Lately, we’ve been getting chatty on Instagram and asking our readers to weigh in on conversations we’ve been having in the office. The latest? Must eat treats for junk food-loving friends.
You know the moment: you’re chowing down mindlessly on a truly weird salad when suddenly you realize just how foreign what you’re eating seems to your more conventional, fast-food-oriented pal. No judgement from either side of the table! We just want our favorite people feeling good – and love the inspiring ideas below from our readers in answer to our question: What healthy dish could convert any junk food lover?
