This chickpea “egg” salad is absolutely one of This chickpea “egg” salad is absolutely one of my new lunch time favorites. 

Only took 5 minutes to prepare (which is awesome bc im not feeling super energetic after getting my 2nd Pfizer vaccine yesterday 😴) and I have leftovers for the week:

Chickpea “egg” salad: 
1 can drained and rinsed chickpeas 
1/4 cup spicy Dijon mustard 
3 tbsp tahini 
2 tbsp water 
1/4 tsp turmeric 
1/4 tsp garlic 
Salt, pepper, red chili flake to taste. 

Directions:
1. Put all ingredients in a large bowl and mash with a fork. Same results could be achieved in a food processor. next time I will add diced red onion for extra crunch but didn’t have any on hand today! 

Put this salad mix in a whole wheat tortilla with kale, cucumber, bell pepper and avocado. It certainly hit the spot 😋 enjoy!
SPAGHETTI • SQUASH • HACK ⬇️ Anybody els SPAGHETTI • SQUASH • HACK ⬇️ 

Anybody else feel like they’re going to chop a hand off when slicing open a spaghetti squash? 🙋🏼‍♀️ 

PRO TIP: poke a couple holes and microwave it for 4 minutes! 
Take it out, let it cool for a few, and then slice it! It is so much easier to handle and reduces risk of losing your fingers 😍 then, scoop out the seeds and cook, cut side down, in the oven at 400 Fahrenheit for an additional 40 minutes or until you can easily scrape with a fork. 

In this bowl, I topped my spaghetti squash with marinara and garbanzo beans, with a side of roasted broccoli, onion and bell peppers. 

Will you try this hack? Tag me if you do! 👍🏼
Still my favorite quote from Michael Pollan. Simpl Still my favorite quote from Michael Pollan. Simple & powerful. There is no perfect “diet”. But your gut will be a happy one if you include a wide variety of plant-foods, and a lot of them! 

I love @theguthealthmd ‘s explanation of the gut- it’s a muscle, just like any other muscle in our body, that needs to be worked out! How do you work out your gut? Consuming a variety of plant foods loaded with fiber. 

If you’re not used to consuming a lot fiber - start slowwwww! Just as you wouldn’t jump straight into deadlifting 500lb. You must slowly increase fiber 🥳 

Recommended daily amount of fiber is 30-35g! There is no upper limit, as long as it is tolerated. 

If you’re experiencing bloating, cramps, or discomfort, you may need to scale back the fiber for a few days. Remember to drink plenty of water, too!

Simplicity ✨ One of the top concerns my client Simplicity ✨ 

One of the top concerns my clients have is not having time to prepare meals. I have 2 answers to this: 

1. If you truly don’t have time for your health, not even 1 hour each week, you need to re-prioritize. Your health and well-being should a top priority. Where can you include just an hour or 2 each week to plan a few meals and get some groceries? How much more productive could you be if your body is properly fueled and nourished??

2. More often than not, the time is available. But figuring out what to prepare is overwhelming, and cooking feels daunting. So life hack: make it easy on yourself. This meal has 
•pre-washed and chopped lettuce. 
•pre-cooked lentils 
•pre-cooked soybeans 
•pre-shredded carrots 
•onion & bell pepper I had already chopped (but could be bought pre-chopped). 
•1/4 an avocado. 
(All from @traderjoes ) 

Nothing wrong with buying “fast foods” that are nutritious and make life easier!

BASIC ➡️ DELICIOUS by adding a tahini-miso dri BASIC ➡️ DELICIOUS by adding a tahini-miso drizzle 😍🥰 

Don’t get tired in your meal prep routine! You can change the flavor profile of any dish by switching up your sauce and seasonings! 

This meal is one of my staples- meaning I Always Have these ingredients on hand for a quick and easy meal. All it consists of is: 
-canned garbanzo beans 
-frozen brown rice 
-frozen rainbow cauliflower 

In order to take this meal from basic to delicious, I made a tahini-miso sauce to drizzle on top: 
Ingredients: 
•2 Tbsp tahini 
•2 tbsp yellow miso paste 
•1 tbsp soy sauce 
•1 tbsp hot water 
•juice of 1/2 a lime 
•1/2 tsp garlic powder 
•1/2 tsp ginger powder 
• black pepper and cayenne pepper to taste. 

Directions: 
1. Mix all ingredients in a bowl, drizzle desired amount on top of you basic bowl. Save any leftovers in an airtight container for next time 😋😋

I made this meal for lunch a few days ago and it t I made this meal for lunch a few days ago and it took me less than 15 minutes to make! HOWEVER, if you don’t have a properly stocked kitchen this wouldn’t be possible! So it is important that you keep a few staples on hand to whip up quick and nutritious meals. 

Some of my kitchen staples I always have on hand: 
1. Frozen brown rice and/or frozen quinoa from @traderjoes 
This makes life so easy. 3 minutes in the microwave and you have perfect brown rice- no added oils or preservatives. 
2. Canned beans. Maybe one day I’ll make beans from scratch but life is busy and canned is fine! 
3. Frozen vegetables. I prefer fresh most of the time, but it’s good to have frozen as a back up! 
4. Cholula 🤣

You have the time to make healthy food choices!!!! You just need a plan 👍🏼 

Burrito bowl: 
1/2 cup brown rice 
1 cup black beans 
1/2 cup corn 
1/2 red bell pepper
1/2 cup chopped red onion 
1 cup chopped cabbage 
1/4 avocado

Directions: 
1. Sauté red onion and bell pepper on stove top until tender 
2. Pop brown rice in microwave for 3 minutes 
3. Rinse and drain canned black beans 
4. Add beans and frozen corn to skillet with onion and peppers. 
5. Season with garlic, pepper and chipotle powder. 
6. Plate your rice, add chopped cabbage mix (I get this cabbage mix pre chopped @traderjoes ) or lettuce of choice. Add beans, corn, peppers and onion once cooked to desired temperature/texture + 1/4 avocado and hot sauce!

Balanced breakfasts keep me satisfied and energized until lunch. Often times my clients trying to lose weight skip breakfast, eat a light lunch, only to over do it in the evening.

The pasta is made from lentils, so it’s packed with protein, fiber and iron. I always make an effort to make half my plate vegetables! If all you have is canned or frozen, that is just as good as fresh! Try and get those colors, it’s where the nutrients are ✨
