Each season brings a certain type of food that people look forward to. With spring knocking on the doors of our Flagstaff, AZ, apartments, we're excited about the bright, fresh flavors that'll soon adorn the plates of people all over the city.
Are you looking for some spring-inspired recipes? We've found a few to get you started.
Spring Inspired Recipes
Spring Strawberry-Spinach Salad
Strawberries and spinach have been best friends for a long time, and it just so happens that both of them are at their best in the spring. This salad offers a great way to celebrate the season. For a bit of protein, add some diced chicken and almonds to the mix.
Apricot Pork Chops
Pork chops play quite well with the sweet taste that apricots provide. This recipe requires almost no prep time, but the final result will reflect restaurant-quality success. Serve it with a side of brown rice to round out the meal.
Honeydew Melon Gazpacho
It's time to retire your tired old lunch food in favor of real flavor that'll make your colleagues envious. This bright soup is a fun way to pack in some of the essential parts of the food pyramid. Because it's served cold, it's ready to be pulled out of the fridge and enjoyed whenever your lunchtime arrives.
Orange Beef Lettuce Wraps
Looking for an alternative to high-carb entrees? Orange beef lettuce wraps embrace the beloved citrus fruit in a way that's fairly guilt-free. Thanks to the fact that they're held together simply by leaves of lettuce, you can add an extra one to your plate without worry.
Pineapple Stuffing
Need a side dish that surpasses the standard stuff? Pineapple stuffing puts a bright twist on a traditional dish.

Spring wakes us up to new possibilities and what better way to toast those new chances than with a healthy smoothie? These colorful concoctions are beloved for providing vitamins, fiber, and nutrients to the drinker, without having to down piece after piece of fruit. If you're looking for the best spring fruit smoothies, then check out these recipes and get to sipping!
Blueberry Blast
Blueberries are notoriously known for being a spring fruit, so use up your extra ones this season in a blender. Try this simple recipe for a blast in the morning, and get your day started off right. Or combine them with other members of the berry family to switch it up a little bit, and add more dimension to your drink.
Grapefruit Gardens
Grapefruit is not known for being the best fruit to eat on its own, but the color and health benefits are undeniably attractive. Get your shot of pink with a grapefruit smoothie combined with kiwis (another spring fruit.) Apples are also excellent to sweeten up your grapefruit. Even though they're a fall fruit, you can probably get away with it just this once. Or celebrate spring's favorite color this year by adding some spinach for a grapefruit green smoothie.
Apricot Animation
Bring your apricots to life this year with a little help from the strawberry. This smoothie is a jolt of energy when you're wondering how Monday arrived so quickly. Grab this on the go or do it up right with a fun glass, garnish and straw. These little touches can make your smoothies even more enjoyable.
The apartments in Flagstaff are a great place to try new recipes and make them your own. If you're looking for the right kitchen to test out your next smoothie, check out Highland Village Apartments to see what we have to offer. Call us today to find out more about our available apartments!
