Sound suggestion:

If you can't be in Greece, may as well eat as if you are!

 

There's a reason the Mediterranean diet is so popular. Both satisfying and nutritious, this is a menu that you will feel good about on the outside and inside.

​

Couscous really is a "super-hero grain", it's a great plant based protein, a great source of fiber and selenium (ie a mineral that acts as an antioxidant to help protect against cell damage and infections) and is quick and easy to prep.
