March is National Nutrition Month, the perfect time to fuel your body with wholesome, nutrient-packed meals and snacks. I’m sharing simple and delicious ways to nourish yourself from breakfast to dinner! I’m on ABC Phoenix with my tips and recipes.
First, start your day with a punch of antioxidants with this Pomegranate Chia Pudding made with POM Wonderful 100-percent pomegranate juice. I love working with the Wonderful Company because POM Wonderful 100-percent pomegranate juice powers antioxidant defenses. POM Wonderful 100-percent pomegranate juice is whole-pressed to release the polyphenols in the rind, pith and arils to optimize its potential antioxidant benefits. Every 16-oz bottle of POM Wonderful 100-percent pomegranate juice has the juice of four whole-pressed pomegranates and nothing else – no fillers, and never any added sugar. To make this chia pudding, combine 3 tbsp chia seeds, 1 tbsp maple syrup, ½ cup pomegranate juice and 1/4 cup of oat milk, refrigerate overnight, and top with pomegranate arils in the morning
For a plant-powered snack option, enjoy pistachio hummus with sliced veggies and crackers. This hummus is made with Wonderful Pistachios which are one of the highest protein snack nuts with 6 grams of complete plant protein and 3 grams of fiber per serving. In-shell pistachios are also a great snack option because they may help you fool yourself full because the leftover shells can be a visual cue for portions, potentially helping to curb intake. We call this the Pistachio Principle! To make this hummus, blend together 1 cup of Wonderful Pistachios No Shells Unsalted, their newest flavor, hold the salt not the flavor – 1 can of drained and rinsed chickpeas, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 clove of garlic, the juice of half a lemon and 2 tablespoons of tahini.
For a crunchy, fun and kid-approved snack option – turn to crispy fruit. Crispy Fruit by Crispy Green is made from 100% pure fruit—nothing else! No added sugar, preservatives, and artificial ingredients. With seven delicious flavors and a light, crispy texture, Crispy Fruit turns snack time into fun time! It’s a great way to add fruit to your family’s day—without the mess or hassle. It’s also great for on the go snacking. Each snack-sized bag is perfectly portioned for lunchboxes, road trips, sports practice, or anytime you need a quick, wholesome snack.
