Spring Clean Your Diet

Spring Clean Your Diet: Refresh & Reenergize Your Nutrition

Spring is here, and just like we declutter our homes, it's the perfect time to refresh our diet (which, reminder, your diet is just what you eat in a day)! 🍽️ After months of hearty winter meals and maybe a little too much comfort food (no shame, babe, we all do it), now’s the time to lighten things up, refocus on nourishing your body, and step into spring feeling your best. ✨

🌱 Step 1: Clear Out the Clutter

First things first—let’s clean house!

Go through your pantry and fridge and get rid of anything expired, overly processed that you're not vibing with, or is no longer serving you. This doesn’t mean you have to throw away all the fun foods, but it’s a great opportunity to make room for more whole, nourishing options.

✅ Start in the pantry: toss expired items and collect what you won't use for donation. ✅ Do the same in the fridge: toss old condiments and anything questionable.

✅ Take note of what’s left—are you stocked up on the basics? What might you need to add to your grocery list?

✅ Organize so that healthier choices are front and center!

🍓 Step 2: Add Fresh, Seasonal Foods

Spring is full of vibrant, fresh produce that adds flavor and nutrients to your meals. Think bright greens, juicy berries, and crunchy veggies! Seasonal eating is not only delicious, but it also supports your body’s natural cravings for lighter, hydrating foods.

🛒 Spring Produce to Add to Your List:

🌿 Leafy greens (spinach, arugula, Swiss chard)

🍓 Berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)

🥦 Cruciferous veggies (broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts)

🥒 Hydrating foods (cucumber, celery, radishes)

🍋 Citrus fruits (lemons, oranges, grapefruits)

🧊 Frozen produce (fresh is great, but let's also make sure we've got healthy convenience available)

🥗 Step 3: Lighten Up Your Meals

Winter meals tend to be heavier, so now’s the time to swap out some of those rich, comforting dishes for lighter, nutrient-packed options.

Easy swaps to refresh your plate:

Creamy, heavy sauces → ✅ Fresh herbs, citrus, and vinaigrettes

Processed snacks → ✅ Fresh fruit, nuts, and homemade treats

White pasta → ✅ Zucchini noodles, quinoa, or chickpea pasta

Sugary drinks → ✅ Infused water, herbal teas, or sparkling water

🚰 Step 4: Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate

Your body has been in hibernation mode all winter, and it’s time to wake it up with proper hydration! Warmer weather means we naturally need more water to stay energized and keep digestion running smoothly.

💧 Aim for at least half your body weight in ounces of water per day.

💧 Try herbal teas or fruit-infused water for variety.

💧 Start your morning with a glass of water before coffee (your body will thank you!).

🌟 Step 5: Set a Simple Nutrition Goal

Spring cleaning your diet doesn’t have to mean a total overhaul—small, consistent changes add up! Pick one or two nutrition habits to focus on this season and build from there.

🔹 Example Goals:

✅ “I will add a serving of veggies to every dinner.”

✅ “I will meal prep snacks to avoid grabbing processed options.”

✅ “I will drink a glass of water before coffee.”

✅ “I will eat breakfast.”
