Watch the video: https://lifeminute.tv/eat-and-drink/video/harvest-healthy-meals-fall Fall is a great time to get back into routines and set healthy habits. One of the best things you can do right now for your health is to prioritize regular family meals at home. By cooking at home, you save money and control what goes on your plate and in your food. Family meals have been shown to reduce stress, boost self-esteem, and make the whole family feel more connected. Here are some food buys to help you stay healthy this season. Eggland’s Best A quick and nourishing family breakfast can be a great way to start the day. You can even prep breakfast in advance so it’s not stressful in the morning. We love this wonderful little feta and tomato egg muffins using Eggland’s Best. Eggland’s Best’s hens are fed a strictly controlled proprietary, high-quality all-vegetarian diet, which results in a better-tasting, more nutritious egg that stays fresher longer. Compared to ordinary eggs, Eggland’s Best has 6x more vitamin D, 10x more vitamin E, 25% less saturated fat, and more than double the omega 3s. Cosmic Crisp Apples Another top tip is prioritizing seasonal produce. Only 10% of Americans eat enough produce, and we know fruits and vegetables are a huge cornerstone of a healthy diet since they provide an assortment of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Shopping in season can help you find nutritious options that taste great, but some fruits and vegetables are available year-round, like Cosmic Crisp Apples. Classically bred, the apples are non-GMO and have a beautiful, sweet-tart flavor. Since October is National Apple Month, it’s a great time to stock up on these for fall baking, snacking, and entertaining. You can find Cosmic Crisp Apples at grocery stores nationwide. Or visit their website, cosmiccrisp.com, for a store locator and some of these great recipes.
