Happy ! Our nutrition lead, , is totally FALLing for this season’s produce, especially all of the squash! 🍠⁠
⁠
We love all of the squash this season has to offer, but we thought we would focus on one of the standout fall stars, Butternut squash. ⁠
⁠
Butternut Squash is loaded with micronutrients and is a wonderful way to get your vitamins in. We’ve integrated butternut squash into a handful of our fall dishes to promote seasonal eating, and the benefits that squash has on your health:⁠
⁠
🦴 Promote Bone Health ⁠
Butternut Squash has lots of naturally occurring manganese which helps the body maintain healthy bone structure, calcium absorption, and improves the mineral density of the spinal column. Additionally, vitamin C takes part in the production of collagen, which is important for building bone mass.⁠
⁠
👁 Linked to Improved Eyesight ⁠
Squash is loaded with vitamin A, zeaxanthin, and lutein, which are all incredibly important for protecting and improving eyesight.⁠
⁠
💪 Skin Protection⁠
A study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found links between Vitamin C and skin aging. Squash contains high levels of Vitamin C and this study examines higher intakes of the vitamin and the correlation with a lower likelihood of wrinkles and dryness.⁠

As we continue to grow as a company we are always looking at ways to improve our processes, our service, and of course our food. To that end, we've brought in Anneka Miller, our new in-house nutrition consultant who has been hard at work behind the scenes to make sure our dishes are as healthy and nutritious as possible. We are so excited to incorporate some healthy tweaks to our menu! Some of these changes include:

🧂Reduced Sodium — All of our dishes now contain less than 750 mg of sodium (which is less than 30% of your Daily Value) Some of you might feel like our dishes have become a bit lighter in flavor as a result. If you are still looking for an extra kick, we are including Secret Seasoning Blend to every order. This way we're ensuring a health-conscious base meal and allowing you to customize for your own personal taste.

🍽Standardized Portions — We’ve taken the time to standardize our portions for the well-being of our customers and to ensure we are in line with industry best practices. By re-portioning our dishes, we are minimizing food waste and ensuring each dish you eat is nutritionally balanced while still being packed with flavor.

❤️ Heart-Healthy Swaps — We’ve reduced the saturated fat content in many of our dishes to help keep your heart healthy and to leave you feeling energized after your meal. We are continually looking to offer more plant-based and healthy-yet-hearty dishes to our menu!

We are very excited about these changes and know you will be as well. Head on over to our stories to ask Anneka any questions you might have and to learn more 👉🏻

If there is anything we are going to miss about Summer, it is the seasonal watermelon 🍉 from our local farm friends over .

Watermelon is a great source of lycopene, an antioxidant that you might mostly correlate with tomatoes (check out our tomato highlight!). Along with the lycopene, watermelon is high in Vitamin C.

From keeping our immune system strong, to helping combat asthma and keeping our skin healthy, getting daily vitamin c needs met is important.

It’s time to squeeze the day! 🍋

🤲🏻 This year we are joining Nourish Our City, a month-long fundraiser that celebrates Meals on Wheels Chicago’s Birthday!

💌 When we met up with the team over at Meals on Wheels Chicago, we had the opportunity to write Love Notes that are included in each delivery bag. The Love Notes Program was implemented to help brighten someone’s day! Volunteers create thousands of handmade cards each month that are delivered along with meals to seniors.

“Loneliness is common for our clients with 84% telling us their delivery driver is the only social interaction they have all week. The pandemic has only made the isolation worse. Handmade cards are a great way to remind seniors they aren’t alone! We are so grateful to the volunteers that help us deliver smiles and nutritious meals to our clients.” – Elise Geiger, Executive Director Meals on Wheels Chicago

From now through the end of September we have added a Donation Entrée that you can add to your cart using the Eat Purely app or on our website. Meals on Wheels Chicago greatly appreciates your generosity! ♥️

If you are interested in creating a love note, please email [email protected]!
