Lunch
To feel good throughout the day we need to eat a healthy lunch. Moreover, the ideal time to take our lunch is 12:30 up to 1:00 in the afternoon. Filipinos love to eat rice paired with hot steaming soup during lunch. One example is Mongo Guisado which is the most common Filipino soup because of its rich vitamin content and affordable ingredients.

Ingredients:
• 1 1/4 cups mongo (mung beans)
