This preparation of potatoes with methi (fenugreek leaves) comes from my mother-in-law. The aromatic and slightly bitter methi pairs perfectly with the spiced potatoes and crunchy cashews. If you can’t find methi, feel free to substitute cilantro or even spinach. Serve this Methi Batākā Nu Shāk by Sheil Shukla with Theplā or Khichadi.  Recipe from Plant-Based India: Nourishing Recipes Rooted in Tradition © Dr. Sheil Shukla, 2022.

Boost your workout routine this with this delicious and nutritious smoothie! This Strawberry Beet Cinnamon Smoothie by Claire Ragozzino is great for muscle recovery. Nitrogen-rich vegetables like beets help increase blood flow to the muscles which speeds up your recovery time and boosts your energy. The bananas contain potassium to avoid muscle cramping, the flax provides good fats loaded with heart-healthy omegas, hemp provides a small protein boost, and cinnamon helps the pancreas metabolize the sugar from the beets/fruit.

8. Lemon Cappelletti With Pistachio Cream

Cappelletti is like the little cousin to tortellini, since they’re smaller and folded slightly differently. The bright, citrusy flavor of the lemon with the pistachio cream is perfect for cappelletti because of its size and shape! I recommend making a double batch of this Lemon Cappelletti With Pistachio Cream by Brianna Claxton since they’re good even when you have them as leftovers.
