Nine Healthy Sparkle Recipes
This week's theme is all about inspiring healthy eating through stories. Here at Sparkle, we like to go further than just tell a story; we like to give you something to connect you to those stories. That's where the Sparkle Kitchen comes in.
Meryl, our Sparkle Kitchen chef, and Lisabeth, our CEO, have been creating wonderful recipes to go along with David's stories and today we are sharing 9 of the healthiest ones with you.
