The weather is warming and flowers are blooming as spring finally makes its
way into our everyday life! There’s truly nothing better than integrating
bright, colorful spring flavors into your salads, side dishes, desserts, and
more. Here is your easy guide to the best superfoods this season:
Arugula: Full of antioxidants and packed with essential nutrients, including
vitamins A, C, K, folate, calcium, magnesium, and potassium, you can’t go
wrong by throwing in a handful of arugula to your salad or pasta dish. One
of our favorites is this
Arugula Salad with Peaches.
Asparagus: Asparagus is rich in potassium while being low in sodium, which
helps regulate blood pressure and prevent heart disease. This is an easy
ingredient to add into your week night dinner rotation for a heathy boost.

Salmon: This ingredient isn’t a surprise, as salmon has been a part of a
healthy lifestyle for decades. Salmon is an excellent source of omega-3
fatty acid which helps reduce inflammation, lower blood pressure, and
improve heart health. Add in another spring superfood, artichokes, and you
have
this tasty dinner!
Strawberries: One of the best health benefits of strawberries is that they
are a great source of fiber, which helps regulate blood sugar levels and
ease digestion. You can’t beat a strawberry shortcake on a spring or summer
day, but these
Strawberry Oatmeal Bars
look just as sweet.
