think seasonally
“Every week, I make a batch of overnight oats, mixing jumbo oats, chia seeds, ground flaxseed, maca powder, and cinnamon with Plenish almond milk. In the morning, I serve it with seasonal fruit; it could be applesauce, dried coconut, or fresh berries. My favorite combination is Carrot Cake Overnight Oats, which I make with grated carrot and ground ginger. It’s packed with fiber to optimize gut health and will keep blood sugar levels stable.”
Prioritize color
“A vegetable omelette is a great opportunity to add nutrients to your breakfast. On the weekend, our favorite family brunch is a large, shareable omelette filled with simmered chives, garlic, mixed peppers, and cherry tomatoes, topped with toasted pecans, feta, and served with flatbreads. It’s very important to include a variety of different colored vegetables in your diet to support gut diversity, which supports overall health.”
Incorporate Protein Powder
“Protein powder is not just for shakes. Try stirring a couple tablespoons through your regular pancake batter to keep it full longer. For a high-protein pancake, try mixing mashed banana with eggs, flaxseed, vanilla protein powder, and cinnamon. Top with coconut yogurt, fresh fruit, and a drizzle of maple syrup.”
Try an alternative to coffee
“If a milky latte is your choice, consider making saffron golden milk, which is great if you’re feeling stressed or exhausted. Gently heat the almond milk in a saucepan and add a teaspoon of turmeric powder, ground cinnamon and ginger, four strands of saffron, a pinch of black pepper and a little raw honey to taste. When it comes to coffee, try Exhale, an ethical and sustainable brand that offers fantastic coffee that is rich in nutrients. If you are in a hurry, Raw Turmeric Shots from The Turmeric Co. it can provide an anti-inflammatory boost.”
