Nourishment Notes

Edamame

Edamame are soy beans that are rich in both protein and fiber. This combination will have you feeling full longer. The high fiber content also promotes regularity.

Mandarin Oranges

Mandarin oranges are high in vitamin C which may support immune health.

Fatigue Buster

  • Ginger

    Use pre-grated or minced ginger.

  • Coleslaw

    Purchase pre-packaged coleslaw mix (without dressing) instead of chopping cabbage.

  • Edamame

    Make sure to purchase the pre-shelled edamame to avoid removing soy beans from shells.
