The book and its author, Jeanne Besser, were featured in a cooking segment on the popular morning ABC show. You can watch it here!
Two recipes were featured -- a burrito bowl and a dessert made of frozen bananas and chocolate -- both tasty and flavorful without a lot of calories.
With Besser, talking about the concept of eating healthy without sacrificing taste, was her husband, ABC News’ Chief Health and Medical Reporter Rich Besser. GMA hired a cook to pre-prep Jeanne Besser's Flank Steak Burrito Bowls with Corn Salsa and Jeanne Besser's Frozen Bananas 3 Ways.
