Rest Day 2//7/13:
Here’s a great post from Alex Black of Wicked Good Nutrition on Iron and a fun recipe to get some!
One of the bigger challenges when you’re eating healthier is that you have to spend a little more time planning ahead and preparing foods. What better time than rest day to do a little cooking? Here in Boston it’s a balmy 20 degrees outside, so some southern comfort food seemed like a great idea. And, as a bonus, collard greens are a great source of nutrients including vitamins K, A, and C, folate, and fiber. You can also reach 25% of your daily needs for calcium and 12% of your daily iron needs in just one cup! A great find for anyone dealing with anemia or having trouble getting enough iron in their diet. (http://www.wickedgoodnutrition.com/get-some-iron/)
So, if you’re in the mood for something awesome, try these paleo friendly southern style collard greens. Hint: They have BACON!
