Smartfood Recipes with Chef Jody + Gift Basket Giveaway
I had never heard of Smartfood before this campaign and was curious more about the product. On Thurday, June 20th, the Smartfood brand and SELF magazine named the top-10 SMARTest cities in America. In coming up with this list, the brand looked at five criteria to align with the goal of living and eating well. Each letter stands for a specific area of focus: Savvy, Motivated, Accomplished, Responsible and Thoughtful.
Appreciation for delicious foods with great flavors was just one of the voting criteria. To help celebrate, Chef Jody Denton, Executive Research Chef at Frito-Lay’s Culinary Innovation Center, shared his own flavorful recipes in San Francisco to help make the summer the SMARTest and most delicious to date! Here are just a few of his recipes.
