G-Bombs

I've been working on getting in my G-Bombs with each meal. At least, as many of them as I can.

G-Bombs is an acronym the Dr. Fuhrman developed.  It represents the foods that are highest in nutritional value.  It gives you an easy tool when putting meals together.  If I'm including as many G-bombs as possible in a meal or dish, then I know I'm giving my body a rich supply of nutrients.

G - Greens (kale, collards, spinach, chard, dark lettuce varieties)
B - Beans (legumes, black beans being the highest value of protein)
O - Onions
M - Mushrooms (in variety)
B - Berries (low in glucose and most have seeds you eat, which, imo just increases their value for protein and fiber)
S - Seeds and nuts (raw and unsalted is best)

This has been a great tool for me. Not only do I have an easy frame of reference, but, c'mon, it's super fun saying "G-Bombs!!!"  every time you prep and serve a meal. :D

Here's my G-Bomb breakfast for today:



Breakfast bowl includes half a diced Granny Smith apple, 2 large leaves of raw kale, diced finely, 1 heaping tablespoon of ground flax seed, 2-3 tablespoons of raw oats, 1 HEAPING tablespoon of natural, chunky peanut butter (I sometimes substitute with chopped nuts), and a few berries.

I warmed up a pot of black beans with chopped mushroom and onion today.  I'll have a small serving each morning at breakfast as well. This makes my breakfast a Full G-Bomb Breakfast.  Yes, you may applaud now. Teehee.

My 11yo son made a comment the other day that made me smile.  "Mom," says he, "it's really cool when you know that what you're eating tastes good AND is really good for you."

Yes. Yes, it truly is.
