Week 19 nutrition & recipes

“The table is a meeting place, a gathering ground, the source of sustenance and nourishment, festivity, safety, and satisfaction.”
– Laurie Colwin

Week 19 marks the delightful transition from spring to summer – a wonderful time for exploring seasonal nutrition and creative, healthy recipes. The season bursts with vibrant produce like strawberries, rhubarb, asparagus, and fresh greens. Incorporate these ingredients into your diet to harness their peak flavors and nutritional benefits. Start your day with a refreshing strawberry-rhubarb smoothie, packed with antioxidants and vitamins. For lunch, a crisp asparagus and mixed greens salad with a zesty lemon vinaigrette offers a nutrient-dense meal. Dinner can feature grilled chicken with a side of roasted spring vegetables, drizzled with balsamic glaze. Celebrate the season with a strawberry and mint-infused water, perfect for hydration.
