An Annual Tradition…

Welcome to the 2022 Thankful Challenge.

Since 2018, I’ve established an annual thankful challenge. Throughout November, I will openly share what I’m grateful for. I invite you to participate and join the fun!

Please visit my social media platforms on Facebook and Instagram, as well as this platform from the 1st-30th for the daily gratitude question of the day.

Are we ready to begin this challenge for 2022?

LET’S DO THIS!!

Day One

What are seven healthy foods you appreciate?

1. Apple bananas are found in Hawai’i. These particular bananas are my favorite. They’re firm and sweet.
2. Apples, a fruit high in fiber- only if the skin is consumed. An apple a day keeps the doctor away!
3. Arugula, I love them raw or cooked. This green is filled with a good amount of fiber.
4. Berries, I love them all. But my two favorites are strawberries and blueberries. I add them to my smoothies, salads, oatmeal, and to baked dishes. They provide antioxidants and fiber. It’s a healthy snack to munch on when you’re craving something sweet and tart.
5. Lentils are very high in fiber and very filling. I sometimes replace whole grains with lentils. Lentils pair well in soups, stews, and curries. I’ve also had them with a piece of wild lemon-peppered salmon.
6. Natto, fermented soybeans; a Japanese staple. If you can get past the acquired smell, taste, and texture, it’s addicting to eat. I eat them plain, for a snack, any time of the day.
7. Quinoa is a healthy grain alternative. I’ve replaced brown rice with quinoa. My favorite is an over-easy egg over hot, steaming quinoa! Yum!

With gratitude,
