    Published Mar 4, 2019 · Modified Jun 9, 2021 · by Alexis Joseph · 4 Comments

    The weather is gearing up for spring and that means it's time to enjoy some simple healthy recipes with my fave fruits and veggies.

    simple healthy spring recipes

    If you live in the Midwest like I do, you’re probably experiencing all sorts of seasonal confusion right about now. One day you’re thinking, OMG did spring arrive early this year?! to Why am I walking to work in Eskimo boots? the next. Ohio, why you gotta be like that?

    Luckily, I’ve got a list of oh, so delicious recipes that’ll make you feel on point, despite the seasonal blues. But first, what’s in season right now? Some of my absolute favorites, of course! You may notice that I use these ingredients ALL THE TIME when I’m cooking and baking in the kitchen.

    I like to use these seasonal ingredients pretty frequently in my recipes:

    • Artichoke
    • Asparagus
    • Avocado
    • Broccoli
    • Brussels Sprouts
    • Cabbage
    • Lemon
    • Sweet Potato
    • Apples
    • Strawberries
    • Maple Syrup

    Now that you know which delish fruits and veggies are in season, here’s a list of easy-peasy recipes from Hummusapien that you def need to try this spring.
