While lunch is by far the nutrition powerhouse, featuring supergreen arugula and tangy tomatoes balanced by savory steak and spicy horseradish cut by the tartness of fresh-squeezed lemon. Yum! Finally your dinner tonight is a meat-and-potatoes offering with a coconut twist. Also, you’ll get a boost of beta carotene and a multitude of minerals from the sweet potato, so eat up.
