Veggie Crack
A client mentioned this to me. She said it’s addicting… hence the name! Let’s give it a try!
Remember, portion control is key. I think if you took 1/2 cup it could be a great snack incorporating great fat (avocado) and protein (beans). Try throwing it on top of some grilled chicken or shrimp to add more protein!
