Protein-Packed Pumpkin Pie Smoothie

Pumpkin pie season doesn’t have to end when the holiday season ends. This recipe provides all the hearty and comforting ingredients you crave, year-round! All you need to do is stock up on some pure pumpkin puree. Pureed pumpkin is relatively mild in flavor, which allows other healthy ingredients, like pineapples, peaches, and cinnamon to really shine. Unlike your typical pumpkin pie, this recipe is high in protein, fiber, and healthy fats that make this smoothie a delightful reminder of the holidays without all the guilt!

Salmon Burgers

We love serving these juicy salmon burgers on a bun, but they’re also great over salads, grain bowls, and other savory favorites. We recommend using an air fryer to get the burgers extra crispy, but you can also pan-fry or bake them for similar results.

3 Sisters Wild Rice Salad

The “three sisters” this dish refers to are corn, squash, and beans. In a technique originating from Northeastern Native American tribes, the three crops are planted together so the corn stalk provides support for the climbing bean plant, while the squash spreads horizontally to cover and protect the soil. The “sisters” also complement each other nutritionally, offering complex carbohydrates, fiber, protein, and a host of phytonutrients in every bite.
