Let’s Give Beet Greens Some Love

by Heather
Beet-Greens-Heather-Habelka

I LOVE watching The Kitchen on Food Network! #ICAG (If you know, you know!)

A recent episode focused on reducing food waste by cooking all parts of the vegetable.

For example, I now peel and chop broccoli stems and steam, roast, or sauté them with the florets.

They are crunchy, nutritious, and most importantly delicious!

Now that beets are in season, I decided to give the greens a try.

I’ll admit I was skeptical. To me, they don’t look all that appealing especially with their dirt coating!

But I decided to trust my fellow food bloggers and keep an open mind.

They did not steer me wrong!

Focus on Your Bio-individuality:

“It was great to have a catered approach to my own health and wellness. I loved when you sent recipes and we discussed articles! I feel much more aware of what I am consuming and ways to support my hormone health beyond food. It is so easy to read about everyone else’s approach, but to focus on my own journey has been very helpful.” – Jacquelyn, Client

Set Your Goals & Your Pace:

“I’ve tried different nutritionists and diets, and nothing worked. However, after a three-month journey with Heather, I have much healthier eating habits and feel better about myself! I felt so comfortable with Heather, there was no judgment or pressure – we worked at my pace and the more we worked together the more I was inspired to be better. She’s been a gift!” – Lauren, Client

Create Your Wellness Vision:

“I worked with Heather as my health coach for three months. She helped me set a realistic wellness vision and sound, customized strategies which we adjusted as I encountered food sensitivities. She was skillful at helping me resolve my issues. I especially appreciate Heather’s warm and caring manner and her incredible knowledge of nutrition and health.” – Jane, Client
