Leading a healthy lifestyle is just as important as daily skin care when it comes to a gorgeous complexion. Healthy choice leading the pack? Maintaining a balanced diet. Below are a few of the seasonal superfoods you can enjoy this fall! 

Apples

While an apple a day won't necessarily put a doctor off, despite the timeless adage, it can give you a tasty (and seasonal!) snack option. Whether you're grabbing a fresh bite after a day in the garden or enjoying a seasonal smoothie, apples are one of the quintessential fruits of the season. Benefits include Vitamin C, Potassium, Fiber, Vitamin B6, Magnesium and more! Make a fall smoothie by mixing two apples with ½ teaspoon cinnamon, ½ cup Greek yogurt, ½ teaspoon honey, and ½ cup unsweetened almond milk.

Pumpkins

While pumpkins are practically the mascot of the season, pumpkins are more than a front door decoration. Both butternut squash and squash are rich in vitamin A! In addition, each of them contains potassium, vitamin C, iron, vitamin B6 and magnesium. Cut them into pieces and heat them in chicken broth with salt and pepper to taste until they are soft, then mix them together for a delicious soup recipe!

Sweet potato

Another vitamin A rich food is sweet potatoes. Roasted, mashed or baked sweet potatoes can be found on almost every dinner plate this fall! They also contain potassium, fiber, calcium, vitamin C, iron, magnesium, and vitamin B6. We love them mashed with a little cinnamon - who said you can have dessert for dinner?

Cranberries

Vitamin C is essential this time of year (flu season, anyone?) and we love getting it by munching on cranberries - antioxidants to win! Choose from fresh or frozen versions of these tangy berries and use them with a dash of lemon instead of summer blueberries for fruit muffins!

Brussels sprouts

Fashion Food Alert! Brussels sprouts are finally getting the love they deserve, appearing as a popular side dish on the menus of five-star restaurants across the country! Rich in vitamin C and vitamin K, Brussels sprouts are an incredibly versatile vegetable. Serve them sliced ​​in a salad or fried using the following recipe:

What you need: 

  • 15-20 Brussels sprouts, quartered
  • 1/2 cup raw pancetta, diced

  • Salt, pepper and garlic powder to taste

What are you going to do: 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F
  2. Heat 1/2 tbsp olive oil in a frying pan and heat up the pancetta, I add some garlic powder to the oil as it heats up and then some pepper.
  3. Spread the chopped sprouts evenly in a baking dish and drizzle with olive oil and truffle oil. Take the warmed pancetta and cream and spread evenly over the sprouts. Sprinkle the dish with grated Manchego cheese and season to taste.
  4. Bake for 30 minutes until the sprouts are soft and the cheese is melted.
  5. Sprinkle with pomegranate seeds and serve immediately.
