March is here, and so is fresh spinach in the local market.

Spinach and pineapple pair beautifully in a bright, refreshing spring smoothie.

Oatmeal and cashew add body and creaminess, turning this smoothie into a more complete and satisfying drink. A touch of cinnamon gives it a warm finish, though vanilla works just as well.

Avocado, cashews, and lemon blend into a smooth, creamy sauce, while gently simmered garlic and freshly ground pepper give the dish its character.

Olive oil may not be the first ingredient that comes to mind when you think of granola, yet it blends quietly into the mix, adding healthy fats and a gentle richness without heaviness…

Grilled peppers and cherry tomatoes bring smokiness, gently simmered carrots and onions add sweetness, while avocado and pine nuts make the sauce rich and creamy. A touch of lemon zest adds freshness sending your thoughts to the late summer days.
