Let’s Talk Sprouts! During the winter months it can be tough to source local + organic greens, and we all know the disappointment of buying a container of greens at the grocery store only to have them go bad in a matter of days Choosing nutrient dense options such as these sunflower sprouts packs a ton of nutrients - calcium, iron & folate to name a few - as well as a great source of protein & fat. Growing sprouts can be easily done at home, or leave it to your local f...armer {my fav is @abundantacresns} to do the growing for you! #iohealth #eatrealfood #eatyourgreens See more

Apple Crumble, anyone? I’m not usually a baker, and if I’m being honest it’s mainly because I have a strong dislike for following a recipe So, I made my own!
