I was recently on CHCH Morning live chatting about spring meal planning featuring one nutrient-packed food that I want to encourage us all to incorporate into our diets.
One nutrient-packed food that is extremely versatile that I encourage you to incorporate into your spring meal planning is California Prunes #AD – Prunes contain nutrients that support heart health, such as fibre and potassium. Fibre promotes fullness and also supports healthy digestion. So many of us are not getting enough fibre, so this is a great food for it!
California Prunes are a great pantry staple. They serve as a great snack on their own, but they are also versatile –Prunes can be enjoyed whole, diced or pureed, and go well with proteins and grains; on salads and cereals; and in sauces and baked goods. I add them to many dishes, like the ones I’m sharing today.
Recipes include:
1. Carrot Cake Double Chocolate California Prune Baked Oatmeal
2. California Prune Sticky Tempeh Nourish Bowls
3. White Chocolate California Prune Protein Bars
4. California Prune Chocolate Avocado Protein Mousse
