Hungry and need ideas?

To perform optimally — whether you’re an athletic teen, cardiac patient or a ‘Beyond Boomer’ (senior over 65)  — you need good fuel. Here are some of my favorite recipes that can help you in your health, fitness and weight loss goals. They’re easy to prepare as well as heart healthy, low in added sugar, and nutrient/antioxidant dense. No chemical colorants, flavorings or sweeteners.
