\u201cFruit is most nutrient dense and tasty when picked at the peak of its season,\u201d says Quyen Vu, M.S.<\/p>\n

Slow Cooker Baked Apples<\/p>\n
Cinnamon Apple Quesadilla<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s delicious sweet or savory and an excellent source of fiber,\u201d says Vu. \u201cOne cup of canned pumpkin\u00a0has 7 grams.\u201d<\/p>\n
Her current obsession is adding it to chia seed pudding with cinnamon.<\/p>\n
Try these pumpkin recipes:<\/p>\n
Pumpkin Pie Chia Pudding<\/p>\n
Pumpkin Pie Shakeology<\/p>\n
Pumpkin Pie Oatmeal<\/p>\n
Roasted or in soup, it\u2019s a fall staple with\u00a07 grams of fiber\u00a0per 1 cup cubed.<\/p>\n
That serving size is also an excellent source of two vitamins: \u201cThis golden-orange squash is high in vitamins A and C,\u201d says\u00a0Holly Layer, R.D. \u201cTry adding it to beef chili with a touch of cinnamon.\u201d<\/p>\n
Try these butternut squash recipes:<\/p>\n
Spicy Butternut Squash Soup<\/p>\n
Butternut Squash Mac and Cheese<\/p>\n
Butternut Squash Soup With Roasted Chicken<\/p>\n
Use this herb fresh or dried to increase flavor without adding salt, recommends Vu. It pairs well with pumpkin, butternut squash, and chicken, among other dishes.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
This fragrant herb is pretty as a garnish or a tabletop centerpiece and amps up flavor.<\/p>\n
\u201cRosemary always makes me think of roasting chicken or turkey,\u201d says Layer. \u201cSimply tuck fresh rosemary between the skin [and breast] before putting your bird in the oven.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt goes well in broth and gives you a nice warm feeling,\u201d says Vu. It\u2019s an essential component for classic pumpkin pie spice and also kicks up flavor in savory dishes.<\/p>\n
Try these recipe with ginger:<\/p>\n
Pear Ginger Vanilla Shakeology<\/p>\n
Green Ginger Latte Shakeology<\/p>\n
Gingerbread Granola<\/p>\n
A naturally sweet spice, ground cinnamon adds sweetness without added sugar. \u201cSprinkle some on top of oatmeal with apples for a fall fave,\u201d says Vu.<\/p>\n
One medium sweet potato\u00a0is a good source of fiber and an excellent source of vitamin A.<\/p>\n
And they \u201care just plain delicious,\u201d says Layer. \u201cIncorporate them into weekly meal plans as slices of \u2018toast\u2019 for breakfast or roasted on a green salad with dried cranberries.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOne of my favorite hacks is subbing sweet potato for white flour in muffins,\u201d says Vu.<\/p>\n
Try these sweet potato recipes:<\/p>\n
FIXATE Loaded Sweet Potato Skins<\/p>\n
Sweet Potato Hash With Eggs<\/p>\n
Sweet Potato Bites<\/p>\n
A go-to for stocks, you can keep it simple with this root vegetable. \u201cInstead of potatoes for dinner, roast parsnips with olive oil, salt and pepper,\u201d says Vu.<\/p>\n
A half cup sliced is a good source of\u00a0folate and vitamin C.<\/p>\n
A hearty pick for autumn salads, a cup of this leafy green is a\u00a0excellent source of vitamin K. \u201cKale and pomegranate are a great combo, but I also use it in soup or eat it roasted,\u201d says Vu.<\/p>\n
![\"cranberries](\"https:\/\/bod-blog-assets.prod.cd.beachbodyondemand.com\/bod-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Fall-Groceries-for-Your-Food-Shopping-List.cranberries.600.jpg\" "\\"\\"")
<\/p>\n
Buy these\u00a0vitamin- and fiber-rich berries\u00a0fresh or dried. \u201cKeep in mind that some dried cranberries are covered in sugar,\u201d says Layer. \u201cLook for unsweetened ones.\u201d<\/p>\n
You can also make an easy\u00a0low-sugar cranberry sauce.<\/p>\n
\u201cTurkey breast is a great cut of turkey as it is a high-quality protein that is lean and contains B vitamins,\u201d says Vu. Layer loves using it in sandwiches and soup.<\/p>\n
Try these turkey recipes:<\/p>\n
2B Mindset Instant Pot Turkey Breast<\/p>\n
Easy Turkey Chili<\/p>\n
Mediterranean Turkey Burgers<\/p>\n
A classic, warm breakfast cereal, oatmeal is also an easy wheat alternative. \u201cMake oat flour from rolled oats in a blender to replace refined white flour, for added fiber and whole grains,\u201d says Vu.<\/p>\n
These cruciferous vegetables\u00a0are in peak season from September to December. Shred raw Brussels sprouts for salad or slaw, or roast them with a tiny bit of olive oil, salt, and pepper.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere are so many hacks for it \u2014 pizza crust, rice, smoothies!\u201d says Vu. This cruciferous\u00a0veggie\u00a0is a\u00a0good source of vitamin C and folate.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Another sweet and savory pick, beets are a fun way to add color to smoothies, muffins, and pancakes, recommends Vu.<\/p>\n
\u201cI like roasting beets for a salad with feta, or grating them into muffin batter with cinnamon and blueberries,\u201d says Layer.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis heavy orb is in season for such a short time,\u201d says Layer. \u201cGet it while you can!\u201d<\/p>\n
