Weekly Meal Plan: Spring 2020

To help you plan your meals and prioritize seasonal, local ingredients, our friends at Colby-Sawyer College and Kearsarge Food Hub whipped up this guide! It provides breakfast and main course meal suggestions for every day of the week, plus side dishes, and includes a shopping list that features ingredients found at Sweet Beet Market this time of year.

Medline Plus: Healthy Recipes

These recipes show you how to prepare tasty, healthy meals that help you develop a healthy eating pattern. A healthy eating pattern includes a variety of fruits and vegetables, fat-free or low fat dairy, various protein foods, and oils. It also means limiting saturated fats, trans fats, added sugars, and salt. Try these recipes as part of your healthy lifestyle.

Plant Proteins

Are you trying to add more plant based proteins?  Check out these top picks to get more protein out of your plant-based diet.  

Prioritize hearty and savory plant-based proteins

You might think a plate devoid of meat is incomplete—questioning whether it will fill you up, be too expensive, give you enough protein, be lacking in flavor or texture, etc. If that’s been your experience, don’t be discouraged. Rather, it shares some simple strategies for creating filling, delicious, and even budget-friendly plant-based preparations.

HEALTHY LIVING TOOLKIT

The following are resources provided by the Colby-Sawyer Community-Based Research Class.  The Colby-Sawyer class partnered with Sweet Beet Market to bring you these easy to follow guides to a healthy (and local) lifestyle.
