Why are nuts in most of LeafSide’s meals?

Thank you for your interest in LeafSide!

At this time, all of our meals, except the Blue Brilliance Smoothie, Creamy Potato Leek Soup, Goji Peach Paradise Sweet-Bowl, Lentil Tomato Pasta Savory-Bowl, Madras Curry Savory-Bowl, Thai Veggie Noodle Savory-Bowl, and Tropical Bliss Smoothie, include nuts because we follow Dr. Greger’s Daily Dozen guidelines. He recommends 1/4 cup of nuts/seeds or 2 tablespoons of nut/seed butter per day. The scientific evidence for their health benefits is very strong.

Additionally, this recent article by Dr. Joel Fuhrman is helpful to learn more about the benefits of eating nuts and seeds: https://www.drfuhrman.com/library/eat-to-live-blog/168/the-attack-against-nuts-and-seeds-getting-nuttier-all-the-time

That said, we plan to offer more nut-free recipes in the future as we continue to grow and expand our offerings. You’ll find the ingredients and nutritional information for all of our meals here: https://www.goleafside.com/nutrition-summary/

For those with allergies, please note that we cannot guarantee no cross-contamination since we do use tree nuts in our kitchen.
