Today I’m bringing these fun new overnight oat flavours to you - you’ll feel like you’re having dessert for breakfast! The best part?

📌Save For: Dietitian’s Guide To Nutrition For Holiday Stress & Anxiety + Giveaway!  Tis the season to be…stressed out. As wonderful as the holidays are, I, like many others often feed excess stress and anxiety during this time as well. Anyone else relate?   Along with therapy and self care, nutrition can play a key role in helping to manage that stress and anxiety. I’ve put together this post and a meal plan which highlights how certain nutrients can play a role in assisting with managing stress and anxiety. Food is number one but if you are having trouble meeting certain nutrient targets, I’ve partnered with to showcase which of their real food supplements can be used to help you meet those nutrient targets. AD  Also in the spirit of holiday giving, I’ve partnered with Megafood to give away their Magnesium Triple Complex! To enter the giveaway:  1. Follow .ca &  2.

Below are the highlights of which key nutrients in this meal plan could play a role in managing stress and anxiety:

Omega 3: A diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids helps keep cortisol and adrenaline from spiking when you’re feeling tense. The omega-3 fatty acids have anti-inflammatory properties that may help counteract the negative effects of stress hormones. Load up on flax seed, chia seeds and walnuts! 

Magnesium: Magnesium assists in calming nerves and muscle relaxation. Magnesium is found in spinach, almonds, avocado, bananas, beans and seeds. I’ve also been turning to MegafoodsMagnesium Triple Complex which is a highly absorbable 3-in-1 magnesium blend (bisglycinate, malate and citrate) formulated to assist with muscle function.

📌Save For: Dietitian’s Costco Meal Prep Staple (+ How I Use Them!)

This past week I did my monthly Costco haul to restock on my meal prep staples. 📌Save this post to grab my meal prep staples (and why they’re my staples) and for the FULL LIST of my Costco staples comment ‘Meal Prep’!  • Farm Girl Cinnamon Crisps - I LOVE this low sugar, protein and fibre-packed cereal. It’s a great swap for your typical lower protein & fibre cereal - pair it with soy milk and you have a 20 G protein breakfast!

• One Degree Organic Oats - I go through alottt of oats with my overnight oats and I love buying these sprouted oats from Costco. Not only are they in a large quantity, but the fact that they are sprouted helps with nutrition absorption and digestion.

• Felicia Red Lentil Pasta - This one packs a protein and fibre punch and can act as the main protein source to a meal. This one fits perfectly into my ‘plan B meal’ list and helps me put together a meal in 15 mins or less!

• Lotus Foods Millet & Brown Rice Ramen - I love the ingredients in this product and that they provide 8 g/cake + fibre too! These are awesome to add to a stir fry or soup and cook super fast.

• Sprague Lentil Soup - This is also a great ‘Plan B meal’ product! Now it’s not a complete meal itself so I would add some frozen veg into this and top it with some roasted edamame beans or pair it with a side salad + roasted beans for a complete meal!

• PuraVida Fire Roasted Vegetable Primavera - This product smashes the notion that frozen veggies don’t taste good. Simply add them to a frying pan or in the air fryer to ‘Veggie-Up’ a meal! So good! .foods

• Summerfresh Dill Pickle Hummus - Hummus is the perfect flavour enhancer and can be used in SO many other ways than just hummus as a dip! I have been watering it down to make a pasta sauce, it can be made into a marinade, add flavour to a bowl etc! This was is so delicious too :)

📌Save For: Nutrient Changes From Before Pregnancy to Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

My nutrient requirements have changed significantly in the last 1.5 years – from before pregnancy to pregnancy and after pregnancy and breastfeeding. Save this post as a guide for those key nutrients, along with supplementation recommendations. I’m working with Megafood to showcase how their supplements have supported this journey

I’ve also put together a free 3 day meal plan that demonstrates how those nutrient needs are met, alongside the supplementation

Before Pregnancy:

Before I got pregnant, I had struggled with low iron soalong with meal planning around iron-rich foods (pumpkin seeds, beans, lentils, edamame) I routinely took a supplement. Before getting pregnant I starting takingMegafood Baby & Me 2 as it provides 18 mg of iron for two tablets. It’s also important to take a prenatal prior to conception, to ensure adequacy of important nutrients such as choline, iron and folate. I also took 2000 IU of Vitamin D daily from Megafood, to ensure those needs were getting met.

During Pregnancy:

During pregnancy, not only did my iron needs increase but so did my calorie requirements, protein requirements, folate, omega 3 and choline.

To meet my increased calorie requirements, I looked at more significant snack options as I could only eat so much at a time due to feeling full easily. I also made sure these snacks were protein-rich and fibre rich (edamame was my BFF). I also had chia seeds for breakfast each day for the omega 3 and fibre boost.

To meet my folate requirements, I upped my leafy green and bean intake but I also relied on the active form of folate in the Megafood Baby & Me 2. It’s important that folate is present in its active form for best absorption (aka not folic acid). Look for a prenatal that contains folate in a highly bioavailable form (5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF) so your body has to do less work converting it into a usable form. In Megafood Baby & Me 2, folate is found in the 5-MTHF form.
