More Fall Veggies

Variety is the spice of life.

That is what they say.
Looking for some variety for your palate this fall then head to the store and conduct a search and destroy mission...well destroy meaning bring it on home and prepare to feast.

Sweet Potatos
Have I told you how much I adore these precious little goodies?
For 130 calories you get a whopping 200% dosage of your daily vitamin C plus powerful antioxidants, great anti-inflammatory babies!












Artichokes
A nutrient dense veggie packed with fiber, vitamin C, folate, magnesium, calcium, potassium and phosphorus...all in only 60 calories per serving.











Beets and Carrots
Beets are a powerhouse with only 35 calories: Vitamin C, iron, beta carotene and then some!
Carrots are, well, what your mother told you to eat: One large carrot contains 30 calories with a dose of vitamin A, B6, C and Niacin. Yummy and good for your eyes!











Finally! Collard Greens
What on earth? Deeee-lish leafy green, low in cals but high in nutrients: 1 cup provides 5 gm of fiber, 300% vitamin A, plenty of thiamin, potassium and riboflavin. 












So what are you waiting for? ... Go get 'em while they are hot!

Be well.
