FALL FINDS
- Butternut Squash Ravioli – opt for this instead of the pumpkin which has seed oils, fructose and sugar.
- Meal Pairing: Add grass fed butter + fresh organic sage as a sauce, and organic little gem lettuce with the green goddess dressing.
- Organic Fall Zucchette Pasta – only two ingredients: organic durum wheat semolina + organic butternut squash.
- Meal pairing: Opt for the organic vodka sauce here on top as opposed to the autumn harvest sauce which has a lot of added cane sugar. Pair with a Caesar salad with the vegan caesar dressing!
- Pumpkin Bisque Soup – minimal ingredients and uses olive oil instead of seed oils. Opt for this over the Autumn Harvest Soup which has a lot of added cane sugar.
- Meal Pairing: Top with a dollop of Greek yogurt to increase protein, a piece of Ezekiel toast, and pair with a little gem salad + green goddess dressing.
- Organic Maple Butter – only one ingredient: organic maple syrup. Opt for this instead of the Pumpkin Butter (9g added sugar) or Cinnamon Bun Butter (6g added sugar from tapioca syrup, and has natural flavors).
- Meal Pairing: Add to a piece of sprouted Ezekiel toast (easier on digestion), and top with cottage cheese and blackberries for a high protein breakfast toast!
- Apple Cinnamon Pouches (for kids) – only two ingredients: organic apple + organic cinnamon. And $2.99 for 4!
- Meal Pairing: Pair with some yogurt or raw cheddar for protein!
- Butternut Squash Macaroni & Cheese – not perfect ingredients but is seed oil free, no natural or artificial flavors. 23g protein per container + 4g fiber!
- Meal Pairing: Pair with a caesar salad with organic romaine and the vegan caesar dressing.
- Pumpkin and Apple Overnight Oats – these are great for mornings where you’re in a hurry. Pumpkin has 5g protein and Apple has 6g – sweetened with dates instead of sugar. I wish they were organic but they’re a good option for busy weeks! And at a $1.99 price point it makes it a steal. My favorite flavor in terms of macros is definitely the peanut butter with 12g protein!
- Meal Pairing: Enjoy with 2 hard boiled eggs and try adding some fresh fruit on top of the oats, and optional: Greek yogurt and chia seeds!
- Roasted Cauliflower & Orzo – not perfect ingredients (wish it was organic) but a delicious and easy side dish full of nutrient variety.
- Meal Pairing: Pair with the Sun-dried Tomato Chicken Strips or Pesto Chicken for a complete meal!
