This video is the second installment that I shot with Green Giant in Los Angeles in December. I was excited to partner with a brand that promotes affordability, convenience and nutrition for my readers who do not live next door to a Whole Foods and are forced to shop at regular and sometimes limited grocery stores.
On my site, I try to promote a variety of different workouts and diets. No one size fits all and it’s important to have a few recipes under your belt when you are short on time and trying to avoid getting take out. Plan your meals ahead of time to ensure weight loss/maintenance success. This is a great side dish or main meal.
