If you’re suffering from the winter blues or have full-blown seasonal affective disorder (SAD), we have some good news: There are certain foods that you can eat to help ease depression and increase your energy levels. Sit down to one of these healthy, mood-boosting meals tonight with our new Meatless Monday recipe “Sweet Potato Clam Chowder“.

Clams are sky-high in vitamin B12, a nutrient that’s been shown to help people suffering from depression recover faster. This lightened up version of Sweet Potato Clam Chowder (created by Recipe Rehab chef Vikki Krinsky) is a hearty, satisfying meal that’s also packed with protein (from the fat-free milk) and folate (thanks to spinach).
