Healthier Black-Eyed Peas

February is American Heart Month and Black History Month—honor both by making a heart-healthy version of a traditional African American dish. These black-eyed peas are high in fiber, calcium, and vitamins A, K, and C. Don’t forget to pair with our healthy sautéed collard greens.

Moon Milk

Have you heard of moon milk? It’s an old Ayurvedic remedy for sleep. (Ayurvedic medicine is a whole-body approach that was developed in India thousands of years ago.) It contains several anti-inflammatory herbs and spices, along with a natural adaptogen called ashwagandha, which helps calm the body. This warm drink is all about positive energy and balance in the body!

Mexican Kale Salad

Using a rotisserie chicken makes this salad a snap to put together. It’s easiest to shred the meat when it’s warm but not hot. If using directly from the rotisserie, let the chicken cool until you can handle it; if pulling the chicken out of the refrigerator, reheat it slightly in the microwave. To serve this dish as a starter or side salad, simply leave out the chicken and serve smaller portions.
