A Superfood Rice Bowl. Add the high protein and the vegetables you want to eat.
Shoutout to Andy Suzuki … who made Rice Bowls with Chief Editor, Briana, in her grandmother’s living room. That’s where the term Superfood got coined. If you’re Asian something, you’ll get it because I’m Caucasian. Get it?
Rice bowls are quick to make for any meal time. Keep your pantry well stocked with superfood so you always have healthy food to make a satisfying meal. Yup rice bowls are for everyone who wants one.
We fed the homeless.
We fed the poor.
We fed the working class.
We fed the rich.
We’re feeding humanity healthy food at an affordable price.
But you should know how to make it. Because it can get pretty expensive to eat a rice bowl if you buy it everyday for someone else to make it.
Teach me how to fish. Yeah, that’s my grandmother having me learn when I’m less than nine years old.
Here at Fromgirltogirl.com we eat rice bowls at brunch and dinner. Yes, you can serve dessert rice bowls.
Brunch & Dinner Superfood Rice Bowl
This is a rice bowl to feed one person:
1 tin of Smoked Salmon
Sushi Rice
Bok Choy, Chard, and Kale ( or your favorite leafy greens)
With employer-provided healthcare plan costs expected to rise by an average of 5.6% in 2023, the personal-finance website WalletHub released its report on 2023’s Healthiest & Unhealthiest Cities in America.
City leaders need to stay vigilant for any future health crises to safeguard the wellness of their residents.
When a city doesn’t take care of these many important issues, it can be hard to keep up good health.
To identify the places where health is a priority, WalletHub compared more than 180 of the largest U.S. cities across 43 key metrics. The data set ranges from the cost of a medical visit to fruit and vegetable consumption to the percentage of residents who are fully vaccinated.

Measures local authorities can take to improve health care
Cities need clean air, good public transportation, bike lanes, trails in the city or nearby, access to many green public spaces, and access to good healthy food (farmer markets, etc. – no food deserts). Cities, where retail and living spaces are integrated, are also on average healthier, I think.

What are the most important factors to consider in choosing a city that is good for your health?
I think the first and foremost factor is the accessibility of healthcare resources. The quality of healthcare facilities and the availability of medical professionals are important for maintaining health. Environmental factors like air quality and climate are always a consideration before choosing a city. City infrastructure such as well-maintained sidewalks, bike lanes, trails, gyms, community centers, and sports clubs can also contribute to the decision.

Local authorities could improve our cities and states by making outdoor environments more welcoming to people. First, walkable cities and appropriate infrastructure help individuals engage with their communities and socialize across socio-economic strata. Second, reducing pollution and providing an opportunity for their citizens to engage with their physical environment is a way to improve the well-being of their constituents.
Key Stats
Fremont, California, has the lowest share of physically unhealthy adults, 6.20 percent, which is 2.8 times lower than in Newark, New Jersey, the city with the highest at 17.60 percent.
Laredo, Texas, has the lowest cost per doctor’s visit, $65.00, which is 3.6 times less expensive than in Juneau, Alaska, the city with the highest at $235.22.
Portland, Maine, has the lowest share of adults eating fruit less than once daily, 32.00 percent, which is 1.6 times lower than in Chattanooga, Tennessee, the city with the highest at 52.60 percent.
Glendale, Arizona, has the lowest average monthly cost for a fitness-club membership, $15.00, which is 7.1 times less expensive than in Juneau, Alaska, the city with the highest at $106.88.
In order to identify the overall healthiest cities in the U.S., WalletHub compared 182 cities — including the 150 most populated U.S. cities, plus at least two of the most populated cities in each state — across four key dimensions: 1) Health Care, 2) Food, 3) Fitness and 4) Green Space. The sample considers only the city proper in each case and excludes cities in the surrounding metro area.
We evaluated the four dimensions using 43 relevant metrics, which are listed below with their corresponding weights. Each metric was graded on a 100-point scale, with a score of 100 representing the most favorable conditions for a healthy lifestyle. Data for metrics marked with an asterisk (*) were available at the state level only. For metrics marked with two asterisks (**), we calculated the population size using the square root of the population in order to avoid overcompensating for minor differences across cities.

