Fresh Energy for Spring: Simple Meal Ideas to Feel Your Best

One of the first signs of spring in my area is a flower called a crocus. Every year, I keep my eye out for one, knowing that once I see the first bloom, hundreds more will appear in the weeks that follow. It always feels like a quiet little promise that brighter days are just around the corner.

There’s something about spring that feels like a fresh start. The longer days, the blooms appearing out of nowhere, the sense that life is waking back up. Just like the season, your meals can reflect that same burst of energy—lighter, brighter, and full of fresh flavors that leave you feeling good and energized.

But let’s be honest: even in spring, life stays busy. Between work, family, and everything else, eating well often feels like an afterthought. That’s where meal prep can be a game-changer—not as another task on your to-do list, but as a way to make life easier while nourishing yourself and your family.

It’s possible to uncover these hidden reasons behind your fatigue and make simple changes that can help you break the cycle of exhaustion.
