Eat More Plants This Month: Celebrating National Fruits & Veggies Month with Honeyplate

September is National Fruits & Veggies Month—a time to highlight the vibrant, nourishing power of produce. At Honeyplate, fruits and vegetables aren’t just a side dish. They’re the soul of the meal.

From our roasted squash bowls to our tangy citrus-dressed kale salads, we lean into seasonal, local produce with every menu. And this month, we’re doubling down.

Why fruits and veggies deserve the spotlight:

• They support immunity, digestion, and energy

• They bring bold color and texture to your plate

• They help us stay grounded in what’s in season and what’s local

How we build produce-forward meals at Honeyplate:

• We source from local CT farms whenever possible

• We build bowls and entrees where vegetables are the star—not an afterthought

• We rotate our menu weekly to stay aligned with the harvest

This month’s produce-packed favorites:

• Harvest Bowl with roasted carrots, Brussels, and sweet potatoes

• Fajita Chicken Salad with peppers, greens, and lime crema

• Apple Cinnamon Oats made with local apples and spiced compote

• Chinese BBQ Chicken served with crispy stir-fried vegetables

Tips to eat more fruits & veggies this September:

• Add at least one veggie to every meal—breakfast included

• Swap one protein for a plant-based alternative each week

• Let seasonal ingredients inspire your choices

At Honeyplate, eating your veggies is never a chore—it’s a celebration.
