One of my favorite nutrition hacks:
Pico de gallo
I make a big tub at home once a week and everyone eats it.
It’s such an easy way to put fruits and vegetables (including a leafy green) on top of your other meals. It’s a great way to get kids to eat veggies!

I guess that raises a similar question about her $3,000.
