As registered dietitians, one of the questions we get often is about fish. So many of you have told us that you hear fish is good for you and you’d like to eat more of it but that you don’t like “fishy” fish. You’ve asked us about more mild fishes and for some recipes–and so here you have it! This is a white mild fish–talapia–an easier one for the palate for those “beginner” fish eaters! 😉 Although we find this fish delicious, we especially LOVE the Wild Blueberry-Apple Chipotle Chutney that really adds a delicious sweet and spicy kick. Plus, the Wild Blueberries are packed with anti-inflammatories to help to neutralize damaging particles and keep your bodies cells protected–keeping things peaceful from the inside out. Hello, we see you— healthy body and gorgeous skin!
