FOR $5 PER MONTH YOU WILL RECEIVE EACH WEEK 5 EASY TO MAKE RECIPES USING ONLY THE HEALTHIEST AND FRESHEST INGREDIENTS!
You will receive an organized shopping list, recipes and nutritional information based upon the food selection for that particular week of meal plan.
EACH MEAL PLAN CONSISTS OF:
1. A menu that is designed on the 80/20 principle, 80% of your families diet should come from the richest and highest nutritional foods. The other 20% can be whatever you like.
2. More color and variety in our fruits and vegetables. It's hard to argue with the health benefits of a diet rich in vegetables and fruits, it will lower blood pressure, reduce risk of heart disease, stroke and possible even some cancers; lower the risk of digestive problems too. Our menu has a variety of kinds and colors of produce, to give your body the mix of nutrients it needs. Best bets? Dark leafy greens, cooked tomatoes, and anything that's a rich yellow, orange, or red color.
3. Less red meat, and a variety of the healthiest proteins. Vegetable sources of protein, such as beans, nuts, and whole grains, are excellent choices, and they offer healthy fiber, vitamins and minerals. The best animal protein choices are fish and poultry, when we offer red meat we include the leanest cuts of red meat.
4. Healthy fats. Bad fats, such as saturated fats and trans fats, are guilty of the unhealthy things all fats have been blamed for—weight gain, clogged arteries, and so forth. But good fats such as the monounsaturated fats, polyunsaturated fats, and omega-3s have the opposite effect. We have replaced bad fats with good ones that promote health and well-being.
5. Whole foods or whole grains are your best source of micronutrients. They offer greater nutrition, essential fiber and protective substances like phytochemicals, antioxidants and more. They have not been highly processed nor do they contain synthetic, artificial or irradiated ingredients. Our menu offers creative and delicious recipes that even the most finicky eaters will like.
6. Fresh ingredients, no processed foods. Processed foods are any foods you find on the grocery shelves that are pre-made, packaged, and often contain chemicals, food dyes, preservatives, added fats, and added sugars.
7. Calcium rich foods. Calcium is one of the key nutrients that your body needs in order to stay strong and healthy. It is an essential building block for lifelong bone health in both men and women, as well as many other important functions. Dairy products are rich in calcium in a form that is easily digested and absorbed by the body. Sources include milk, yogurt, and cheese, dark leafy green vegetables, and an assortment of beans are another rich source of calcium.
8. Less sugar. Sugar causes energy ups and downs and can add to health and weight problems, especially in children.
9. Seasonal foods. Each week you will receive recipes based upon the season, why? So you and your family will receive the richest flavors and freshest foods that will follow the four seasons. Fresh, locally harvested foods have their full, whole flavors intact, which they release to us when we eat them, foods that are chilled and shipped lose flavor at every step of the way. Plus when produce is in season locally, the relative abundance of the crop usually makes it less expensive.
10. Limit salt. Most of us consume too much salt in our diets. Eating too much salt can cause high blood pressure and lead to other health problems.
