New On The Menu: The Healthiest Diet You Haven't Heard Of
Dinner Elf adds the DASH Diet to our menu
For the 8th year in a row, health experts from US News & World Report have ranked the DASH Diet as the best diet overall. Research has shown that the DASH Diet can quickly lower blood pressure and is effective for weight loss and lowering cholesterol. Not only is that awesome, but it’s also associated with lower risk of:
- several types of cancer
- heart disease
- stroke
- heart failure
- kidney stones
- developing diabetes
- depression
You’re probably thinking, “Is it going to be like eating rabbit food?”
Nope! The DASH diet is a flexible, easy to follow, and plant-focused diet; think of DASH as an Americanized version of the popular Mediterranean diet.
It emphasizes:
- fruits and vegetables
- nuts
- low-fat and non-fat dairy
- lean meats, fish, and poultry
- mostly whole grains
- a low to moderate amount of heart-healthy fats
It limits:
- sodium
- saturated fats
- sugar
What’s on the Dinner Elf DASH Diet menu?

- dilled pasta and veggie salad
- curried cauliflower steaks
- roasted mushrooms with thyme
- crunchy broccoli slaw
- parmesan roasted cauliflower
- rainbow veggie hummus dip
