11 Mouthwatering Winter Recipes
A few weeks ago, we posted Four Tips to Stay Happy during the cold winter season. Shameless plug aside, we broke down the science behind the amino acid, tryptophan.
An increase in tryptophan can help combat Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), boost your mood, and improve your workout. This amino acid can be found in most dietary proteins, especially eggs, nuts, fish, soy beans, red meat and poultry.
With that in mind, we curated some winter recipes for you, with many of these meals stressing those essential proteins. Enjoy these unique combos and click the links to our friends’ sites to get the full, free recipes!
