Get the Most Out of Your Meals

Balance is key

Wheat is so versatile—from the dishes you can make to the nutrients you get from eating your delicious creations. Including products made from a variety of flours in your diet is recommended by the Canada Food Guide to ensure you are getting a balance of the benefits provided by each.

Our April meal plan provides a well-rounded set of recipes that include wheat products like bran, all-purpose flour, wheat germ and semolina to give you nutritionally balanced and exciting new recipes to try.

Thanks to our friends at Revive Wellness for developing this versatile meal plan.
