Big list of Daily Dozen meals
Here’s three vegetarian meals I made the following recipes which are demonstrated in the video below:
- Breakfast: 8-Minute Potato Vegetable Hash
- Lunch: Veggie Burger Salad
- Dinner: Super Veggie Fried Rice
The only Daily Dozen items not included in these three meals are snacks including:
- Flaxseeds
- Fruit
- Nuts
- Berries
Here’s my suggestions for incorporating these remaining foods into the day:
- Sprinkle a little turmeric on the potato hash to get that in as well.
- I enjoy turmeric powder in my morning hot cacao beverage.
- I snack on fruits, berries, nuts and seeds.
Groceries
I like to shop at farmer’s market for most of my produce because it oftentimes cheaper and more convenient. Here’s a video sharing the produce I purchased at my local farmer’s market to prepare these healthy vegetarian meals:
