CREAMY TOMATO SHRIMP OVER ZOODLES

MADE OVER CHILI FRIES
Summer may mean more crisp salads and salsa-y fish tacos, but that doesn’t mean we don’t want something extra indulgent tasting in between acai bowls and plates of garden fresh Caprese. What to do when that moment strikes?
Ladies and gentlemen, may we introduce VFit Squad Chili Fries. And although they sure don’t taste the part, these are So. Nutrient. Dense. Like, you can’t tell your sig other or children, because they’ll think you’re lying.

AUTUMN HARVEST SALAD
This salad is inspired by one of Meg’s favorite healthy go-to restaurants, True Life Kitchen (BTW- if you live near one and haven’t yet tried it – it’s a must do!). Packed with seasonal veggies, pomegranate seeds, and antioxidant-filled dried mulberries, this nutrient superstar of a salad is the perfect holiday starter. Add salmon or chicken to increase the protein!
