Happy New Year!
We love that Bountiful Baskets saves people lots of money, and that’s certainly a large part of our mission! AND… the value extends way beyond that. Are serious about making changes in how you eat? Take a look at these things:
Variety and Selection – We all have our favorites, but science shows that changing it up and getting a full complement of fruits and veggies really helps our health. There are different phytonutrients in each fruit and vegetable and they are each beneficial in their own way! We get local whenever we can, and that reduces our carbon footprint and gets you seasonal produce at its peak.
Timeline and Accessibility – Commitment to eat a basket a week, or one every other week, keeps you on track! It provides incentive to eating whole foods and reducing other not-so-nutritious snacks. If you want to see how much better you can feel, eliminate added sugar and processed foods in favor of fruits and vegetables!
Community and Accountability – Get involved at your site! The friendships and fun will keep you coming back and eating healthy. Having a social aspect to your changes will really help them stick! It’s nice to be part of a group is passionate about produce and can suggest recipes and fun ways to eat the variety you get!

Simple Fruit Water / Agua Fresca
Fruit water, or agua fresca, is so refreshing
and so easy!

Smoothie Freezer Kit
Fruits and veggies of your choice sliced and frozen on a baking sheet, then put into serving-sized bags. Grab, dump into blender with some liquid (water, fruit juice, milk of choice), blend, pour, and out the door you go!
Add protein powder if desired.
No added sugars! If you need it sweeter, try adding a drizzle of honey or soaked pitted dates!

Delicious sliced fresh and in smoothies, add to jams, and bottle chunks! Freezes beautifully for future smoothies or later processing.

Have you tried dehydrated pineapple? So easy and delicious! A perfect summer-y, sweet, and healthy snack at home or on the go.
My kids love Virgin Pina Coladas as a special treat, and they’re pros at making them – even my 8yo! Into the blender goes chunks of pineapple, coconut milk, and just a squeeze of lime. Add ice to make it a frozen dessert – No sugar or dairy required!
