Since 1973, the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics has designated March to celebrate National Nutrition Month where healthcare providers highlight the vital role of nutrition in overall health. This year’s theme is Discover the Power of Nutrition, which reminds us that food is powerful and influences all aspects of our overall wellbeing. Nutrition not only has the power to fuel our bodies but also the power to prevent and heal. The nutrients provided in lean protein, whole grains, healthy fruits, and vegetables can help provide energy, stabilize blood sugar, boost immunity, increase mental clarity and decrease the risk of heart disease.

March Madness isn’t just about buzzer-beaters and busted brackets — it’s also a full-on celebration of your classic game-day snacks. This year we’re giving those classics a little twist, think of all the comfort and crowd-pleasing flavor you expect, with smarter, healthier twists. Our recipes lighten up your favorite game-day snacks by cutting back on unhealthy fats while boosting protein, so you stay satisfied longer without sacrificing flavor.
