For today’s post, I wanted to talk a bit about spa cuisine, since I’m focusing on extra flavorful and fresh eats the next week. Spa cuisine is typically made up of fresh, local, seasonal, or organic ingredients that are presented in a simple yet colorful way. They tend to focus on quality rather than quantity, and are not only nutrient-dense but also packed with flavors. You’ll often see lots of fresh produce, herbs, and citrus in spa meals.

The spa experience is about being more mindful of your personal wellness, with treatments that leave you feeling lighter and refreshed. Spa cuisine takes it a step further by nourishing your body from the inside. Fortunately, you don’t have to spend a day at the spa to enjoy these carefully crafted dishes. Today, I’m sharing a roundup of spa cuisine recipes that you can easily recreate anytime.

Many of these recipes are also gluten-free and dairy-free.
