Happy Earth Day!

Last year I gave you an Earth Day challenge to eat at least one organic meal. For 2009, I challenge you to have at least one meal of all natural, whole foods today. That means eating foods that are unprocessed, unrefined, and free of added ingredients.

Here are some ideas. Try to use organic and/or local ingredients if you have access to them.

• * Salad with greens and your favorite vegetables (add some nuts, beans, or organic meat, then drizzle some olive oil, vinegar, and lemon/lime on top)
• * Brown rice or quinoa with fresh vegetables and beans
• * Oven-roasted root veggies for dinner
• * Cranberry-walnut oatmeal
  
• * TCOA salad
  

I’ve you’ve got a busy day today without much time to prepare a meal, swing through your local health food store and pick up one of their fresh prepared meals. Look for 100% natural, whole food ingredients.

Wishing you a safe and Happy Earth Day!
