Box Brief:
The holidays are coming to a close soon and it’s time to hit the reset button! Beginning on Monday, January 10th we’ll begin our 4 week Wellness Challenge.

Participants will try to eat their recommended daily servings of vegetables OR protein. They will also complete 10 minutes of stretching, foam rolling or yoga each day.

When deciding whether you should focus on vegetables or protein first determine what you struggle with the most.

Each person will be randomly assigned a team of 3 to 4 people. Our goal for each team is to support each other through accountability, recipe sharing, and troubleshooting any problems they encounter.

The challenge is only $5 to participate and all proceeds go towards the grand prize for our winning team. A sign-up sheet is available at the front desk.

Recipe of the Week:
We found a healthier protein packed version of Jalapeno Poppers that we can’t wait to make ourselves. Give this recipe a shot! Instructions below.

Ingredients:
Filling
1lb lean ground bison (or your choice of protein)
1/2 cup diced onion, raw
2 teaspoons garlic (powder)
1 tablespoon smoked paprika (to make it fiery red)
pinch of sea salt & pepper
1/2 cup frozen spinach, completely thawed and SQUEEZED to remove excess water
8oz Greek yogurt cream cheese (or reduced fat cream cheese)

12 jalapeños (halved and seeds removed)
12 slices (beef) bacon (or your choice of bacon)

Instructions:
1) Set oven to 420F.

2) Remove the seeds from the jalapeños.

3) Set a nonstick skillet on medium heat. Once hot, spray with a little olive oil, then add the bison and onion. Chop up the meat as it cooks, then sprinkle in garlic, smoked paprika and sea salt & pepper.

4) Once the meat has fully cooked and is no longer pink, drain the meat (if necessary – though it shouldn’t be since it’s lean) and add it to a large bowl along with spinach and cream cheese. Mix.

5) Use a tablespoon to stuff each jalapeño half with the filling. Repeat. Slice bacon down the middle (vertically) to create 2 thin pieces.

6) Wrap ONE slice around the piece of bacon. Repeat.

7) Place the poppers on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until you see the edges of the bacon began to crisp.

8) Enjoy!
