This colorful bowl is packed with nutrients and flavor for your next Spring lunch. It has 11 unique plants, over 30g of protein, 18g of fiber, and healthy fats that will leave you feeling nourished.

Purple sweet potatoes are packed with antioxidants (if you couldn’t already tell from their color!) like selenium, tyrosine, and vitamin C. They’re also great for […]

Salmon is one of the best sources of omega-3 in the world, which helps to reduce triglycerides, normalize your heart rhythm, improve circulation, and can help lower high blood pressure. It is also significantly safer than farmed salmon – be […]
Spring has sprung! The chill has thawed across the east coast and out here on the west, the gloomy haze and rain have lifted! There has never been a better reason to get outdoors and back into nature. And that’s good news because nature isn’t just beautiful; it also has terrific benefits for our health […]
This zucchini is a fun (and delicious) way to incorporate another veggie into your plate. Slicing the zucchini in a zig-zag pattern allows the olive and salt to soak into the zucchini to boost the flavor after it is baked – and it looks gorgeous!
