CARNE ASADA BOWL
Everything seems to taste better when in its in a bowl these days. This delicious meal in a bowl has fresh flavors with no lack of nutrients. This recipe is adapted slightly from Against All Grain cookbook
BUTTERNUT SQUASH TACOS
This is a great option for Meatless Monday (or Taco Tuesday) or any day really! We love the rich and creamy taste of butternut squash. Packed full of nutrients, this meal is a very quick and healthy spin on Mexican food.
BLACK BEAN STUFFED PEPPERS
We love this meal because it is easy to prepare, presents well and tastes delicious. It is easy to prep ahead of time and bake after a busy day of work. It's also packed with nutrients and a perfect way to use up some bell peppers!
CREAMED SPINACH
Creamed spinach is one of those ultimate comfort foods. Perfect for a cool evening, or if you are in need of some warm, nourishing veggies. We've created a tasty spin on this comfort food classic that forgoes the actual heavy cream and tons of cheese, for sour cream instead. The end result is a nutrient dense power house side dish that will make you feel comforted AND satisfied by meal's end.
CROCK POT WHOLE CHICKEN
This is a wonderful way to cook a whole chicken and have it easily ready for salads, tacos or anything else you may need for the week. The chicken falls off of the bone and you can use the leftover bones to make our Immune Boosting Broth. Recipe was adapted from 100 days of Real Food with a few spice additions. You can add any flavor you like to this dish. No liquid is needed in the slow cooker since the chicken will release plenty as it cooks.
CHICKEN AND POTATO HASH WITH FRIED EGG
This breakfast comfort food that looks like work but is a fairly simple recipe to assemble- the only real work is in the chopping. This is a great one to make when you’ve got leftover rotisserie chicken from the night before, and if you chop double the vegetables, this can be remade in minutes the next morning. Peppers, potatoes, and onions are your Nutrient Superstars here, and chicken and eggs give you a serious boost of protein.

BREAKFAST TACOS
We all love breakfast food and we all love Mexican food, right? Well, this dish combines the joys of both with tasty breakfast tacos. Kick boring scrambled eggs to side, bring on the tacos and a little hot sauce and your breakfast just got mucho caliente! Adding avocado helps bring some healthy fat and ensure these tacos help fuel you through the morning.
INDIAN SPICED SLOW COOKER LENTILS
Your home will smell exotic and take you to a faraway land while these slow cooker lentils simmer in your crockpot. Pop all the main ingredients in in the morning, cook low and slow, then by dinner it's time to enjoy this iron rich, protein filled dish!

This is a great staple to have on hand to keep your immunity high. Bone broth provides vital minerals and nutrients. Use as a soup base, or enjoy a cup a day to keep you healthy and feeling great!! This recipe is great to use up leftover bones after roasting a chicken.
LOADED VEGGIE SPAGHETTI SQUASH PASTA BAKE
We want to keep this description short, because, well that picture says it all and we know you want to get right to cooking this specialty recipe! This is a top 10 fan favorite and has become a staple in many VFit Squad members homes. This is also a great way to use up any veggies you have on hand that are about to go bad, so think outside of the box on what to add in if you need to. This also makes for excellent leftovers and freezes well if you need to.
