This recipe appealed to me because of all of the nutrients that are packed in. It was created by a nutrition professor at Boston University. I originally clipped it from a Runner's World magazine as a good meal to eat to refuel postrun/postride. It is packed with vegetables, carbs and protein. It turned out so good! The only problem is the amount that it makes. I will be eating this stuff for an entire week! Here's to hoping it restores whatever is wrong in my body :)
