Add Fresh Herbs
Fresh herbs add an incredible boost of flavor while at the same time delivering extra health benefits with every bite!

Cilantro is great for circulation, basil is high in antioxidants and green onions are a great source of Vitamin K! All 3 are full of chlorophyll, reducing inflammation in the body. PLUS, they add that burst of flavor to any entrée dish.

Superfoods = Super YOU!
Superfoods make a simple garnish and can deliver functional nutrition for each meal. For example, hemp seeds add 14 grams of protein in just 1 tablespoon! But did you know cinnamon, raw cacao and turmeric are also superfoods and make a great addition for sauces, soups and desserts?

Finish Your Dish with Oil
Olive, avocado, hazelnut and cold press sesame are all examples of oils you can use to "finish" a dish. Raw, cold-pressed oils add a dose of healthy fats and can help balance out your flavor profiles. One easy way to give this a try is to steam your vegetables and add a drizzle of finishing oil plus a little lemon right before serving. 

Thin Out with Citrus 
Talk about an extra pop of flavor! Lemon and lime can provide a delicious enhancement to your next salad, taco plate or stir fry! Plus these citrus juices also work to alkalize your body, reducing inflammation!
