March Meal Plan

March and the colour green have been long associated. St. Patrick’s day falls on March 17, and in many places of the world, you’ll start seeing green sprouts in the soil to signify the start of spring. But we want you to think of March and green for one more reason—eating your vegetables for National Nutrition Month. We worked with Revive Wellness to come up with this macro-balanced meal plan that’s filled with lots of vegetables, varied protein sources and nutritious whole grains. No matter which recipe you make, you’ll be celebrating National Nutrition Month and treating your body right.
