Many people know that vegetables are healthy…but why? Of course, vegetables are full of vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients (special plant nutrients) that help keep your skin, eyes, heart, brain and body healthy. Even more impressive?  Recent studies indicate that incorporating more plant-based foods, like vegetables, can help you maintain a healthy weight and help you reduce your risk of diet-related diseases such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and strokes. Plant-based food items are often budget-friendly, and they add a variety of nutrients to your diet, too (1).

Try adding more plants to your diet with this easy grill recipe! This summer grilling idea will give your backyard lunch or BBQ dinner some color, flavor and lots of healthy nutrients…and cleaning up is a breeze, too!
