Here at Windward Vein, Heart and Medi Spa in Oahu, Hawaii, we are passionate about helping our guests achieve health and wellness from the inside-out. And the best way to do that is to adopt a heart-healthy diet—get plenty of whole grains, fruits, vegetables and fibers, and avoid too much processed food, sports drinks, sodas and animal products. We know it can be hard to find recipes that check all these boxes, so we’ve curated three of our favorites that are heart-healthy, easy to make, and most importantly, delicious. Read on!
