It’s officially spring… and that means spring sports are in full swing!

If you’ve got athletes at home, you know just how busy springtime can get. Between soccer, baseball, softball, and more, it can be hard to get dinner on the table every night. Furthermore, it can be tough to get a high-protein meal on the table! Active children need to eat plenty of protein after practice and games to encourage muscle recovery. We know it’s not easy, though, and that’s why we are here for you and your family this spring. We do all the shopping, chopping, prepping, and mopping so you can spend less time in the kitchen and more time cheering on your little athletes! Check out some of our easy high-protein meals on our April menu this month:
