We are still in the middle of winter and thank goodness this year has been very mild compared to the last few years when we had plenty of heavy snow. It almost feels like Fall sometimes and I hope it stays this way. I can’t wait for Spring!
But now that we’re talking about the weather and the changing seasons, I’m also excited to be partnering with Wonderful Halos once again! They’re the same company that introduced us to POM Wonderful and Wonderful Scarletts!
Wonderful Halos mandarins are in season right now through April and they’re just the perfect sweet, seedless, easy-to-peel snack time treat for the whole family! My kids enjoy them and I love the fact that these mandarins are all natural, non-GMO and are grown in California. They’re a healthy snack alternative and they also make a perfect addition to some of our delicious family-friendly recipes! Now to me, that’s a big win, especially when we are trying to stay healthy in the New Year!
And talk about getting healthy, I’m so excited to share with you a new recipe using Wonderful Halos mandarins!
Quinoa is hearty, healthy, and easy to make. Spoon it into a bowl and top it with Wonderful Halos mandarins, grilled chicken, cilantro, black beans, and savory chipotle lime vinaigrette for dinner or a packed lunch. Check out the delicious recipe below for Wonderful Halos Mandarin & Quinoa Chicken Bowls!
