Nutrient Dense – Whole Food – Heart Healthy
Breakfast is by far my favorite meal of the day, but also the easiest to slip up on in the health department. With so many processed breakfast foods packed with sugar, simple carbohydrates and saturated fat, it’s no wonder why people often start their day with skyrocketing blood sugar levels that lead to hunger, cravings, fatigue and overeating later in the day.
The world of diet and nutrition advice is vast, and for most people confusing, frustrating and sometimes down-right ridiculous (maple syrup diet anyone?). We are constantly being bombarded with magazine articles, infomercials, books, blogs and celebrity spokespeople promising super fast, easy and lasting results, yet for some reason we still find ourselves wanting to stuff down Oreos while watching episodes of Biggest Loser. Just me? Oh.
By now, most people are at least vaguely aware of the diabetes epidemic that has been sweeping the globe. We hear it on the news, read about it in magazine articles, suffer through countless pharmaceutical advertisements and most of us know at least one person struggling with the constant finger pricks and insulin shots.
Among the most common reasons I hear for why people are hesitant to make healthy changes to their diet is that eating healthy is too expensive. While it is true that fresh, quality products are more expensive item for item than processed, low-quality, “fast” foods, most people would be surprised how many ways there are to save money and still eat a healthy, whole and clean diet.
Nutrient Dense – Whole Food – Lasting Energy – I absolutely love this turkey chili recipe. It’s light and healthy just as the name suggests, but also very hearty and satisfying. It’s full of protein and fiber to keep you full, lower in fat because of the turkey and down-right delicious. It makes the perfect dish for a cold winter evening, a family gathering or game-day!!!
Dairy Free – Gluten Free – Nutrient Dense – Vegan (optional)
This delicious and nutrient dense black bean quinoa recipe is an absolute favorite in my household, and I can’t wait for you to taste it for yourself and see why!
