Nutritious meals are an important goal for many families, but finding recipes that everyone will love isn’t always easy. From busy schedules to picky palates, the challenges are real. But introducing new, nutritious meals doesn’t mean we need to sacrifice flavor or fun. March is National Nutrition Month, the perfect time to introduce new meal ideas into your routine. Whether you want to incorporate more protein in your diet, need to follow a gluten-free plan, or are simply curious about healthier alternatives, there is one simple way to eat more vegetables without sacrificing taste: swap IN potatoes!

DID YOU KNOW?
A medium 5.3 oz skin-on potato is a nutrient-dense vegetable that has:

• Nearly 1/3 of your daily recommended Vitamin C.
• 620 mg of potassium, which is more than a banana (422 mg)
• 3g of protein, 2g of fiber, iron, and vitamin B6!

This segment features the following recipes:

• Roasted Potato Croutons – crispy, crunchy, and an easy way to boost a salad’s veggie count
• Hashbrown Toasts – swap in gluten-free hash browns for bread in sandwiches or toast
• Quiche – use hash brown shreds instead of pastry crust; it adds more protein and has less fat
