What @thehappiestnutritionist is up to...

 
3 MINUTE, 3 STEP NO SUGAR ADDED DESSERT...STRAWBERRY NUT BUTTER BITES (S.NU.B.S!) 🥜🍫🍓✔️In my world, snowy days ❄️ make me crave ALL THE SWEEEETS so I made this lil guy!!⬆️ (does anyone else see the strawberry face in there?? 👀 +👃🏻?!!) 🤣 • HOW YOU ASK??!! 1️⃣Mixed up your fave nut butter + a sh*t ton of cinnamon 2️⃣Make a hole in the 🍓tops 3️⃣fill 🍓 with mixture + add dark chocolate chips‼️ • My motto these days (and most days)...PLAY WITH YOUR FOOD, IT’S MORE FUN TO EAT 🎉
Camera 🎥 shy? Who me?? Let me tell you more... • I was really really camera shy growing up. I used to get SOOOO red and nervous when my parents put a huge 📹 video camera (similar this the emoji actually!) in my face and ask questions like “tell us what you learned in school today” or “sing us your favorite song.” I would either tell a joke or make a funny noise to drastic them from having to actually answer the question 😯 sometimes it worked. And sometimes it still works...🤪 • Having more and more opportunities to face my fear of public speaking (either on panels or during lectures, on camera *SEE ABOVE!!* or even on the podcast!) has made me more and more comfortable but it is definitely a ✔️WORK IN PROGRESS✔️ • I’ve learned...in order to grow, you have to challenge yourself even in circumstances that make you nervous, scared, uncomfortable, and sweaty!🤣 • Therefore...embrace the red in yo face. It’s your gorgeous natural blush. It makes you beautiful. It makes you human 👤💯 • Who else gets a lil camera shy??? 💁🏼‍♀️ Any useful tips welcomed!!! ♥️

CHICKPEA 🥞 PANCAKES!! In honor of National Vegan Day this week, I was inspired to play around in the kitchen with this brekkkkie. A very filling, vegan friendly + grain free breakfast that’s also v. high in protein 👆🏻 Added creamy nut butter + fruit too bc duhhhh • I am a big fan of shaking up your normal breakfast routine on the weekends but FULL DISCLOSURE, they weren’t a complete hit 😖but at least I now know (and you know too!) maybe I’m a pancake snob, but these just didn’t do the trick in my book... • Anyone else ever experiment in the kitchen👩‍🍳 and it just didn’t go as planned??#kitchenfails

This week I had the incredible opportunity to talk at @hatchgal about the often overlooked 4th trimester with the fabulous @drekupperman 💓 we talked about all things pregnancy, postpartum care, foods to load up on and ways to nourish mommy + baby. It was remarkable to be surrounded by such fearless women!! #fbf🤰🏼 • A few of the ladies were wondering how they could increase the iron in their diets and Banza pasta (made from chickpeas) is a v. EASY way to get an added dose of this essential nutrient. A lot of women are low in iron, especially postpartum, so it’s great there are healthy food brands that help deliver this critical mineral 💛 • Real talk. As far as food products...I always tell my clients to make food easy for themselves (as much as possible) so they can make room for other ❤️ things in their life. And eat the damn pasta...K??? 😛 happy friday!!✨
Shaking up my basic betch eggs and avocado with EGGS AND PESTO!!! • I jazzed up these two eggs with some pesto for a creamy, flavorful and herby meal😝fun fact, did you know that BASIL🌿 can enhance your immunity, combat anxiety and can help detox your body? HOLY BASIL! • Pesto is SUCH an easy (and healthy!) staple to have in your refrigerator and throw into your life. Literally I throw it on everything (pasta, eggs, pizza, sandwiches, dressings, zoodles, potatoes...ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES) • As a lovely #tbt, check out @wellandgoodeats IG for a lil snippet of my farmer’s market video...note taking and laughter is encouraged 🤣 #dietstartstomorrow

#fbf to this colorful breakfast in Japan 🇯🇵 👏🏻 🤤 when I asked them why the egg yolk was especially orange, they said: “our farmers infuse the feed with TURMERIC so the chickens get some health benefits, too!!” Caring, genuine and brilliant 💛
Anyone else missing ☀️?! Got a small taste of summer with this vegan 🌱 summer roll made of angel hair rice noodles (yum) and mint, carrots 🥕 and cucumbers 🥒 with a Thai spicy peanut sauce 🤤 and of course, have to pair it with some refreshing vino ✨ .
