As a nutritionist, I am often sent tasty treats to try. Penguin Random House Canada sent me a copy Amelia Freer’s newest book The 10-Day plan to Nourish & Glow, Lose weight, Feel Great, and Transform Your Relationship with Food. Amelia Freer is a name I had never heard before. She has a large following and with good reason. Her recipes are delicious and simple. This book has a 10 day plan that is very detailed with all the recipes. It’s a book I would highly recommend!
I have special permission to share my favorite recipe from the book: the Rainbow Abundance Bowl. Try it out and let me now what you think. !
