In my last post I showed you how to add vitamin C to a recipe.  I created a recipe that has a high amount of vitamin C and tastes great!  You’ll also noticed I used two types of protein.  Sometime one protein is too high in calories to add more.  This was the case with the beef.  I added tempeh for texture and taste.  I used three types of bell pepper to raise the vitamin C.  I used a sweet potato to add some vitamin A.  One thing I try to do with any recipe is to make sure the macros are balanced.  This recipe does the trick!
