ANYTIME FAST FOOD FANTASTIC!

Today I visited the Cambridge Farmers Market (just around the corner from my office at 19 Thorne Street) and met up with Jack, the owner of Romagnoli Farms  http://romagnolifarms.com.  With such an assortment of amazing fresh fruit, I paused to decide -- what shall I select, and how much can I carry?

I asked Jack if the strawberries were sweet, and he offered me some samples – something you can’t do in the big grocery stores.  The solution was simple – get them all!  They were fresh, delicious and amazing.  These delightful berries are packed with essential micronutrients, antioxidants, and fibre and are wonderfully fresh.  All the more reason to buy local!  Remember, farmers feed cities.

A short time later, the digestive juices were starting to churn and I got inspired to make this healthy, nutritious meal – something you can eat any time – breakfast, lunch or dinner!  Here’s the simple recipe.

ANYTIME FAST FOOD FANTASTIC

Prep time – under 5 minutes.

Ingredients:

2 handfuls or cups of fresh mixed greens

½ cup Jack’s fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries & raspberries)

½ cup low-fat cottage cheese

Sprinkled with crumbled walnuts, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds & 2 tsp. wheat germ

Dressing – totally unnecessary!

Calories:  Who counts?

TIP:  Fill a mason jar with the above ingredients to have a healthy, nutritious meal at work.  Start with the cottage cheese first, add the fruit, stack on the mixed greens, add your sprinkles.  When you are ready to eat, it’s easy to transfer it to a plate.  Tuck in and enjoy!  You will be completed satiated.
