Registered Dieticians & Food Experts Partner With True Story To Create Delicious Recipes and Tips For Adding Healthy Protein To Your Diet

SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA, UNITED STATES, April 30, 2018 /EINPresswire.com/ -- True Story, makers of organic and Project Non-GMO Certified sausages, hot dogs, deli meats, and fresh pork debut delicious new recipes and tips from registered dieticians and food experts Regina Ragone and Elizabeth Fassberg. The goal is to educate consumers about the health benefits of organic and non-GMO meats and provide creative ways to add healthy proteins to everyday meals.

The duo includes Regina Ragone, MS, RD, former food director at Family Circle, food editor of Prevention and author of Meals That Heal and Elizabeth Fassberg, MPH, RD and CDN, the owner of the food and nutrition consultancy Eat Food who has partnered with Dr. Oz’s HealthCorps and Jamie Oliver. Ragone and Fassberg have spent years counseling food lovers and food creators to improve lives through making better choices about their food.

“Animal protein sources, such as lean meats like True Story, are similar to the protein found in your body. These protein sources are considered to be complete sources of protein because they contain all of the essential amino acids that your body needs to function effectively. Plant protein sources, such as beans, lentils and nuts are considered to be incomplete, since they lack one or more of the essential amino acids that your body needs,” says Regina Ragone RD.

The pair have created healthy, delicious recipes perfect for your Spring to Summer celebrations, available at www.truestoryfoods.com/recipes.
