Most people decide what to eat by asking one of two questions:

What do I feel like eating?
or
What should I be eating?

And when you rely on only one of those, something usually feels off.

You might follow a craving and still feel hungry shortly after.
Or you might choose something “balanced” that doesn’t actually hit the spot.

Because food doesn’t just affect the moment you’re eating it.

It influences:

* how full you feel
* your energy over the next few hours
* how soon you’re thinking about food again

The shift is learning to combine both.

Start with what you feel like eating.
Then build on it in a way that actually supports you.

That’s when meals start to feel more complete—and you’re not constantly going back for something else.

If you want, I can walk through exactly how to do this in real life!

This Greek lentil salad has been on repeat lately.

It’s fresh, crunchy, a little salty from the feta and olives, and actually filling—not the kind of salad you’re hungry after 30 minutes later.

It also holds up really well in the fridge, which makes it one of those easy go-tos for lunches during the week.

Have it on its own, serve it as a side, or add chicken or salmon to turn it into a full meal.

Most people think fibre only helps if you’re constipated.
But the real goal isn’t just going more.

It’s going regularly.

That can mean:
• more consistency if you’re not going enough
• more form if things are too loose
• less urgency, less unpredictability

Because fibre doesn’t just “speed things up.” It changes the environment in your gut.

Different fibres:
• hold onto water (adding bulk when needed)
• form a gel (slowing things down when needed)
• feed gut bacteria (which helps regulate everything over time)

That’s why the goal isn’t more fibre from one source.
It’s the right mix, used consistently.

This is also why we always say:
start low, go slow, and give it time. ❤️

The benefits people notice most aren’t instant.

They’re what happens after a few weeks of showing up daily!

Most people aren’t lacking fiber.
They’re lacking fiber diversity.

Oatmeal is a great start. It gives you beta-glucan, a type of soluble fiber that’s been shown to support cholesterol and blood sugar.

But that’s just one type.

Your gut is made up of trillions of bacteria, and different types of fiber feed different ones. When your intake is too repetitive, you’re only supporting a smaller portion of that ecosystem.

Historically, we ate a much wider variety of plant foods without thinking about it. Different grains, seeds, legumes, fruits, vegetables. That naturally meant more fiber diversity.

Now, even with “healthy” habits like oatmeal every morning, it’s easy to fall into the same few foods on repeat.

This is where adding a mix can help.

Not to replace what you’re already doing,
but to build on it in a way that actually supports the gut more fully.

That’s how we use Bloom Boost. Added to foods we already eat, as a simple way to bring more variety back in.

We shared this recipe last year, but it’s still one of the easiest things we make! (And a favourite with our kids)

No yeast. No waiting. Just a soft, simple dough made with Greek yogurt and a few ingredients you likely already have.

Full recipe is in the slides, and we added a quick sauce on the blog if you want it!

If you’ve ever wondered what dietitians do at home: this what feeding actually looks like!

Not in a perfect or rigid way, but in a way that’s consistent enough that food feels pretty simple and low pressure most of the time.

We’re not trying to control how much our kids eat, but we’re also not leaving it completely open-ended either. There’s structure to it. Meals and snacks happen at predictable times, we decide what’s being offered, and they decide what and how much to eat.

We don’t make separate meals, but we make sure there’s something on the table they’re comfortable with. We don’t force bites, and we’re not focused on getting them to eat something in that moment — just being around it counts!

We keep things neutral. That means no “good job” for finishing, no comments if they barely eat, but we do stay curious and check in when it makes sense.

We don’t label foods as good or bad, and we’re mindful about not using food as a reward or to fix emotions. Sometimes dessert is just part of the meal, not something that has to be earned.

And yes, we still hold boundaries. Meals aren’t constantly replaced, but eating isn’t forced either.

We believe in raising a generation of kids who love and trust their bodies and who don’t fear food.

If you missed Part 1, go back — it explains the “why” behind all of this!

Most of us aren’t trying to be controlling about food. We are just trying to be good parents.

This can look like: encouraging a few more bites, questioning when they don’t eat as much, praising when they eat “well”, restricting certain foods, etc.

We know this comes from an honest place, but here’s what we know as dietitians:

Over time, those small ways we talk can add up in ways we don’t always see.

Instead of asking “am I hungry?” or “am I full?”, kids can start looking to us — like “did I eat enough?” or “what am I supposed to do?”

When external cues dominate, kids may:
• Lose trust in their body
→ They stop recognizing hunger and fullness clearly
• Eat based on rules, not need
→ “I should finish this” vs “I’m satisfied”
• Feel guilt or pressure around food
→ Especially with “good vs bad” or reward-based eating
• Struggle with self-regulation later
→ Overeating, undereating, or feeling “out of control”
• Become more reactive to restriction
→ The “forbidden food = more desirable” effect

This isn’t about doing it perfectly or never saying the “wrong” thing. It’s just about noticing what we’ve been taught and doing things a little differently where we can.

This is the why!

Part 2 is the how — what we actually say at the table, how we serve meals, and what we do when they don’t eat.

Comment “part 2” if you want a part 2!

You can be eating high protein
and still feel like something’s missing after meals.

We hear this all the time from people who feel like they’re “doing everything right”…
but are still back in the kitchen an hour later.

When you actually look at the meals, it’s usually not a protein issue.

It’s that the meal isn’t built to last.

Protein helps you feel full.
Fibre is what keeps it from wearing off.

And most people aren’t actually getting enough of it.

So it’s not that you need to eat less,
or try harder,
or have more willpower.

Your meals just need a bit more staying power.
Start by adding, not restricting:
beans, lentils, seeds, oat bran, Bloom Boost, artichokes, green peas, beats, okra, turnips, and whole grains.

Chewy Chocolate Haystack Cookies (with an Easter addition)

Chocolatey, chewy, no-bake, and made with simple ingredients you probably already have. We’ve been keeping a batch in the fridge all week.

They’re perfect for Easter, but honestly just as good as an everyday snack (skip the mini eggs and you’re set).

Comment “haystacks” and we’ll send you the recipe, or you can find it on the blog at bloomboost.ca.

This is the easiest way we both get a diverse blend of fibres in, daily: Just Bloom Boost + water.

Britt lets hers sit and thicken. (Bloomed)
Nat drinks hers right away. (Unbloomed)

Both work!
If you’re starting:
1 tbsp in 1 cup water
→ work up to 3 tbsp in ~2 cups water. Just give your body time to adjust.
It tastes mild, nutty, kind of like oatmeal.
We both notice the same thing:
It keeps us full between meals
and helps take the edge off cravings during the day.

It’s something we actually crave in the morning, and others have told us this, too!

Are you a let-it-bloom or drink-it-right-away?

You’re not wrong.

Berries are a great source of fibre.
We eat them all the time. 🤩

But this is where gut health advice often gets oversimplified:

Fibre isn’t just about hitting a number.
Your gut microbiome thrives on variety.

Different fibres do different things:
— they feed different bacteria
— they ferment differently
— they support digestion in different ways

And no single food gives you all of that.

Fruit gives you one type of fibre profile.
Seeds and grains give you another.

So it’s not about replacing foods like berries (we love berries, and encourage everyone to eat them!)

But it’s about building a pattern that includes multiple sources of fibre over time.

That’s exactly why we think about fibre differently here at Bloom Boost!
