As National Nutrition Month comes to a close (yes, March is nearly over), remember that healthy-living is an ongoing process. You can build upon your healthy values everyday and eventually they’ll become second nature. So these Nutri-Savvy Tips I’ve provided throughout this month are useful no matter what day or time of year. Keep them handy and stay healthy. Here’s one last NNM post — for this year anyway : ).
This Week’s NNM Tip: Add in a new fruit or vegetable each week! It can be something unusual and unique to your palate or even just something you haven’t had in a while.
For example:
Asparagus is in season and can be a delightful side simply steamed and served with lemon and garlic or used to serve up chopped in your salads and potato or rice dishes. Come up with your own healthy recipe or try these amazing Eating Well recipes here.
Use this as a fun way to taste and explore the possibilities for your dishes and snacks. This will reduce the same old boring meals and liven ‘em up with new favors, color and textures that fruits and veggies can provide. So go ahead – mix it up – and enjoy a rainbow of epicurean delight!
