5 Delicious Food Finds to Celebrate National Nutrition Month

This post is sponsored by BabbleBoxx

It’s one of my favorite months of the year! Not only is it now officially Spring, but it’s also National Nutrition month! To celebrate, I’ve teamed up with my friends over at Babbleboxx to share some amazing, nutritious products, and there may even be a discount for you to enjoy along the way!

Coconut Secret Organic Coconut Aminos

If you are looking for a great soy and gluten free alternative to soy sauce without the MSG, I highly suggest giving Coconut Secret’s Organic Coconut Aminos a try! They have that great soy sauce-like taste with 72% less sodium. I love to use it as a 1:1 alternative for soy sauce in stir fries because it perfectly savory with a slightly sweet umami flavor. It’s also great for marinades, dips, or on its own!

Mighty Sesame Harissa Tahini

I’m a huge tahini fan, and Mighty Sesame’s Harissa Tahini is at the top of my list! Not only is it vegan, gluten free, kosher, and dairy free, but this tahini packs in the most delicious kick of roasted-chile pepper flavor. Iam obsessed with the convenient squeeze bottle. Just give it a shake and add it to your favorite dips, veggies, or meats. I personally love to use it as a salad dressing. It’s also packed with 7g of protein and 260mg of calcium per serving!

Minute Rice

Not only is Minute Rice super convenient (as the name says, it’s ready in a minute), it’s also super tasty and wholesome. It’s great for when you’re on the go or meal prepping, and sometimes I just like to whip up Minute Rice to go along with some leftover protein and veggies after a long day. I also love the variety of options. One day I can enjoy basmati and the next I can have the brown rice and quinoa, both of which are Non-GMO Project Verified, gluten free, vegan, and have no added preservatives. Plus, all of their cups are BPA-free and recyclable!

Nutiva Organic Classic Hazelnut Spread

Nutiva’s Organic Classic Hazelnut Spread has been a favorite of mine for years! It’s absolutely delicious and contains 40% less sugar than the leading brand. It’s also vegan, non-GMO, and rainforest and orangutan safe! I love to make little dessert tacos with the spread and fresh berries, and it’s also great on pancakes, waffles, and in a cozy bowl of oats. I’m getting hungry just thinking about it!

RECIPE 33

If you haven’t yet tried Recipe 33’s infused almonds, you are missing out! They’re truly brilliant - deliciously flavored almonds without the sticky, messy hands. RECIPE 33 developed a process to take real ingredients and infuse the flavor into each almond without the addition of any artificial additives or flavors. These almonds come in five delicious, unique flavors - black truffle, smoky serrano, garlic dill, lemon rosemary, and cinnamon vanilla. They’re perfect whether you’re enjoying them on the go, as part of a snack plate, or adding them to your favorite salad. You can use the code TryRECIPE33 here to get $2.00 off any 4oz bags.

Happy March, my friends! I can’t believe it’s March already, and we’re just a couple of weeks away from Spring. One thing that I love about this month (besides the warmer weather) is that it’s National Nutrition Month! And what better way to celebrate than by sharing some of my favorite new food finds with you all. My friends over at Babbleboxx were kind enough to send me a box of some delicious and nutritious goodies again this year, AND they have some great offers and discounts for you. So let’s get to it!

Action for Healthy Kids

IMG_4667.jpg

Action for Healthy Kids (AFHK) isn’t a “food product”, but it is an amazing organization! AFHK is a nonprofit that brings together educators and families to create healthier schools and communities that support the physical and emotional health of children. Through grant funding, programmatic support, online resources, and a parent ambassador network, they make an impact in schools and communities that need it most.

I’m at a huge fan of this nonprofit because they emphasize how important it is to teach healthy habits at an early age. Whether it’s the food kids are eating, their physical activity levels, or their mental and emotional health, Action for Healthy Kids realizes how essential it is to provide tools to address each of these important pieces of overall health.

According to a national survey by AFHK, 76% of parents say they have improved their own habits based on something their child told them about health and well-being. This program creates a trickle down effect where it isn’t only helping the children who are learning about health and nutrition in school, but it’s helping their entire family making it even more impactful and important. You can take action for your kids by joining the movement at www.actionforhealthykids.org/take-action. If you commit to Take Action for Healthy Kids by March 31, 2020, you’ll be entered to win a healthy taste test kit to host a fun and tasty nutrition education activity for students at your child’s school (valued at $175). To enter, just visit www.actionforhealthykids.org/win and fill out the challenge registration form.
