Winter Wellness: 5 Easy Recipes To Make At Home

As winter creeps in and temperatures drop, it's important to stay mindful of our health and wellness. One way to do this is by incorporating nourishing recipes into your daily life that are both comforting and beneficial to your overall well-being. From a nutrient-rich winter salad and comforting, yet oh-so-simple dessert to a blend of wintry essential oils to try in your diffuser—we've rounded up five of our favorite recipes that you're sure to love all season long.

matcha latte

Matcha Latte

It’s possible that a perfect substitute for hot chocolate exists in the very first recipe on our list this year—the matcha green tea latte from our friends at Everyday Health. Vibrantly beautiful thanks to the green color of the matcha powder, it adds the perfect pop of color to your cup that helps break up the gray mornings of winter.

Bonus: Unlike coffee, matcha (green tea) is often celebrated for its various health benefits, making this a guilt-free treat to add to your wellness routine.

squash casserole

Not to mention, it’s delicious and so, so satisfying—you’d hardly believe it’s packed with a lot of nutrient-rich ingredients.

Winter Salad

Not only is this winter salad beautiful to look at but it’s also a satisfying mix of sweetness, tanginess, and crunch. Packed with healthy ingredients like spinach, red apples, pomegranate, and walnuts, it’s also topped with bits of savory pancetta and creamy Gorgonzola cheese that give it a satisfying punch of flavor.

baked pears

Baked Pears

There’s something about pears that just says “winter.” We love that this recipe takes a seasonal classic out for a spin with this simple, delicious, and somewhat healthy take on dessert. Dare we mention that it’s also vegan-friendly, uses only four ingredients, and is super easy to make? Give it a try—and let us know what you think.
