December Meal Plan
It’s the most wonderful time of the year! Although the holidays are a bit different this year, you can still enjoy all of the delicious food that’s served in December. From Christmas loaves to turkey soup, Canadian wheat is filled with fibre and essential vitamins and minerals, making it the perfect base for all your holiday recipes. For December we’ve reimagined some classic holiday foods with healthy and wholesome ingredients so you can feel good all month long. Thanks to our friends at Revive Wellness for developing this nutritionally balanced meal plan.
