🍄🍄🟫 Today is National stuffed mushroom day! 🍄🟫🍄 Stuffed mushrooms can be made with all sorts of tasty fillings, like plant-based cheese, herbs, spinach and artichokes. Or try stuffing them with quinoa and chopped bell peppers, then drizzle them with olive oil and add salt and pepper to taste. Mushrooms are pretty special because they're packed with nutrients and can be a great addition to a healthy diet. They’re low in calories, fat-free, and a good source of fiber, protein, and antioxidants. It's a great way to enjoy some veggies in a super tasty way! #RootedSantaBarbara

EAT YOUR VEGGIES! They’re a great source of minerals, vitamins, fiber, antioxidants, AND they’re low in calories. There are lots of easy ways to sneak more veggies into your meals! You can: 🥬 Add spinach or kale to your morning smoothie 🍅 Toss some extra veggies into your pasta sauce 🧅 Make veggie-packed soups and stews 🍚 Swapping out regular pasta or rice for veggie alternatives like zucchini noodles or cauliflower rice 🫛 Roasting a big batch of veggies at the start of the week makes it easy to add them to any meal. And don't forget about snacking on raw veggies with hummus or your favorite dip!

Another great soup to celebrate soup month is a creamy tomato basil soup. Just cook down some tomatoes with onions and garlic, then blend it all up with fresh basil and a splash of coconut milk. Making a fresh tomato soup can be an easy way to add tomatoes to your diet. Tomatoes are a great source of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that promote healthy skin and eyes, boost your immunity, and help improve bone health. So tasty and nutritious!

Yum! We love a creamy roasted cauliflower soup. Just roast some cauliflower, garlic, and onions, then blend them with vegetable broth and your choice of plant-based milk. It’s super smooth and delicious. Enjoy! Fun facts: Cauliflowers contain antioxidants that help reduce inflammation. They’re high in fiber, which helps with digestion and their low caloric content can aid in weight management. #RootedSBC #RootedSantaBarbara #PlantBased #EatMorePlants #PlantForward #Investment #Resources #SantaBarbara #Goleta #Montecito #Solvang #SantaYnez #SantaMaria #Lompoc #Carpinteria #CuyamaValley #Fruits #Vegetables #EatHealthy #BalancedDiet #Cook #Nutritious #WholeFoods #Seasonal #Produce #Fresh #FreshEating #SoupMonth #Butternut #Soup

Our Vision Starts With You It’s been an exciting five years at Rooted, linking arms to ensure that you and our neighbors across our county have access to every option for care and the healthiest choices are accessible, enjoyable, and part of everyday life. Picture a Santa Barbara County where families are healthier, living longer, and fully supported. Neighbors share meals that nourish their bodies and strengthen their connections. An environment where everyone can access nutritious food, good health, local farms thrive, and sustainability is woven into daily life. Where better health eases the burden on our healthcare system and reduces the financial and emotional strain of chronic disease. Together, we’re building towards a community that is stronger—mentally, physically, fiscally, and environmentally. This vision starts with you. Your well-being is our why. Health isn’t just personal—it’s about all of us. When we feel good, we can support our families, contribute to our communities, and thrive together. This work isn’t easy, but it’s essential. Will you join us? https://lnkd.in/g-uYmKGN
