FEED Favorites for SPRING

It's spring! Time to switch our focus from squash to salad greens! Eating with the seasons ensures you're getting more nutritious and flavorful produce, plus it benefits the environment, too. Seasonal produce grows with less human "assistance" and is more likely to be produced locally, which reduces the environmental impact of transportation and storage. Also, changing up your weekly produce haul as the seasons change increases the nutrient variety you are consuming while challenging your creativity in the kitchen! Here are a few of FEED's favorites for this time of year:

Spring Morning Muffins

Whole grain amaranth adds fiber to these – a nutrient-dense way to start the day!

Seasonal Salads

This spring-y salad from FEED dietitian Sara Haas

Also try our strawberry poppy seed salad or  for a quick lunch or dinner. Both are a great addition to a baby or bridal shower spread!

Satisfying Side Dishes

Once it's warm enough to cook outside, we recommend these grilled artichokes for an alfresco appetizer or vegetable side dish. Did you know that medium artichoke has 7 grams of fiber and 4 grams of protein?

Also, as the weather gets warmer and meals get lighter, we love satisfying side dishes like our . This high-fiber fare is delicious with our cedar plank salmon!

The beginning of a new season is a great time to change up your eating and exercise habits. Book an appointment with a FEED RD today to jumpstart a new warmer weather routine!
