Vegetable Salad or Stirfry in Minutes
I love to invent recipes that provide as much nutritional value as possible. I also love to create recipes that save me time during my busy weeks. Whether I am working from home, at the office, or studying, this mix is super high in nutrients, low in calories and takes only a few minutes to prepare!
I usually do my food prep on a sunday when I am cooking dinner. I prepare four containers for four days of the week, the fifth day is often spent going out for lunch with friends or perhaps treating myself.
