Day 3 - SPP Cleanse

Angela asked me a great question: What is the best way to prepare vegetables to retain the highest nutrient value? Raw, steamed, sauteed, or roasted?
Answer: Usually, eating raw fruits and vegetables is the best method.  ie. smoothies!!
Steaming, sauteés, and microwaving are also great options. Some nutrients like lycopene in tomatoes are more readily absorbed if heated.
