Easy, Healthy Fall Recipes

| | | | | | | |

Fall is here & I’m celebrating with three easy, healthy recipes. First we’re making butternut squash pizza which is packed with vitamins, minerals and is so colorful! Next we’re making root veggie fries which are the perfect comfort food made without the guilt! Next we’re enjoying grilled pears with maple pecans which are full of flavor!

For all of my recipes today I’m using Thrive Culinary Algae Oil, which I’ve shared about in past videos. I’m a big fan of algae oil because of it’s nutritional highlights, it’s high smoke point making it perfect for cooking at higher temperatures & it’s mild delicious flavor which works great in so many dishes. I’ll be sharing with you more reasons why I love algae oil in the video! Also big thanks to Thrive Culinary Algae Oil for being our Sponsor for today’s video!

Why I Love Thrive Culinary Algae Oil

NUTRITION HIGHLIGHTS: Algae oil has the highest level of Monounsaturated fats (the good fats) compared to other common cooking oils such as olive or canola. The average person only meets half their recommended daily intake for MUFAs.

Algae oil also has only 0.5 grams of saturated fat per serving which is lower than olive & canola oil. Studies have shown that most people consume 50% more saturated fat then recommended daily.

Clinical studies have shown that there can be cardio-metabolic (heart healthy) benefits of replacing saturated fats with mono-unsaturated fats such as helping to maintain heart health, supporting healthy blood pressure & helping to control inflammation.

GREAT TASTING: Algae oil does not have a strong dominating flavor, instead it brings out the natural taste of foods!

BETTER FOR COOKING: Algae oil has a high smoke point, which means it can better withstand hot temperatures & maintain it’s nutritional value.
