It is sometimes easy to throw away foods without thinking twice, but we hope these tips will encourage you to look at the perishables in your kitchen with a more deliberate eye...

Strawberry Banana Soft Serve

This dish is a great way to use up berries that are not as pretty as the others (but are still delicious!). Tofu is an amazing protein source that can be used to thicken smoothies in place of milk or yogurt. It’s also the secret ingredient in this delicious, plant-based “soft-serve ice cream."

Beet Chicken Salad Sandwiches

This recipe makes use of both the beets and beet greens. If your beets did not come with the greens attached, feel free to substitute a bunch of kale. For a super easy shortcut, you can also try substituting a can of beets for the roasted beets.
