Hatch ’em while you can! Emily, from One Lovely Life, shows us how to cook tasty hatch recipes that are perfect for game day or large get-togethers.

Cowboy Caviar Bean Dip

Game Day Cowboy Caviar Bean Dip Combine classic bean dip with corn salsa to make the BEST double-decker dip around! Grab a bag of Sprouts tortilla chips and dive in!

Ingredients:

For the bean layer:
  • 1 16-oz. can Sprouts Organic Fat Free Vegetarian Refried Beans
  • 4 Tbsp. Sprouts Hatch Green Chile Salsa
For the corn salsa layer:
  • 2 Ears Corn, cooked (Optional: grilled—see below)
  • 1 med. Avocado, peeled, pitted and diced
  • 1 cup Grape tomatoes, diced
  • 1/2 cup Sprouts Organic Black Beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1/4 cup Red onion, minced
  • 1/4 cup Fresh Cilantro, minced
  • 1-2 Tbsp. Jalapeno (optional)
  • 1/2 tsp. Sprouts Chili Powder
  • 1/4 tsp. Salt
  • 1/4 tsp. Pepper

Instructions:

  1. First, prepare the bean dip layer. In a medium bowl, combine 1 can Sprouts refried beans and 4 tablespoons Sprouts Hatch Green Chile Salsa.
  2. Stir refried beans and salsa to mix well (refried beans should be more spreadable), and spread bean dip out over the bottom of a 2 quart baking or serving dish (8×8 square or oval shaped). Set aside while you prepare corn salsa layer.
  3. Next, prepare the corn salsa layer. If grilling the corn (optional), heat an indoor grill pan over medium heat and place 2 ears corn on the preheated pan. Cook 2-3 minutes per side, rotating until corn has char marks.
  4. Allow the corn to cool slightly, then slice the corn off the cob. To do this, stand an ear of corn upright on an end and run a knife down the sides of the cob until all the corn is removed. Repeat with second ear of corn.
  5. While the corn is grilling, add 1 diced avocado to a medium bowl and coat with 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice. Stir to coat well, as the lime juice will help prevent the avocado from browning.
  6. Add cooked corn to the avocado and lime mixture. Add 1 cup diced grape tomatoes, 1/2 cup drained and rinsed Sprouts black beans, 1/4 cup minced red onion, 1/4 cup minced cilantro, and 1-2 tablespoons minced jalapeno (if using) to the bowl. 
  7. Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon Sprouts chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper over the corn and vegetable mixture and stir to combine the corn salsa well.
  8. Pour the corn salsa layer into the serving dish over the prepared bean dip layer, gently spreading the corn salsa out evenly.
  9. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Brain health vitamins and supplements from Sprouts Farmers Market Your brain requires essential vitamins, minerals, omegas and antioxidants to help you stay focused and energized! Explore the health benefits of nootropics, adaptogens, omegas and vitamin E.

Nootropics

Though the name may sound unusual, (The word is based on the Greek for “mind turning or bending.”) you’re already acquainted with a nootropic—caffeine. A nootropic is a compound that helps to boost cognitive function like memory, creativity, motivation and attention. Providing a healthy boost of vitamins and amino acids, these nootropics can help you gain a mental edge. Some nootropics include:
  • Caffeine increases alertness by blocking adenosine receptors in your brain (which makes you feel less tired).
  • Bacopa monnieri is an herb that contains bacosides which have antioxidative properties for brain cells—potentially helping to increase memory and information processing.
  • Panax ginseng has strong anti-inflammatory properties, helping to protect your brain from harm caused by oxidative stress which aids the brain’s ability to function.
  • L-Theanine an amino acid found in tea, can be calming without causing drowsiness.
  • Creatine, another amino acid, bonds with phosphate when it enters your brain, which creates a molecule that helps fuel brain cells, helping to improve short-term memory and ability to reason.

    • SHOP NOOTROPICS NOW

Adaptogens

These versatile herbs help your body resist stress of all kinds. By promoting adrenal wellness, adaptogens can help combat fatigue. Here are some adaptogens you’ll find in our Vitamin and Supplement aisles:
  • Ashwagandha helps to sooth and balance your body’s reaction to stress.
  • Rhodiola rosea helps to reduce mental fatigue and help with stress—and is also considered a nootropic.
  • Schizandra helps your body to resist the effects of stress as well as improve focus.
  • Reishi is a type of mushroom that can support your immune system.

    • SHOP ADAPTOGENS NOW

Omegas

Keep your brain engaged with essential fats, the most critical components for boosting brain power. Your brain is made up of approximately 60% fat. Omega-3 fatty acids help to maintain the function of your brain cells and neurotransmitters, helping your brain adapt to new information and facilitate cognition.

SHOP OMEGAS NOW

Vitamin E

An antioxidant, vitamin E helps protect cells from the oxidative damage caused by free radicals. The brain is especially susceptible to this type of damage, which is why vitamin E can help promote cognitive ability.

Natural and Organic Pet Food

At Sprouts, we know pet nutrition is just as important to you as your own—which is why we carry the leading brands in natural and organic pet foods and treats including Blue Buffalo, I and Love and You, and Castor Pollux. From grain free, to high protein, your furry friends can enjoy a delicious meal with all the right nutrients without unnecessary fillers. Just as the Paleo diet suggests, eating whole foods like our early ancestors did, has health benefits. The same is true for our pets. While not all pets struggle with conventional foods, they do have very little natural digestive support to break down and metabolize complex carbohydrates. These may remain undigested and may damage the lining of the digestive system over a long period of time.

