Happy 5th Birthday, MyPlate! From improving school nutrition to guiding families toward better health to introducing tons of fun meal ideas, USDA’s MyPlate certainly has lots to celebrate.
Five years ago, the USDA designed MyPlate to help families find healthy eating options, such as varying whole fruits and vegetables, switching up proteins and making half of our grains whole grains.
To mark this special occasion, we’re gifting you with some of our favorite recipes from the MyPlate Recipes Pinterest page that you can enjoy any time of the day!
Breakfast: We couldn’t think of a more delicious way to start the day than with a Garden Frittata.
Lunch: No sad desk lunches here. We’re partial to a Chicken Masala Wrap sandwich.
Dinner: Easy to prepare, and even better to eat. The whole family will love this Apricot-Rosemary Chicken Thighs With Roasted Almonds recipe.
Salad: Perfect to enjoy for lunch or dinner, we can’t resist this Grape and Hazelnut Salad.
Snack: Want a snack or dessert that’s refreshing, easy and delectable? It doesn’t get much better than this Watermelon Fire and Ice Salsa recipe.
