Spriiiiiing! Hello!

It’s the season to lean into vibrant produce: crisp greens, tender herbs, juicy strawberries, and all the crunchy, colorful things.

If you’re new here, welcome. (:

I’m a nutrition consultant and mom of two, on a mission to help you eat well without the stress or overwhelm. At the root of it, that’s why I started Daily Deposits—to simplify nutrition and make healthy habits feel doable, not daunting. I believe that small, consistent choices (like the recipes in this post!) are what lead to lasting energy, better digestion, and a well-nourished life.

Daily Deposits by Edie Horstman is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.

To bring a little creativity to your kitchen—and color to your table—I’m sharing 10 of my favorite high-fiber, high-protein spring recipes. They’re made with seasonal ingredients (of course!), but don’t require hours in the kitchen or put a dent in your wallet.

Whether you’re a weekly meal prepper, snack grazer, or a mom trying to get dinner on the table in less than 30 minutes, there’s something here for you.

On the menu:

  • Spring Veggie Frittata with Chickpeas and Goat Cheese

  • Lentil and Quinoa Tabbouleh with Fresh Herbs

  • Greek Yogurt Chicken Salad Lettuce Wraps

  • Green Pea and Edamame Pesto Pasta

  • Chia and Hemp Overnight Oats with Berries

  • Spring Buddha Bowl with Tempeh and Roasted Veggies

  • White Bean + Artichoke Toast

  • Strawberry Cottage Cheese Parfait

  • Smashed Chickpea + Avocado Salad Sandwich

  • Spring Pea Soup with Crispy Tofu Croutons

Fiber + Protein: The Dream Team

Right now, protein is having a major moment. And we love that for her! Protein is essential for building lean muscle, balancing hormones, supporting metabolism, and keeping you full and focused. But let’s not forget the unsung hero we need to pay equal (if not more) attention to: fiber.

Before we get cooking, I’ll explain why these two nutrients work best together—and why they should be the foundation of your meals.
