Whole30 Survival Guide: Final Frontier
Eat well, move daily, laugh often, sleep lots and love your body. Repeat for life.
Is it really that simple? Maybe. At least it feels a heckuva lot simpler on Day 21 of Whole30. Scientists are still arguing whether 21 days is truly the magic number for forming a good habit, but I’m starting to believe in the magic. Meal prep is the norm, I’ve got a roster of MVF’s (most valuable foods) to save the day and the sugar dragons seem to be hibernating for the winter. Sure, I’m still looking forward to tacos in Mexico in 2 weeks, but I’m also not agonizing over my every meal. Hopefully you’re feeling those good habit vibes, but if you’re still looking for some recipes to shake up the last nine days and tips to surviving social outings, you’ve come to the right place! Read on for the dEATs.

Life {and Food} in Technicolor
Sometimes all Monday needs is a splash of color. This Thai Rainbow Quinoa Bowl was just the spritz of color I needed to put an extra pep in my step for the last working Monday of the year! Let that sink in for a second. Last Monday in the office. Now go ahead and give into that mental “raise the roof”. You know you wanna. In this week’s meal prep, a bed of quinoa gets a burst of color from rainbow carrots, red cabbage, curly kale and spring peas, plus a snap of satay-inspired flavor with a creamy peanut sauce. Get the lowdown on why eating the rainbow matters and sashay to that recipe below.

Delicata-licious
I’m gaga for gourds, so it’s another delicata-licous day in the neighborhood. This week’s meal prep is a DELICATA KALE SALAD with TRI-COLOR QUINOA, ROASTED CHICKPEAS, POMEGRANATE SEEDS and GOAT CHEESE. I’m a huge fan of cook once, eat twice, so this week’s blog is a double header! Not only does delicata delight this salad, but it also makes for an easy Whole30-approved breakfast as DELICATA EGG SLIDERS. Find the dEATs on both, below!
