“My local farmers’ market opened up for the season and I’ve been loading up on yummy local greens.” – Be More Healthful

We’re finally starting to get genuine spring weather (in May!) and, with it, our farmers’ markets are stepping outside too!

Use your greens in dishes like these:
Sunny Eggs with Asian Greens
Fiddlehead Pasta Primavera
Steak Salad with Dates & Blue Cheese (pictured)
Rack of Lamb with Arugula Pesto
Green Egg Skillet Bake
Spinach & Chickpeas

“Because I ate tons and tons of fruit!” – Nelao Nengola Alexander

We’ve been eating loads of fruit, too. Pineapple, watermelon, citrus fruit, berries – you name it! We’ve also been throwing them into smoothies and juices with spring greens and coconut water. SO GOOD!

“My veggie garden is in full bloom. Tomatoes, peppers and carrots, oh my!” – Cortney Curtis

“I’ve been able to make healthy smoothies in my home.” – Angel Fallen

Love it! Have you tried our Morning-Energizing Smoothie (pictured, left), Memory-Enhancing Smoothie or Double Chocolate Mint Smoothie?

“We made fish tacos many times because of the recipe in the last issue!” – Susan Woodland Lemna

That is definitely a killer recipe – bookmark our Grilled Fish Tacos (pictured)! We’ve also got another fish taco recipe to throw into your rotation: Fish Tacos with Pineapple Jicama Slaw!
