National Nutrition Month is here! In honor of this nutrition education campaign, Food Heaven will be facilitating our very own 7 Day Food Heaven Challenge.  We’ve listed all the daily activities below. Won’t you join us? It’s fun, super easy and good for the mind, body and soul. The challenge will begin on Monday, March 5th.

Here goes…

 

Monday:
Make your own tea. Either when you wake up or when you’re ready to wind down after a busy Monday.

 

Tuesday:
Get at least 15 minutes of natural sunlight. take a walk, stand in the sun while waiting for the bus, go to your roof in the early morning, and the list goes on.

 

Wednesday:
Get active! Spend at least 30 minutes getting your body moving. Walk instead of taking the bus, take a morning jog, you tube some work out videos, do some yoga. your body will love you for it.

 

Thursday:
The week is almost done. treat yourself to some dessert. the catch is you have to make it yourself. just don’t go too crazy on your sweet tooth.

 

Friday:
TGIF. Make your awesome self a drink immediately. the drink should incorporate your favorite fruit!

 

Saturday:
If you can afford it, take yourself out to dinner. make sure you treat yourself to food you know will do your body good. If you can’t afford it, then prepare yourself a beautiful dinner at home. this can be done solo, or with a positive companion.

 

Sunday:
It’s brunch time! make yourself a delicious brunch. Keep it healthy and most importantly, keep it exciting. while enjoying your brunch, light yourself a white candle. Not only does it set a great vibe, it also represents purity and new beginnings. Let this light be your inspiration to keep challenging yourself to higher levels of health.

We Have A Winner!

Big thanks to everyone who participated in our giveaway! It was a tough decision, but in the end we had to go with Kevina from Brooklyn, NY. We judged based on creativity, balance and overall healthiness of the meal.

Kevina impressed us by remixing our unhealthy fried chicken and french fry platter into this scrumptious and healthy meal.

I would switch the french fries with some yummie & healthy baked sweet potato fries. And then take some lean boneless chicken & stuff it with low-fat ricotta cheese, spinach, and grape tomatoes(cut up). To mimic the crunchiness of the fried chicken, you could coat the chicken with panko bread crumbs & sear it in some olive oil before putting it in the oven. The stuffing inside the chicken would replace the dipping sauce.

Kevina was also kind enough to provide us with a healthy eating tip:

When grocery shopping, always read the ingredients list! You’d be shocked at some of the things they put in pre-packaged food. If you can’t pronounce or identify an ingredient, DON’T EAT IT!

Word.
