Whether your preference is for sweet or savory, you can elevate your brunch menu with simple swaps.

Adding more colorful fruits and vegetables onto your plate means adding more vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients and fiber to nourish your body.

Whether this is a laid-back weekend ritual or an Easter tradition enjoyed with family and friends, here are a few ways to elevate your spread.

For a savory way to spotlight classic eggs and bacon, try adding in a few extra spring vegetables, with a frittata featuring asparagus and bacon.

A frittata is similar to a quiche but has a higher egg-to-dairy ratio and does not have a crust, meaning there are fewer calories per serving.

Add corn and sun-dried tomatoes for extra color, and pair this alongside Food City ShortCuts Fruit Bowl for extra balance.

To elevate your fruit side, try mixing up a combination of fruits and veggies for a bright and refreshing dish.

Feature watermelon, cantaloupe, honeydew and sliced cucumber finished with lime juice and plenty of fresh chopped mint. Melon and cucumbers have a high water content and contain electrolytes like potassium, which can help support healthy hydration.

Another fun spring dish to serve up for brunch is sheet pan pancakes, featuring Kodiak Flapjack Mix. Sheetpan pancakes are versatile and save time when serving a bigger crowd — simply spread the batter in the sheet pan and bake.

For a seasonal variation, try a recipe that features all the delicious flavors of carrot cake, but with protein and fiber to keep you full while containing less added sugar, making it ideal for breakfast.

Feature natural sweetness from pineapple and raisins and finish with a sweetened cream cheese ricotta frosting and topped with toasted pecans for some crunch.
