𝐕𝐞𝐠𝐠𝐢𝐞-𝐅𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐝 𝐅𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐨 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐂𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐋𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐧 “𝐉𝐮𝐬”⁣
⁣
🌾Farro! An ancient grain that is slightly nuttier and has more texture than brown rice. High in fiber, plant-based protein, and a variety of vitamins and minerals (zinc, magnesium, and niacin). Although it has been around for the last few centuries, it's gaining popularity over the last few years due to its delicious taste, but also health benefits. If you haven't tried it, give it a go!⁣
⁣
🥕🥬🥦Veggies: More the merrier! Dump whatever's in the fridge. Ideally, we want to "eat the rainbow"- skittles, again, was on to something. But really, eating a variety of fruits and veggies that are all sorts of colors ensures that you're getting a variety of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and phytonutrients. ⁣
⁣
🍗Chicken Breast: (skinless) is a lean protein and cooks up in just a few minutes. Protein is not only important for growth and repair, but also contributes to satiety- your fullness feeling. Do yourself a favor and get a meat thermometer- it's a game changer. If you don't have chicken, no biggie, substitute any protein and the dish will be just as delicious. If you are looking to make this vegetarian, add your favorite beans to the farro mixture!⁣
⁣
This dish can go so many ways. Make it your own and let me know what you come up with!⁣

𝐏𝐚𝐧-𝐒𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐒𝐚𝐥𝐦𝐨𝐧 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐬, 𝐊𝐚𝐥𝐞, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐋𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐲 𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐛 𝐃𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠⁣
⁣
This was an off-the-cuff dinner that turned rather delicious. As always, it's also nutritious.⁣
⁣
🌾Couscous: It's often thought of as its own grain, however, it is actually mini steamed pasta spheres. It's very quick to prepare and can take on a variety of flavor profiles. Since this recipe calls for whole-wheat couscous, you're getting that extra fiber, vitamins, and minerals that are often stripped down during the processing of wheat. ⁣
⁣
🥬Kale: I'm sure you've heard of it, give it a try. A very-dark leafy green with fiber, Vitamin A, Vitamin K, Vitamin C, Calcium, and Iron. Tip: finely chop your kale to help it cook down faster and be easier to eat. Careful not to overcook it, otherwise you'll destroy the vitamins and minerals.⁣
⁣
🍣Salmon: A fatty fish rich in omega 3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA) which are essential to the diet. Omega 3s have several health benefits such as decreasing inflammation, helping lower blood pressure, and reducing the risk of certain cancers. It's recommended to eat fatty fish 1-2 times per week.⁣

Now, I know there are about 3 thousand chili recipes out there.. so here's another to try! Also, hi! I'm back from my social media/website hiatus. ⁣
⁣
It's fall, the leaves have changed, the weather is getting colder, days are getting shorter, and seasonal depression is setting in- so cheer yourself up with a nice big bowl of Slow Cooker Chili!⁣
⁣
🍂Remember all foods are healthy and can fit in a healthy diet- I'll keep reminding you.⁣
⁣
💪🏼Lean Protein: ground turkey breast and grass-fed ground beef. Grass-fed beef has a slightly better fatty acid profile than its conventionally fed counterparts. Plus 3 types of beans in the chili for extra gains⁣
⁣
🍂Fiber, Fiber, and more Fiber: Beans have a ton of fiber, which we know is fabulous for our gut microbiome and colon health!⁣
⁣
🍅Lycopene: an antioxidant in the carotenoid group that is found in red and pink foods. Tomatoes are a rich source of lycopene. Antioxidants help negate the damaging effects of free radicals, which create oxidative stress in our bodies. When there is too much oxidative stress, over a long period of time, many chronic diseases can arise.⁣

🍌Quarantine Snacking Guide🥜

Have a set meal time routine. Try and focus on 3 meals and 1-2 snacks depending on activity and hunger levels.

📍Be nice to yourself: we’re living in a strange time and the last thing you want to do is completely revamping your diet/lifestyle. Control what you can and don’t freak out. All things come to an end, let’s hope it’s getting closer!

📍Pair carbohydrates and protein together for a balanced snack that’ll keep you energized, feeling full, and ready to tackle your quarantine activities 🧩

📍Pre-portion snacks: let’s use a plate ( ), scoop some hummus and place some pita chips on the plate then take the plate somewhere else.

📍Give yourself a true break, take 5-10 min to enjoy your snack away from your desk/computer/email/phone. Reset, eat, and then go back to work.

📍Eat when you are hungry: don’t wait until you are ravenous! Having 1-2 snacks throughout the day can help curb hunger until your next meal so you’re less likely to be starving and thus tend to overeat!

Also, yes I’ve put fresh tomatoes on all pasta ever since I can remember so 🤷🏼‍♀️.
