My Favorite Snack: Golden Beets

Although I am in nutrition school, practice yoga daily, make attempts at meditation, and do my best to have positive things in my life, I admit, eating my vegetables every day is tough! Most things I eat are pretty easy to prepare, but vegetables take a bit more effort to prepare... if you like to cook them that is. So although cooking vegetables is a little annoying and tough to do throughout the day, one thing that makes eating them way easier is making sure they taste delicious :) My favorite snack, appetizer, and side is golden beets... yummmm. Cook them just right and you will be hooked! Here's how:


Find a few delicious golden beets.


Maybe take a cool picture :)


Make sure you have what you need.... coconut oil, a good paring knife, Himalayan sea salt.


Boil the beets in a large pot for 50 minutes- 1 hour. Peel with your awesome knife and slice thinly.


Sautee in coconut oil on medium-high until slightly browned.


Transfer each batch to a nice big plate.


Lightly sprinkle Himayalan sea salt evenly over beets.


Option to add crumbled feta on the side.... it is sooooo delicious :)
Enjoy!
