15 Best Healthyish Spring Recipes

Written By Leanne Ray, MS, RDN March 4, 2026

All of the best healthyish spring recipes you should add to your line-up this month! In this roundup you’ll find a little bit of everything: breakfasts and snacks, easy spring dinners and even a seasonal cocktail.


Spring is quite possibly the most inspiring time to be a home cook. After months of short days, colder weather and limited fresh produce options, it sure feels good to see some strawberries and asparagus front and center at the grocery store again!

I love letting seasonal fruits, vegetables and herbs inspire my meal plans around here. If you could use a little color and vibrance in your diet as we head into March, use this list as a starting point!
