Last night I taught an awesome workshop at U of T. The topic was Eating for Energy: Smart Starts to Fantastic Finishes. And the menu I created showcased how easy it is to eat delicious and nutritious meals all day long! The key is knowing what foods to eat –which ones rev you up and which ones drag you down. Miso is one of my most favourite “get-up-and-go” foods. I use it in everything, from soups to rice bowls, fish dishes to tofu tosses! And a quick Cup o Miso is one of the best ways to refuel and energize at lunchtime. Enjoy and happy weekend!