Fitness expert’s share tips to eat healthy with cheat meals. Following a strict cheat meal diet can lead to feelings of deprivation, cravings, and hunger.
Patrick Dale, personal trainer and fitness expert at FitnessVolt.com has prepared this guide to help you eat healthy.
1. Plan your cheat meals in advance. Choose days each week you will have a cheat meal and commit to that food diet schedule.
2. Exercise first. Intense workouts mean at least some of your excess calories and nutrients will be used for fuel or driven away from your fat stores.
3. Do not stock up on junk food at home. If lack of willpower means you cannot resist eating junk food, make your home a junk food-free zone and don’t buy cheat foods to store for later. This will help you make healthy eating a habit.
4. Keep eating healthy. Think of your cheat meal day (s) as “one and done,” each week. Then, you continue to eat healthy food each week.

About Dr. Praeger’s Sensible Foods® History
Dr. Praeger’s Sensible Foods® was founded in 1994 by two heart surgeons, Dr. Peter Praeger and Dr. Eric Somberg, with the mission to bring healthy and delicious frozen food to communities. They got into the food business motivated by what they saw in their practice and set out on a mission to encourage sensible eating. They knew the frozen food ingredients had to be nutritious, simple, and delicious.
How Saving a Life Saved a Business
Dr. Praeger and Dr. Somberg’s dads, medical partners and cardiothoracic surgeons, conducted emergency surgery to save a man’s life. They wound up also saving a business. After a successful operation, their fathers became friends. Later, the patient introduced their dads to the owner of Ungar’s Heimeshe Gefilte Fish Company. The heart specialists were hooked.
After acquiring the company (while keeping their busy medical practice) the pair launched Dr. Praeger’s Sensible Foods® to provide nutritious, delicious, and convenient frozen foods. They wanted to offer food that tasted good and would make it easier for people to adopt better eating habits.
Now, 25+ years later Dr. Praeger’s Sensible Foods® still remains true to the company’s original mission and values to use quality ingredients to make great-tasting products that families love.
Fromgirltogirl is looking forward to tasting new flavors and food options from the Dr. Praeger’s Sensible Foods® line as they are released.

Kids Chick’n Littles by Dr. Praeger’s Sensible Foods® are a perfect snack for the kids or lunch plant protein for adults watching their weight. The Chick’n Littles are vegan, gluten free, and soy free. It’s a hidden veggie options that still smells like real chicken. We absolutely love the chicken and egg shape of these vegan chicken nuggets. The healthy frozen food provides a good source of fiber, with the nuggets made of 3 types of vegetables ( carrot puree , butternut squash puree, sweet potato puree, and oat fiber). It takes only 15 minutes or less to bake!
Planted-Based Perfect General Tso’s Chick’n Morsels by Dr. Praeger’s Sensible Foods® . This plant-based meal truly smells like real chicken and isn’t a bad alternative for plant-based foodies or those seeking a vegetable choice. I highly recommend this frozen food option for lunch or an appetizer. It’s the sweet, zesty sauce that makes this sensible meal a hit! You’ll get a crunchier taste if you air fry or skillet. If you are in a hurry, it will still taste delicious when using a microwave. Each serving is packed with 16 gram of plant protein. This is a vegan food product.
Kids Gluten Free Broccoli Littlesby Dr. Praeger’s Sensible Foods® . If you have kids, particularly picky eaters, these tasty and fun shaped broccoli bites are a freezer must have! We really enjoy eating them because they remind us of tater tots and mashed potatoes. The more brown, the better tasting the broccoli littles will be. This is a soy free meal and made of only nine ingredients: Broccoli, Potatoes, Onions, Egg Whites, Sea Salt, Garlic, Arrowroot Powder, Expeller Pressed Canola Oil, and Potato Flakes. It is 130 calories per serving.
