Nourishment Notes

Wild Rice

Wild rice is a complete protein to help your body build new and healthy cells. It’s also a whole grain, helpful for protecting the heart, and full of antioxidants key to overall health.

Mushrooms

Mushrooms are loaded with B vitamins to aid in skin, nerve, and digestive health. They’re also a good source of potassium, which is key to muscle, nerve, and heart function.

Fatigue Buster

  • Lemon Juice

    Use bottled lemon juice instead of freshly squeezed. 1 lemon equals ¼ cup lemon juice.

  • Make in Advance

    Try preparing the carrot, mushrooms, and shallot 1-2 days in advance to minimize kitchen prep time.
