Red and yellow bell peppers: choose these variations for the highest doses of Vitamin C. They also provides a few grams of fiber and notable levels of Vitamin B6

Notes from Kat:


This recipe mostly consists of a lot of chopping and prepping. Feel free to meal prep ingredients ahead of time for an easy weeknight dinner, or use frozen vegetables to save on prep time and money- just be sure to adjust your cooking time. 


Tailor the recipe to suit your taste, or local farmer’s markets current offerings. Carrots and cabbage are two other great veggies to include. Try adding different peppers and mushrooms to play with spice, taste, and texture too! Chilis can add some spice, while shredded oyster mushrooms have a pulled meat-like effect. 


Serve as is for a lighter lunch or when your body is craving a big batch of vegetables. You can round this out with your added protein of choice, like tofu or chicken, and serve it over your favorite grain or grain alternative, like brown rice.


While this nutrient-packed meal closes out National Nutrition Month, you’ll find us in the kitchen all year long serving you healthy and easy recipes to take care of your skin from the inside out.

See you next time!
