Spring Forth with VEGGIES!

Nutrition
Written By Jennifer Rappole

Vegetable season is upon us!  

Nothing quite like a nutrition coach getting excited about VEGGIE SEASON!

There’s a good reason!  And it’s called whole food veggie health.

Think: 

Spring salads, grilled greens, hearty radishes, firmer cucumber…

It all starts with a little sunshine. (I know we are ALL happier to see more of the sun these days)

Sunshine helps those crops grow, bringing them that much closer to your plate, your palette and your holistic health.

We know summer time brings a bounty of choices for produce. Why wait for summer?

Starting now with the vegetables and fruits that are in season will add value to your nutrient dense foods and quality to your gut health.

Here are a few to look for at your local farmer’s market or the produce section of the grocery store:

  • Peas

  • Carrots

  • Onions

  • Asparagus

  • Artichokes

  • Kale

  • Green Beans

(Easter Dinner ideas are boundless and bountiful with the vitamins and minerals from these whole food veggies)

Let’s talk fruits:

  • Avocados

  • Pineapple

  • Oranges

  • Lemons
