Chef Jamie Lee shares, "Spring is a time for renewal, and what better way to rejuvenate your body than with the vibrant flavors of seasonal produce." The K.I.S.S. ~ Spring clean your diet! Here are some tips on how to spring clean your diet, eat to the season, save money, and a delicious recipe to enjoy guilt-free. 1. Incorporate Seasonal Produce: Opt for fresh fruits and vegetables that are in season during spring, such as strawberries, asparagus, leafy greens, and peas. These nutrient-dense foods not only provide essential vitamins and minerals but also add variety and freshness to your meals. Nutritionist Sarah Smith emphasizes, "Eating seasonal foods not only supports your overall health but also helps the environment by reducing food miles and supporting local farmers." Eating to the Season: - Choose seasonal fruits and vegetables like strawberries, asparagus, arugula, and peas. - Incorporate fresh herbs like mint, basil, and cilantro for added flavor. - Opt for lighter meals with salads, smoothies, and grilled dishes to align with the brighter days and warmer weather. 2. Meal Prep and Plan Ahead: Spend some time planning your meals for the week, including snacks and lunches. By prepping ingredients and having healthy meals ready to go, you can avoid making impulsive, less nutritious food choices. This will also help reduce food waste and save time during busy weekdays. Saving Money While Eating Healthy: - Shop at local farmer's markets for fresh, affordable produce. - Buy in bulk and freeze or preserve seasonal fruits and veggies for later use. - Plan meals ahead to avoid food waste and unnecessary spending. 3. Hydrate with Infused Water: Stay hydrated by infusing your water with fresh fruits, herbs, and vegetables like sliced cucumbers, mint leaves, or berries. This adds natural flavor without extra sugars or calories, making it a refreshing and healthier alternative to sugary beverages. Proper hydration is essential for overall well-being and supports a healthy metabolism. **Spring Recipe: Lemon Berry Chia Pudding** - Ingredients:
