PS1000 Program Favorite Recipes
 |
By CANDICE GREY ConsumersCompare.org Update: Aug 08, 2019 |
ConsumersCompare.org was able to venture into the PS1000 support group and get some interesting information from the customers who are trying out all of the recipes. With so many options to choose from, I was naturally interested in how they were, how they tasted, and which ones were the favorites. When inside of the support group (not many people from the outside are allowed in) we asked what the favorite recipes were throughout the program and there were obvious front runners. The participation was large, and there was no doubt after seeing the results that these recipes are worth a try.

4 Whole eggs, 4 Egg Whites, 1 tbsp Olive oil, 1 cup Red pepper measured after chopping, 1 cup Green pepper measured after chopping, 1 cup Yellow onion measured after chopping, 2 cups Baby spinach – roughly chopped , 1 cup Mushrooms measured before chopping, 2 Cloves garlic minced, 1 Salt to taste , and 1 Hot sauce (optional for drizzling on top).
