GREEN BEANS: The mood-boosting pods of happiness! 🫛

These crisp veggies are packed with FOLATE that helps your brain produce serotonin and dopamine - your natural "feel-good" hormones!

Recipe ideas:
- Toss green beans with olive oil and parmesan, then roast them into crispy “green bean fries” kids can dip in ketchup
- Chop green beans and add them to mini quiches
- Sauté green beans with mild teriyaki sauce and sesame seeds

MUSHROOMS: The ultimate flavor enhancer! 🍄

Did you know? They're the ONLY vegetarian source of vitamin D on the planet - while 1 BILLION people worldwide suffer from vitamin D deficiency!

Mushrooms contain minerals like selenium, copper, and potassium, which support immunity, metabolism, and healthy nerves. Fun fact: Some varieties of mushrooms can glow in the dark!

Enjoy them sautéed with garlic and olive oil, roasted for a savory side, blended into soups for creamy texture, or added to pasta, stir-fries, and omelets!

KOHLRABI: The Vitamin C Powerhouse That Outshines Oranges!

Did you know? This quirky bulb packs MORE vitamin C than oranges - making it nature's secret iron absorption enhancer! Kohlrabi also contains potassium, which supports healthy blood pressure and proper muscle and nerve function, as well as magnesium and calcium, which are important for bone health! 🦴

Roasting kohlrabi cubes with a little olive oil and mild seasoning brings out natural sweetness that kids love. You can shred it raw into slaws for sandwiches or tacos, or layer it in baked casseroles for added texture and nutrition. For a playful twist, try making kohlrabi “fries” by cutting it into sticks, lightly seasoning, and baking until crispy!!