Organic Pet Food

Containing all-natural ingredients like chicken, fish and eggs, organic pet food does not contain any animal by-products, gluten or fillers. With chemical-free additives, an organic pet food diet may reduce the risk of ailments and allergies. You may also see an overall increase in the quality of your pet’s life. With cleaner sources of nutrients and protein, your pet will spend less time digesting the foods and more time benefiting from the powerful nutrients they are receiving.

Healthy Dog & Cat Treats

Whether you want to reward good behavior or just show your cat and dog some extra love, healthy treats are the way to go. Grain-free, organic or made from healthy options, you’ll feel good about giving them purr-inducing, tail-wagging nutritious treats.

Supplements to Keep Pets Healthy

If you’re looking to take the extra step with your pet’s health, we offer a diverse assortment of supplements for dogs and cats too. You’ll find probiotics, flax oil, multivitamins and supplements to support hip and joint health, regularity, stress, and a healthy skin and coat as well.

Find these healthy dog and cat food brands at your local Sprouts!

Ashwagandha for Adrenal & Stress Support

Ashwagandha is known for aiding strength, stamina and stress levels by supporting the adrenal glands.* Located on top of each of your kidneys, your adrenal glands produce hormones that help to regulate many of your body’s essential functions like metabolism, blood pressure, immune system and response to stress. When you are under duress, whether it’s from a busy lifestyle or a one-time stressful event, your body produces the stress hormones adrenaline and cortisol. In one study, ashwagandha was shown to significantly reduce the subjects’ cortisol levels. You can learn more about ashwagandha in this article.

Medicinal Mushrooms for Balance & Restoration Support

Medicinal mushrooms are known to have potent antioxidant and adaptogenic properties that can support the immune system, liver health, brain function and healthy stress levels.* Medicinal mushrooms are high in antioxidants as well as other nutrients. Selenium, which plays a role in liver detoxification, is not found in most fruits and veggies. But as fungi, mushrooms provide a good source of this helpful mineral. Adaptogens help your body to resist stress and have a positive effect on the body’s immune and nervous systems. Because medicinal mushrooms have adaptogenic properties, they can aid in overall health and stress response.

Milk Thistle for Liver Health Support

Milk thistle can help support healthy liver function by promoting the elimination of environmental and physical toxins.* Your liver helps to digest food and rid your body of toxins. While its main job is to filter the blood coming from your digestive tract before it goes to the rest of your body, your liver actually performs over 500 functions—all of which are integral for life. Milk thistle contains the flavonoid silymarin. Flavonoids are found in veggies and fruit, and are powerful antioxidants, which can help protect your cells from damage. Silymarin’s antioxidant properties can help support liver health.

Oregano Oil for Immunity Support

Oregano oil can help support a healthy immune response. Plus, it’s effective everywhere in the body including skin, respiratory tract, sinuses, gut and urinary tract.* Your immune system relies on micronutrients to maintain balance. Antioxidants are micronutrients that fight against free radicals (potentially harmful molecules) and protect your cell’s integrity. Oregano oil owes its immune-supporting abilities to two compounds. Carvacrol is a type of antioxidant called a phenol that can help protect your cells against damage. Thymol is another phenol that has antimicrobial properties, helping to protect against toxins.

Valerian for Sleep & Relaxation Support

Helping to promote tranquility, valerian may ease anxious feelings in response to stressful situations, act as a natural muscle relaxer and may improve your quality of sleep.* Valerian helps to support sleep and relaxation in two ways. Linarin is the flavonoid (plant pigment) present in valerian root responsible for its calming effect. Valerian also raises the level of GABA, a neurotransmitter in the brain associated with regulating anxiety. Think sleeping is overrated? Check out our article about the importance of sleep to your overall health.

Curious About CBD Oil

An Introduction to Products Containing
Hemp-derived Cannabidiol (CBD)

While the complete list of CBD oil benefits is still being researched, manufacturers understand the growing interest from shoppers seeking alternative options. Body care like balms, creams, salves and ointments containing CBD are not intended to treat or cure any specific condition but may help tired muscles and sore joints.

What is CBD Oil?

CBD (cannabidiol) is one molecule of hundreds derived from the leaves and flowers of the hemp plant and made into oil. This oil is then combined with emollients and essential oils.

Are Marijuana and Hemp Different?

Yes, both belong to the same plant family but have distinctive characteristics. Marijuana contains a psycho-active component called tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) which is associated with a “high,” while CBD is non psycho-active and does not produce a “high.”

How Do CBD Products Work?

Cannabinoids activate receptors in our body associated with our endocannabinoid system (ECS), which regulates recovery and repair, among other functions. Many consumers have found CBD-containing products helpful when used as recommended. No significant side effects have been reported with CBD use, and it is generally well tolerated.*

CBD balms, creams, salves and ointments may be a useful alternative to over-the-counter, steroid-based creams and act as a more natural remedy for those interested in natural care. Hemp extract may help manage pain or inflammation associated with injury or strain.

How Should I Choose CBD Products?

When choosing CBD body care items, it’s important to look for products rooted in efficacy, safety and quality. Brands sold at Sprouts offer products that comply with applicable laws, FDA regulations and are committed to testing, traceability and transparency.

*Note: These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. These products are not designed to treat, cure or mitigate any disease. You should consult with your doctor prior to use.
