Notes

Unless you have loads of time on your hands and want to steam fresh veggies and freeze them, I suggest you buy organic frozen vegetables from the grocery store.
Feel free to experiment and use any variation of the veggies listed above. The only things I wouldn’t recommend changing are the 1/4 cup sweet potato (for a touch of sweet & creamy), the vanilla protein powder (for protein & flavor), and some type of healthy fat (for satiety).
