Integrative Nutrition Recipes

By Lauren Imparato

RETOX is about simple recipes that are good for you, and are surprisingly easy and quick to make. No fake goodness here – just straight up nourishment, #RETOX style!

I came up with this recipe while looking at all of the ingredients in my kitchen. I decided to compile them together, which took about 5 minutes, and voila! Try this as a main course for lunch or dinner, maybe even breakfast (gasp!), a snack or side. The proteins, essential fats, and iron will keep you going throughout the day and feeling great inside and out.
