Recommendations for fruits and vegetables are now in cups. One
cup equals:
1) 1 small apple
2) 1 large banana
3) 2 cups of raw greens
4) 12 baby carrots
5) 1 large orange
6) 1 large bell pepper
7) 1 medium grapefruit
8) 1 large sweet potato
People need different amounts of fruits and vegetables depending
on their age, gender and amount of daily physical activity.
For example, the recommendation for a 40-year-old male who gets
about 60 minutes of daily physical activity is 2 cups of fruit and 3½
cups of vegetables. The recommendation for a 15-year-old female
who gets less than 30 minutes of daily physical activity is 1½ cups
of fruit and 2½ cups of vegetables.
To meet their daily goal, most people need to increase the number
of fruits and vegetables they eat every day. All product forms count –
fresh, frozen, canned, dried and 100% juice. Whole fruits, however,
usually contain more fiber than juice.

1) Make the Garlic Roasted Chickpeas: Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Drain
two cans of garbanzo beans, but don’t rinse (The bean liquid that remains
will help the spices adhere and brown without the need for oil). Dump
beans onto a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet and sprinkle with
nutritional yeast, then with salt. Do not toss or stir. Bake for 30 minutes,
gently flipping the last 10 minutes. Beans should be golden and crunchy.
2) Make the quinoa: Place quinoa, No-Chicken Broth and zest of one lemon in
a small pot. Cover and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and cook for 20
minutes. Allow to rest for at least 5 minutes. Add lemon juice and parsley
and fluff with a fork.
3) Make the Roasted Red Pepper Sauce: Place drained jar of roasted red
peppers in a small blender or Magic Bullet and blend until smooth. (Note:
do not add water, oil, salt or anything else. Just blended roasted red pepper
is all that is needed for a delicious fat-free, salt-free dressing!)
4) Assemble the bowl: In each of 4 large, shallow bowls, place quinoa in half
and spinach in the other half. Layer with flavor, by drizzling with a bit of
dressing. Place small mounds of each topping, alternating colors – Kalamata
olives, artichoke hearts, cucumbers, red bell peppers, grape tomatoes, pine
nuts and Garlic Roasted Chickpeas. Garnish with a sprig of parsley.

Avocado - a tree likely originating from south-central Mexico, is classified as a
member of the flowering plant family Lauraceae. The fruit of the plant, also
called an avocado (or avocado pear or alligator pear).
Bee Pollen - also known as bee bread and ambrosia, is a ball or pellet of field-
gathered flower pollen packed by worker honeybees, and used as the primary
food source for the hive.
Goji Berries - goji, goji berry, or wolfberry, is the fruit of either Lycium barbarum
or Lycium chinense, two closely related species of boxthorn in the nightshade
family, Solanaceae. L. barbarum and L. chinense fruits are similar but can be
distinguished by differences in taste and sugar content.
Ras el Hanout - a spice mix found in varying forms in Tunisia, Algeria,
and Morocco. The name in Arabic means "head of the shop" and implies a
mixture of the best spices the seller has to offer. Ras el hanout is used in many
savory dishes, sometimes rubbed on meat or fish, or stirred
into couscous, pasta or rice.
Scallion - are long, with a white stem end that does not bulge out. They have an
onion-y but mild bite that is not as intense as regular onions (the white parts
contain the most intense flavour). They can be used raw or cooked, and while
some cooks discard the darker green tops, the whole thing can be eaten, and is
often used in Asian cooking.
Sriracha Sauce - a type of hot sauce or chili sauce made from a paste of chili
peppers, distilled vinegar, garlic, sugar, and salt.
Tahini - tahini or tahina is a Middle Eastern condiment made from toasted
ground hulled sesame. It is served by itself or as a major ingredient in hummus,
baba ghanoush, and halva. Tahini is used in the cuisines of the Levant and
Eastern Mediterranean, the South Caucasus, as well as parts of North Africa.
Zucchnni - zucchini, courgette or baby marrow is a summer squash, a vining
herbaceous plant whose fruit are harvested when their immature seeds and
epicarp are still soft and edible. It is closely related, but not identical, to the
marrow; its fruit may be called marrow when mature.
