Spice up the holidays and boost your health with warm, bright spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. You can add further health benefits by combining those spices with foods like oranges and cranberries, or drinks like black tea. So, how will you add spice to the holidays this year?
Happy Thanksgiving! We hope you're having a wonderful, healthful, and stress-free holiday. And if the question of "what am I going to do with all of the leftovers from this meal?" is haunting you, then it's time to relax. We've got you covered. After all, leftovers can be some of the best parts of a Thanksgiving celebration.
Thanksgiving is perhaps the only time of year many families eat fresh cranberries. The cranberry growers estimate that 20% of their crop is eaten at the Thanksgiving holiday. Cranberries are high in fiber and vitamin C and contain just 25 calories per 1/2 cup of fresh berries. They are also low in sodium and a source of vitamins A & B, calcium, phosphorus, and iron. Packed full of antioxidants and other natural compounds, cranberries promote the prevention of urinary tract infections, gum disease and stomach ulcers. With all this great nutrition, shouldn’t we stop relegating them to just November?
MyPlate's summer message is to replace sugary drinks with water. There are tons of tasty ways to follow that advice, but one of our favorites is this delicious Cran Razzle Tea.
