If you're using Nudge, you know the value of loading up on healthy vegetables and grains throughout the day. As we've mentioned before, one of the key ways to make sure you're eating healthy throughout the day is to have a healthy dish that when taken to your workplace is so fresh and delicious, you won't be tempted to hit the vending machines or head out for fast food. It needs to travel well, not spoil easily, and be full of nutrients and energy to keep you alert and focused until the next meal.
