibre.

This week as you work through your tracker, dial in your veggies.
