Eating Green for Earth Month: Fresh Ideas Inside

Every month should be Earth Month — and that means it’s the perfect time to look at what’s on your plate. 🌎

Small changes in what we eat can have a big impact on the planet. The good news? Eating sustainably doesn’t have to be complicated or expensive. It can start with something as simple as choosing local, seasonal produce — and making the most of every bite.

Here are some fresh, fun, and realistic ways to “eat green” this Earth Month (and beyond).

🥦 1. Choose Local & Seasonal
When you eat with the seasons, you’re not just getting better flavor — you’re reducing the energy it takes to transport food from faraway places. Our Fresh N’ Dish boxes are packed with seasonal produce sourced close to home, so your meals are fresher and more Earth-friendly.

Try it: This spring, look out for asparagus, spinach, lettuce, and radishes in your box — all grown close to home and full of flavor.

---
🍌 2. Reduce Food Waste (Starting in Your Fridge)
Almost half of all food waste happens at home — often because we forget what’s in the back of the fridge. Keep your produce visible and plan quick meals with the more perishable items first.

Try it: Turn soft bananas into smoothies, wrinkly tomatoes into sauce, or leftover greens into stir-fries. Ugly doesn’t mean inedible — it means it’s time to get creative!

---
🥗 3. Go Plant-Forward
Eating plant-based meals even a few times a week is great for the planet. It lowers your carbon footprint and gives your body a boost of fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants.

Try it: Create a meatless lunch bowl using roasted sweet potatoes, quinoa, cucumbers, greens, and avocado. Top with lemon-tahini dressing for a satisfying and sustainable meal.

### ♻️ 4. Ditch the Plastic
When prepping snacks or storing leftovers, skip single-use plastic. Instead, use glass jars, beeswax wraps, or silicone bags.

Try it: Store washed berries in a mason jar, or wrap that half avocado in a reusable wrap to keep it fresh (and pretty).

---
🍋 5. Make Every Bite Count
Instead of peeling everything, keep skins on when you can (like cucumbers, apples, or carrots). Not only does it reduce waste, but it also adds extra fiber and nutrients.

Try it: Roast carrot tops for a crisp snack or blend leafy stems into pesto. With the right recipe, you’ll forget you ever tossed them out before.
