Welcome back to the Sprout for Health Challenge, a month-long challenge focused on helping you harness the benefits of superfoods like sprouts, microgreens, wheatgrass, and more! Remember, this challenge can be done at any time of the year and repeated as frequently as you feel is beneficial for your lifestyle and goals. Start now with week 2’s challenge items, or spring back to week one for more preparation and a full overview of the month-long challenge. Striving for good health is about more than what food you eat or how long you intentionally move your body. It's about living a life that allows you to move and accomplish your everyday goals, and this challenge is about helping you do just that. Join us today to Beak Out and Sprout into better health!
Break Out and Sprout Challenge:
Sprouting is a quick and easy way to start growing your own food. From protein-filled beans to antioxidant-rich greens, sprouts are ready to eat in as little as 3-7 days. What are sprouts? They are germinated seeds that are enjoyable to eat at the first stage of growth on a seed’s journey. Some of the most popular seeds to sprout include broccoli, radishes, lettuce, alfalfa, mung beans, peas, lentils, and so many more! To get started, all you need is some water, a jar, and a sprouting lid. Over the coming week, complete these challenge items to enjoy the many benefits sprouts have to offer while breaking out and sprouting into healthy habits.
1. Learn How to Sprout Or Teach a Friend
New to sprouting? No problem, True Leaf Market offers many resources to learn how to sprout, including our helpful sprouting guide. Download the free PDF version or purchase a hard copy to keep on hand. This guide walks through the different methods, steps, and helpful information for the most commonly sprouted seeds.
2. Try A New Sprout
Variety is the spice of life. If you are an experienced sprouter, don’t forget to mix things up every once in a while by trying a new sprout or sprouting seed mix. Feel like you have tried them all? We challenge you to create a new mix of your own! Don’t forget to share your experience online. Be sure to tag True Leaf Market; we would love to see what unique combinations you come up with.
3. Break Out and Spend At Least 15 minutes Outside Each Day
Day in and day out, we as humans love to stick to our same old habits. Try to break up the monotony by getting outside for some fresh air, sunshine, and a change of scenery each day. Just a few minutes out in nature daily can help reduce stress, boost your mood, improve concentration, and improve your well-being.
4. Set A Goal to Get Out and Get Gains on Good Habits This Year
The Sprout for Health Challenge is about more than checking off a few boxes for one month out of the year. It is about taking some time to consider what you need to thrive today, tomorrow, next month, next year, and onward. Consider what you can do to sprout into better habits and continue to build on for further gains and success in whatever it may be that you feel your life could benefit from.
