Happy (Pizza) Pi Day!
Happy Pi Day, from our team to you! Pi Day is a celebration of π, a mathematical constant which has an approximate numerical value of 3.14159 (although the number is infinite). This holiday is always celebrated on March 14, because 3.14 are the first numbers of pi. It also officially begins at 1:59 p.m. to continue the pattern (...159). Fun, right? It also coincidentally falls on Albert Einstein’s birthday (although the number and Einstein have no direct connection). If I still don’t have your attention there, let’s talk about a kind of pi(e) that everyone loves—pizza pie! So, in honor of Pi Day, here are some delicious pizza recipes to help you celebrate. Bacon and Brussels Sprouts Pizza Bacon and Brussels sprouts are an unexpected, yet perfect pair. Throw them on a pizza together, and your life will be changed forever! We sautéed the Brussels sprouts in the bacon drippings, so they would soak up more of that bacon flavor we love. When we taste-tested this recipe, all of our coworkers loved it! Trust me—there won’t be any leftovers when you make this incredible pizza. Get the Recipe Peach and Prosciutto Pizza When it comes to pizza, I love to get creative. There are so many flavors and combinations to enjoy on chewy crust and this is one of my favorites. I like to hold off on this pizza recipe until peach season, because fresh, super sweet peaches are the key ingredient! The peaches pair perfectly with fresh basil, sharp asiago, and salty prosciutto. To complete this perfect pizza, we like to drizzle it with honey and balsamic vinegar! Get the Recipe Pesto Arugula Pizza I love pizza, but white crust and cheese just doesn’t do it for me. I like to have lots of toppings, and one of my all-time favorites is arugula. You might think that salad on top of a pizza is weird, but it adds veggies and a nice crunch. The arugula in this recipe especially adds a wonderful peppery flavor that pairs with pesto perfectly. Trust me on this one—it’ll become a new favorite! Get the Recipe Balsamic Strawberry Pizza I love all things pizza, and I especially adore trying unique topping combinations that create something entirely new and delicious. Fruit is often associated with dessert pizza, but it can definitely go on a savory pizza, too. This pizza has sweet, roasted strawberries, topped with a balsamic honey reduction. It’s perfect for summer and, trust me, it’s absolutely scrumptious! Get the Recipe Can’t get enough??

January Jumpstart: 14-day Meal Guide
The holidays have come and gone, and between the Christmas cookies and New Year's champagne, you've likely indulged in some tasty treats over the last few months. Well, 2019 has arrived, which means it's time to clean up our eating habits. We know how stressful and overwhelming meal planning and meal prep can be, so we've called upon our tried-and-true iFit dietitians to do the hard work for you! To get you started, they've put together a 14-day meal plan that's filled with delicious recipes. With our meal plan, each day's worth of food will land you at about 1,500 calories with lots of protein and fiber, so you will feel satisfied and satiated (and not hangry...we promise!) Even better, these recipes are all jam-packed with vitamins, nutrients, and a lot of delicious flavor. At iFit, we strongly believe that healthy eating does not have to mean bland and boring, so we promise that no limp broccoli or flavorless chicken breast will make an appearance in this guide! What you'll be getting is two weeks of balanced recipes that focus on whole foods, including fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins. We also included a weekly menu (with snacks), shopping lists, and recipes to make following this guide simple and easy. Our dietitians are also moms and know how important it is to eat together as a family. We don't want our clients making two dinners every night, so the recipes are family friendly. With items like Slow Cooker Beef and Broccoli, your family will be eating healthier and loving every bite. While this is a 2-week guide, we don't expect these recipes or this way of eating to be short lived. This is to help you practice meal prepping, balancing your meals, and making healthy snacking choices. You will also notice that we often use dinner leftovers as lunch the next day. This is a great practice to avoid food waste, money waste, and too much time in the kitchen—win, win, win! Whether you're a novice or an experienced cook, these recipes are easy to follow, healthy, delicious, and will be great additions to your recipe box.
