Hello There, fellow food lovers! Is winter getting you down? Trust me, I get it - those short, dark days can really do a number on our mood. And while it's super tempting to reach for those comfort carbs and sweets (no judgment here!), I've got something better in mind that'll actually make you feel awesome.
Let's talk about adding some serious color to your plate! Colorful plant-based food looks good on the plate. They also pack some serious mood-boosting powers. Here's how to eat the rainbow and chase away those winter blues:
Do some Greens!
Load up on winter favorites like Brussels sprouts, kale, and collards. Want something fancy? Try making some collard spring rolls with cashew mustard - trust me, they're way more exciting than they sound!
Rock the Red!
Grab some radishes, beets, and pomegranates. A tip here: roasted radishes with chive mustard are totally underrated and absolutely delicious!
Orange foods?
Winter's actually prime time for orange foods! Think butternut squash, clementines, and sweet potatoes. My personal favorite? Homemade sweet potato fries - they're basically happiness in food form!
Hello Yellow!
Brighten up your day with sunny dishes like turmeric cauliflower meals - it's like sunshine on a plate!
Beautiful Blues and Purples
The best part? These foods aren't just pretty to look at - they're actually working double duty to keep you healthy and happy during these chilly months. It's like nature's own mood-lifting medicine, but way more delicious!
So next time you're feeling those winter blues creeping in, skip the boring beige foods and go for something with a bit more pop! Your mood will thank you.
