Seattle Sutton's Healthy Eating

05/24/2026

Asparagus is basically the overachiever of the produce aisle. 💅Around here, we love adding it to our recipes when we can because it’s one of those vegetables that does it all with its fresh flavor and nutrition packed into every spear.

Why dietitians give asparagus a big thumbs up:

• Rich in fiber to help support digestion and keep you feeling satisfied
• Naturally low in calories while still full of nutrients
• A good source of folate, which supports healthy cell function
• Contains antioxidants that help protect your body from everyday stress
• Provides vitamins A, C, E, and K for immune, bone, and overall health support
• Contains potassium, which helps support healthy blood pressure
• High water content helps support hydration during the warmer months

Plus, asparagus is one of those classic seasonal vegetables that just tastes like summer. Whether it’s roasted, grilled, tossed into pasta, or paired with lean proteins, it brings fresh flavor to every plate.

At 94, our founder, Seattle Sutton, attributes her health and longevity to eating our meals to this day! But just as important to a healthy diet is staying active; a simple stroll can do more than you know.

Walking is a simple way to reap many health benefits and feel great. It can improve our health on many levels: physically, mentally, emotionally, and socially. As the sun begins to shine and the weather starts to warm up, it is the perfect time to lace up those walking shoes and walk your way to better health.

Without bees, your favorite foods like apples, almonds, berries, and broccoli would "bee" 🐝 in serious trouble. Every colorful salad, juicy fruit bowl, and veggie-packed dish is a tribute to their tireless work!

💛🖤💛 We don't just love bees; we honor them. By sourcing responsibly and supporting natural ecosystems, we help protect the pollinators that make healthy eating possible.

Enjoy these bee-yond impressive facts about bees shared by our dietitian/beekeeper Miranda!

When life gets busy or overwhelming, usually one or two things fall to the wayside to make space for more pressing things. And somehow, the things that help us feel our best are usually first on the chopping block. 🙃

It can feel like you’re letting yourself down when you stop prioritizing activities you know are important. Luckily, our friend and fellow dietitian, Alyssa Smollen, MS, RDN, CDN, has some helpful tips for when you’re way too busy or feeling burnt out.

"I love is how fresh everything tastes. These are real, freshly prepared meals with actual fruits, veggies, and salads, and there are no artificial preservatives. It doesn’t feel like 'diet food,' it just feels like solid, healthy eating that’s already done for you." – 👩‍⚕️Nurse Shannon, RN
