Looking for new healthy dinner ideas to make this autumn? Check out our collection of cozy healthy Fall Dinner Recipes featuring simple soups, salads and healthy one-pan meals made with colorful fall fruits and vegetables.

WHAT TO EAT DURING FALL

Vegetables and fruits grown during fall survive cold temperatures and, as a result, help your body adjust to cold weather better. Here’s a short list of affordable must-eat healthy fall foods packed with plant-based calcium and vitamins like A and K, as well as other essential compounds. These make the perfect base for Healthy Fall Dinner ideas:

• Brussels Sprouts are immunity-boosting cruciferous veggies that can help improve blood pressure and high cholesterol, thus preventing heart disease and diabetes.
• Carrots are loaded with vitamin A and beta-carotene. Carrots can support cholesterol balance and bone, heart, and gut health.
• Cauliflower is a hormone- and immune-supporting vegetable that is full of antioxidants, fiber, and phytonutrients. This fall vegetable supports digestion and assists in weight loss. 
• Spinach is a wonderful leafy green packed with vitamins, minerals and protein that you can use for smoothies, salads, in soups and stews. Spinach grows pretty well during the mild autumn season and is, therefore a great plant to grow in your fall garden.
• Pumpkin is a low-calorie nutrient-dense fall vegetable that might help to boost the immune system, prevent cancer and promote heart and skin health.
• Sweet Potatoes are rich in beta-carotene, vitamin C, and potassium. They can help enhance brain function, support the immune system and healthy vision.
• Cabbage. Cabbage is one of my favorite vegetables to enjoy when the seasons start turning colder. It might not taste sophisticated like arugula, but cabbage is packed with nutrients and is pretty cheap. Which makes it a winner in my opinion. You can use cabbage as a more nutritious crunchy base for salads instead of lettuce, pack it into lunch wraps or enjoy in soups, stir-fries, stews and curries.
