Pineapple Spring Rolls + Dole Get Up And Grow Tour!

I am an official ambassador for Dole Fresh Fruit and Vegetables. Dole provided me with free salad and pineapple coupons for the purpose of this post, as well as compensation for my time. As always, all opinions expressed in this post are mine. 

There are always so many fun things going on in Portland at any given time, and I’ve got another cool one to add to your list. This week is the Dole Get Up And Grow Tour. It’s an 11,700-mile, 115-day journey organized by the Dole Food Company and Blue Diamond Almond Breeze to give North Americans a number of tangible ways to make 2015 their healthiest and happiest summer EVER! They are directly challenging local residents to eat better this summer to receive some exciting health and wellness rewards. They’ll be stopping at 480 supermarkets and special events throughout the U.S. and Canada through September.

So if you’re in Portland, Oregon this week, I’ve got the list below of all the stops the tour is making in our lovely city.

The Get Up and Grow Tour Caravan is a wrapped van and trailer with kitchen and sampling tent that offers free recipe samples, a DIY smoothie bar, free giveaways for the kids, expert nutritional advice by our resident RD or produce expert and other surprises. Visitors can also create their own customizable, interactive pledge that gives them the chance to receive wellness rewards like free DOLE fresh produce, Fitbits® and a wellness getaway in California. Visitors can sample a variety of fruit, vegetable and salad recipes created for Get Up and Grow! Here is the website for more information on the tour here.

As part of this post, I thought that it would be fun to create a recipe using Dole fresh pineapple and spinach (along with mint, basil and avocado!). Once you’ve got your ingredients together, the recipe goes together in a snap! It’s also gluten-free and vegan, and doesn’t contain any added sugar or oil. Don’t miss the recipe below, because it may just become your new go-to dish. 

This is such a cool tour, and one that you will want to catch. Plus, I love anything promoting fresh fruits and vegetables, healthy recipes and almond milk!
