Updated: Jul 21, 2020

This recipe is inspired by the Nutritional dimension of wellness.


Nutritional wellness is about eating foods that are high quality and lower in calories. It’s important to eat foods that are enjoyable and healthy at the same time as it allows you to have a better relationship with food. The key to this dimension is to eat in a balanced manner without feeling deprived.


“Let's eat kale and clean our rooms!”  - No child ever

One of the most valuable lessons I’ve learned is the action step of planning and organizing my life. There are extraordinary benefits as it optimizes your use of time. Carefully creating a balanced lifestyle helps you to focus on your priorities because you’ve already reviewed them and scheduled them in. The more control you have, the more satisfaction and less stress you are likely to experience. By taking charge of your life through organization in your home, work, and relationships, you spend less time worrying that you might forget something - you may even feel more energized. No more of those nagging thoughts in the back of your mind reminding you what you need to do!


Here are some impressive facts about Kale:

  • Kale is among the most nutrient-dense foods on the planet.

  • It is loaded with powerful antioxidants like Quercetin and Kaempferol.

  • It is an excellent source of Vitamin C.

  • It can help lower cholesterol, which may reduce the risk of heart disease.

  • And this recipe is delicious!
