The true trick to eating food that's good for you and tastes great is choosing "Real Ingredients"... what does that mean? Start by getting ingredients that come from nature and not the store shelf. Real, whole and created for a purpose.
To nourish and delight our body, and to enable us to have steady energy inside and out. Let's choose to get our "MOJO" (magic) from what we put on our plate.

Here's one I tweaked just a bit... try it out. I'd love to hear what you think!
