Transformation Tuesday---Revive your veggies in less than 30 min!

Ever had the best intentions for your veggies only to have it wilt (pun intended)?
Last week, I had my usual meal plan, but life happened and I didn't use all of the veggies that I purchased before going out of town for the weekend. 
Today as I went into the crisper drawer in the fridge, I pulled out my sad bunch of kale that was supposed to be used to make one of my delicous kale salads.

Sad kale...
Luckily I know a secret on how to bring my kale (and other veggies) back to their glory days so that I don't have to throw food (and money) away. 
As most of you know, vegetables have a very high water content. As they dry out from exposure to air (even in the crisper drawer), they will start to wilt or dry up in general because their cell walls start to sag. 
Here's how you can revive your veggies in as little as 20min (for some) using plain, cold water:
  • For leafy veggies like kale, swiss chard, scallions/green onion, celery, asparagus & romaine lettuce: trim off the ends and place in a glass (or better yet a vase) of cold water. 
  • For bell peppers, cabbage, spinach, carrots, softer leafy lettuce, broccoli & green beans: cut them as you'd like to use them and place in a bowl of water with ice for around 30-60min. 
Feel free to keep the veggies in water and store in the fridge. 
Give it a try the next time you think about tossing your wilted or wrinkled produce!

Here's how my kale looked after being brought back from the dead:

Coaching appointments are by appointment only.

"I chose Tosha because she has a realistic approach to fitness. It's tailored to my lifestyle,
goals and needs.

I never thought that I would someday enjoy working out... But now I do!! Its fun.

A Tosha Bailey plan is never boring. She pushes my body to heights I didn't think were possible and the feeling of accomplishment makes me want to work even harder.

I love her approach to nutrition. Instead of telling me what I can't eat... She tells me what I can and it really works!
​
This is no quick weight loss plan.
Tosha has taught me how to have a healthy LIFE and that's a plan worth working for!"
