I know - crazy. But plant based proteins are for any day of the week! If you've been thinking about incorporating more plant based proteins into your diet - don't wait any longer!⁠
.⁠
⭐ Did you know that moving toward a more plant forward diet can help increase fiber intake, and reduce saturated fat intake? Both can help reduce risk of developing conditions such as heart disease or certain cancers. ⁠
⭐ 1/2 cup of beans contains about 7 g of protein (same as 1 oz of beef or chicken) PLUS provides fiber? ⁠
⭐ Nuts, while high in calories, are a good source of protein AND healthy fats. Consume in small amounts (a great snack!) because a little bit goes a long way. ⁠
⭐ Some plant based foods are COMPLETE PROTEINS. That's right, they contain all the essential amino acids. Soy and quinoa are just 2 examples. ⁠
.⁠
How are you incorporating plant based proteins into your routine? Needs inspiration?! Let me know below what you're doing or which types of proteins you need inspiration for!⁠

🙋🏻‍♀️ Anyone else doing a taco Tuesday 🙋🏻‍♀️ Anyone else doing a taco Tuesday?!
.
Our taco craving fell on a Tuesday this week - so a true taco Tuesday in this household today! Tacos are one of our favorite go to meals because they are quick and essentially a balanced meal all wrapped up 🙂
.
Let’s break it down:

➡️tortilla = carbs - that life giving energy 
➡️meat = protein - working non stop to regulate countless metabolic processes 
➡️veggies = fiber and vitamins - support good digestion and a strong immune system 
➡️olive oil (veggies sautéed in) = healthy fats - protect our cell membranes and transport fat soluble vitamins 
➡️cheese and salsa because why not!

Do you have any family meal traditions? Pizza Friday?! New recipe Wednesday? Let me know below!

For those that don't know, I work on a college campus and classes technically started on the 24th (but now 2 weeks virtual) and the 24th seems like over a month ago. ⁠

For those that work in food service, you know what I'm talking about!⁠
.⁠
Despite the long hours and craziness, I do like my job. And much of what I post on here is an extension of what I get to do everyday at my job.⁠
⁠
1. Teaching students about the importance of balanced eating.⁠
2. Educating on simple, healthy recipe ideas - learning life skills to help them make lifelong healthy habits.⁠
3. Dispelling nutrition myths that come from diet culture to hopefully reduce it's grasp on a young adult population.⁠

See you all soon and thank you for being here!⁠
