This is your monthly reminder that eating sustainably also means being aware of where your food is coming from in order to support your local food system. Keep this in mind as you shop for fresh produce and leafy greens this month, and look for foods in-season (because that means they were most likely sourced locally!).

Challenge yourself to think of your ingredients as what dictates your meals this month. Rather than looking for cool recipes to make, try to search for some root-vegetable recipes to enjoy! As fruits and veggies come into season, try experimenting with some freshly blended smoothies.
They’re a delicious and easy way to get all the fibre and nutrients you need. Save this post for your list of locally Ontario-grown produce during the month of May, and find some ways to incorporate these into your meal plans.
