Peanut Noodles with Shredded chicken and veggies
Add a little international flare to your Monday night meal with this spiced-up EatingWell dish. For the peanut sauce, opt for natural peanut butter since many other packaged ones are full of sugar (Trader Joe’s and Smart Balance are two brands I keep on hand).

On Fruit Juice: Good or Bad?, CallFritz.com said:
