GGB Nutrition Challenge!
Written by Corinne Dobbas, MS, RD // November 24, 2009 // Nutrition // 13 Comments
Alright Green Grapes Blog (GGB) readers—it’s time to up the health ante! We talk about leading a more healthifying lifestyle here at GGB, but as your momma told you, actions speak louder than words. Hence, it’s time to join the GGB Nutrition Challenge!
What’s the GGB Nutrition Challenge?
Each month, GGB invites you to send healthy recipes based on the month’s challenge, complete with a list of ingredients and step-by-step preparation directions. Each recipe must be accompanied by a single photograph of the fully prepared item (check out an example from the Food Network and use the form on the “Challenge” page as a guide). If you know your recipe’s nutrition information, please send that as well.
You can submit as many times as you want until the last day of each month, when three finalists will be chosen based on their recipe’s healthfulness, tastiness, and relevance to the month’s challenge. If you become a finalist, your recipe will be posted on the “Finalists” page, where GGB readers will have one week to vote for the winning recipe.
If you win a challenge, you will be notified via e-mail and have your recipe permanently featured on the “Stars” page (along with your blog or website name, if you’ve got one). Each winner will also receive a prize.
Did You Say Prize!?!?
Yes—I did. Prizes will vary each month but will always be something healthifying!!!
One More Thing
Lastly, I must say, this is the blog of a gal who mainly cooks with a skillet and only a skillet–so don’t feel as if your recipe must be Top Chef style–it can be, but doesn’t have to be–just make sure it’s GGB healthifying style!
Check out the GGB Nutrition Challenge page to learn more and read the official rules!
Happy Healthifying!
Can’t wait to see your recipes!
I say goodbye to fad diets, bogus "fat-burning" pills, and processed, non-food food. And, I smile hello to a healthifying lifestyle full of fruits, veggies, and whole grains, sweaty workouts, the occasional "chocolate fix," sleep, family and friend time, and quality "me time" with a focus on health. I look forward to your comments and thoughts as the posts healthify on by!

I’ll mention it on my blog perhaps(?) to let readers know about it! …although that would be more competition…hmmm…haha. Happy ‘T-Day’ – none for me in Canada of course, but I love the atmosphere of it all anyways.
Fabulous! I’d LOVE it if you mention it on your blog … but it’s up to you
Thanks for the blog love! And, “happy Thanksgiving” to you too

So excited to find your blog… and just in time for the GGB nutrition challenge! Congratulations on your soon-to-be RD status. Tufts is an amazing school. Looking forward to learning from each other!
Love the Challenge. I am definitely partaking in this.
I am originally from Boston and LOVE the city. Did I read somewhere that you are at Tufts? My sister is in her 2nd year of dental school at Tufts.
EXCITED to hear you’ll be participating in the GGB Challenge!
Yes, I am at Tufts, on the Medical Campus–same as the dental school! I am in my last 6 months of my Dietetic Internship and in getting my Masters in Nutrition–exciting! Tuft’s Dental is a fabulous program! Good for your sister! If she ever has time or come up, you should try the bootcamp
What a great idea!! I will definitely participate
I am excited! Looking forward to hearing from you!
