March Club Fx-Approved Meal Plan
The following article was written by Heinen’s Chief Dietitian, Melanie Jatsek RD, LD.
March is the month of spring, and if you’ve been dreaming of green pastures and above-freezing days, the recipes in this month’s Club Fx-Approved meal plan will make you smile because they are all made with leafy greens.
The first and most important Fx Pillar calls us to eat our greens, as many as we can every day. Here you will enjoy them blended in a breakfast smoothie, layered in a lunch salad, and incorporated into a tasty pesto sauce for dinner.
Your body will thank you…and I promise you won’t turn green!
