Here’s to another Sunday, seafoodies!
Mastered the holidays? Check. Rang in the New Year? Check. Did the hustle and bustle from holiday season zap your energy? Double-check! There’s so much joy this time of year, but with all the excitement and exertion of energy, don’t forget to take care of yourself. We have the perfect solution to refuel: protein-packed seafood. Today, we’re bringing you a lineup of delicious seafood dishes that will fuel you all week.
Almost everyone knows that protein is an important building block for a healthy body. Seafood not only helps your body (bones, muscles, cartilage, skin, heart, and brain), it’s also an incredible source of energy. Seafood is a go-to for people on-the-go (especially this time of year), or maybe those who are grinding hard at the gym for their new year’s resolution.
Because seafood pairs easily with many other nutrient-rich ingredients (hello omega 3 fatty acids), there are plenty of must-make protein-packed recipes out there to choose from. Don’t just take our word for it, both the Dietary Guidelines for Americans and the American Heart Association recommend 2-3 weekly servings (at least) of seafood. Ready for an energy boost? Let’s get cooking:
