Around 3pm, without fail, I get the craving to munch on something, anything! So I keep my fridge stocked with a bulk container of mixed raw veggies — cherry tomatoes, bell peppers, baby carrots, cucumbers and celery — that I can easily pull from either on my way to work or to stave off my pre-dinner hunger pangs. Non-starchy veggies provide filling fiber and serious crunch with minimal calories and countless benefits. Eat as much as you want!
Not a fan of raw veggies? I also love to fill a big sheet pan with mixed vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, asparagus and tri-colored carrots. Lightly coat the veggies with avocado oil, sprinkle with sea salt & black pepper, and roast at 400 for about 30-40 mins. So good! They even taste delicious cold.
Note: I added a sweet potato to this mix for a touch of sweetness — not considered non-starchy, but packed with nutrition!
