Back to school means back to some form of ~routine~ ๐โ
โ
What works best for you?โ
โ
Here are a few tricks in our bag this time of year... โ
โ
Meal-prepping & planning ahead (embrace your inner Virgo) can really help! โ

๐ง You can even freeze your favorite breakfasts ahead of time! โ
๐ฅฆ Make sure you have plenty of healthy snacks on hand (think plain Greek yogurt & granola, fruit, veggies + hummus, oatmeal cookie) โ
๐ซถ Always have a plan B! We've got your back with healthy, easy bowls, wraps & treats that can make eating nutritiously a breeze!โ

Most of us enjoy celebrating holidays just for the fun of it, but did you know it's also good for you??? ๐โ
โ
When you celebrate, your brain releases dopamine, a neurotransmitter associated with pleasure and reward. Dopamine makes you feel happy and satisfied ๐โ
Celebrations also typically involve social interactions, which can boost your serotonin. Serotonin contributes to feelings of well-being and happiness ๐คฉโ
โ
All the more reason to celebrate this #LDW ๐๐ฅณ๐ชฉโ

Sometimes you just need a little treat-yourself pick-me-up ๐ especially on Mondays ๐โ
โ
You deserve a fresh bowl filled with feel-good ingredients ๐โ
You deserve to go the extra mile and choose whichever add-ons are calling your name ๐โ
โ
You deserve that extra crunch of roasted nuts or seeds.โ
Take things international with the Mediterranean tomatoes ๐
โ
You want cheese? Always. Choose feta or parmesan!โ
& you definitely deserve that avocado smash ๐ฅ
For some reason... carbs get a bad rap but we're here to bust all those myths ๐คฏโ
โ
Eating a healthy amount of carbohydrates every day can: โ
๐ provide sufficient energyโ
๐ท help protect against diseaseโ
๐ keep you full longerโ
โ
Don't skimp on the carbs... even if you need to avoid gluten! Enjoy our mac & cheese today ๐คฉโ
โ
#WellbeingWednesday
Spicy foods taste fire... AND they're super good for you ๐ฅโ
โ
Like the zesty ginger in our sesame ginger broccoli, for example, is filled with antioxidants that make it highly anti-inflammatory ๐โ
โ
The capsaicin from the sriracha in our honey sriracha Brussels sprouts can help to speed up your metabolism ๐โ
โ
The cayenne pepper from the buffalo sauce in our cauliflower has polyphenols, which can help maintain heart health & brain health ๐ง โ
โ
Even the wasabi in our fan-favorite creamy wasabi sauce is studied for aiding in digestive, heart & bone health โค๏ธ๐ฅโ

We go ~coconuts~ for healthy foods that are also deee-licious ๐๐โ
โ
๐ฅฅ๐ฅฅ๐ฅฅโ
โ
Coconuts are super good for you because:โ
-the coconut meat provides carbs and protein along with many essential minerals, such as manganese, copper, iron, and selenium!โ
-it's rich in antioxidants, healthy fats, & fiber.โ
-it's versatile in the kitchen and works well in both sweet and savory foods. โ
โ
Celebrate #NationalCoconutDay by building your own bowl with our coconut rice & coconut sweet potato sauce. Or order the chef-cureated Teriyaki Tiki bowl ๐ดโ

we know, you might not think of Brussells sprouts as “fun”... but here’s a few fun facts anyway ๐โ
โ
they look like mini cabbages because they’re actually members of the same cruciferous vegetable family ๐ฅฆ๐ฅฌโ
โ
one 80-gram serving of these healthy veggies delivers four times more vitamin C than an orange ๐โ
โ
add honey sriracha Brussells sprouts to your bowl, or try them in one of our chef-curated bowls, like the Island Bliss ๐โ

Start your summer off with a bang ๐๐ฅโ
โ
Make your grilling extra healthy with these easy tips:โ
๐งฝ start with a clean grill! use a wire brush to get off any of that extra charโ
๐ฅฉ practice safe food handling. keep raw meat, poultry and seafood separate from vegetables and other foods.โ
๐ฅ avoid too much smoke or direct fire! high heat and open flames can create chemicals that have been linked to some cancers. try lining your grill with aluminum foil.โ
๐ฟ marinade for added flavor & health benefits. mix in fresh herbs, citrus, vinegar & spices to add more nutrients to the dish.โ
๐ choose leaner meats! buy lower fat content beef & pork, or stick to fish. grilled salmon, trout or herring can be delish.โ
๐ don't forget the veg & fruit. kabobs are a great way to alternate meat, fruit & veg in a delicious creation.โ
