Integrity Eating

So blessed to start the New Year providing nutritional information at THE RINK!

Hi all!👋🏽Many people don’t have an area to grow their own food or are intimidated by the entire gardening process. I’ve found a super easy way to grow herbs and veggies from your inside your home with a product called Aerogarden! You can grow herbs and veggies with no dirt or sunlight. Add pods, water and plant food. In 3 weeks I was able to harvest lovely basil varieties. Perfect for herb gardening! During these confusing times, it’s comforting to know you can grow your own food inside your home! Has anyone tried this system? Let me know your experience.😊🌱🌱

Thanks for choosing The Rink for you special date Chance and Kirsten! Hope to see you soon! From Curtis and Ramona at THE RINK!🙏🏾❤️

🌸🌷🌹Edible flowers anyone? Many people are fighting the flu virus this season. A great way to boost your immune system is with Marigolds! Marigolds are more than just pretty flowers, they are also edible! Organic marigolds taste similar to saffron and their bright colors are full of anti-oxidants. Benefits of marigolds are many: they are anti-inflammatory, boost the immune system, help reduce eczema, possess natural antiseptic properties, and also helps eye inflammation and conjunctivitis. Enjoy marigolds in a tea, or add to soups and salads. Make sure they are organic and not sprayed with pesticides. Flower power!! What’s your favorite edible flower? 🌺🌹🌺🌸

CREAMY COCONUT 🥥 PUMPKIN 🎃SOUP! 🍜
🍁🍁Fall is a great time to try this powerful, creamy and delicious Japanese (kabocha) pumpkin soup. It’s so easy to make that it will keep you coming back for more! Bake a medium pumpkin in the oven for 30 minutes at 300 degrees until soft. Remove the skin and seeds. Combine the pumpkin chopped in cubes in a blender with 3 garlic cloves, veggie broth, 1/2 cup coconut milk, cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom, salt and pepper to taste. Pour the mixture in a pot and simmer for about 15 minutes. You can add more or less veggie broth for desired thickness. Top with coconut flakes, hempseed, tomatoes or toppings of your choice. Enjoy my favorite fall Japanese pumpkin soup. I hope it will quickly become one of you favorites! What’s your favorite soup?🥣

Hi all! 👋🏽👋🏽👋🏽I know I haven’t posted in a while, but I’m back now with more colorful, informative content and will also be posting exciting announcements soon!
For now, I’d like to share these easy, colorful, raw, vegan, purple cabbage rolls with you. I chopped red onions, mushrooms 🍄 , walnuts and 🥕 carrots in food processor for the filling. Lined the cabbage shell with hummus and added cucumbers, 🥒red, yellow and orange bell peppers. You can roll the cabbage or eat it like a taco. I drizzled them with a tahini paprika sauce before rolling. You can add avocado 🥑 and or vegan cheese 🧀 if you like. Even though this is a raw veggie dish, it is very filling. It contains healthy fats from the walnuts and the tahini sauce, fiber and a ton of vitamins from your colorful veggies. Purple cabbage is a good source of Vitamins A, C, K and B6. So, for added health benefits, always eat the rainbow! 🌈What’s your favorite colorful dish? Share in the comments below!😊⬇️⬇️⬇️

If you haven’t guessed, I’m obsessed with natural colorful Food! 🌈🌈Color in food is an easy way of getting a good amount of nutrients at one time. That’s why I am a natural Colorful Food Girl! I’ve developed this OMG deliciously flavorful pasta dish made from purple sweet potato glass noodles. I bought these noodles at a Korean super grocery store here in Chicago. I added purple cabbage, red and yellow peppers, baby organic kale along with sweet basil, and Italian oregano. ( I grow these beautiful greens and herbs 🌿 in my small space balcony garden!)
For extra protein I added spicy plant based Italian sausage. It’s made from pea protein and added a flavorful kick to the dish.
I mixed the noodles and veggies with a creamy sauce made with garlic, red onions, avocados 🥑, walnuts, extra virgin olive oil, salt, pepper, lemon 🍋 juice and a touch of neem honey. This dish is nutrient dense, extremely satisfying with plant protein and healthy fats.
Let me know if you guys like this dish, because I’m putting together a the recipes you love the the best and will be making it available to my beautiful followers! 😊❤️
So, tag 🏷 a friend who you think would like this dish and let’s create a nutritious COLORFUL FOOD REVOLUTION! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🌈🍓🍇🥬🍒🍠🌶🥕🍋🍊🍑🍌🍏🥒
