Spring has officially entered the chat, and with it comes one of the most delicious times of the year: brunch season. As the days grow longer and brighter, many of us feel inspired to hit refresh in all areas of life. We’re cleaning out closets, stepping outside more often and rethinking what’s on our plates.
Here are three fresh, better-for-you spring brunch ideas that deliver on both flavor and nutrition.
These egg bites are light, fluffy and protein-packed. The sundried tomatoes and basil give them a pop of Italian flavors. They’re beautiful on a brunch table, yet easy to make ahead and be consumed on the go or popped into a lunchbox.
Avocado toast gets an upgrade with the addition of street corn-inspired toppings. Think toasted corn, a sprinkle of cheese, a squeeze of lime and a touch of spice layered over creamy avocado and bread. Avocados are rich in heart-healthy monounsaturated fats and fiber, helping keep you full and satisfied. Corn adds natural sweetness along with fiber and essential vitamins, while lime juice and spices enhance flavor without excess sodium or fat.
This fresh spring salad is everything we crave when the seasons shift - bright, crisp and bursting with garden flavor. Blanched sweet snow peas, sugar snap peas and peas come together with a zesty lemon garlic dressing that ties it all together with just the right amount of punch.
Finished with fresh herbs, briny capers and a generous shower of parmesan, this salad strikes the perfect balance between fresh and savory. It’s simple enough for a weeknight side dish, yet elegant enough to serve at a spring gathering.
