💫 Addition not exclusion
To help you feel your best, stop trying to restrict what you eat and start thinking about what you can add in.
The simplest meals and snacks can easily be made more nutrient dense, more filling, more satiating or tasty by some simple additions.
🤩 Variety is the spice of life, right?!
🫣 What about eating the same thing every day? I know it’s easier, and you are probably already overwhelmed and have total decision fatigue - but that can contribute to the “safe” foods and the old reliables.
🦠 The gut bacteria love a bit of variety though, and our body loves a varied gut microbiome, so try and change it up!
Let’s use some examples for breakfast:
1️⃣ If you love oats or Greek Yoghurt at brekkie add a variety of seeds (flax, h**p, chia, sunflower, pumpkin) and nuts (walnuts, Brazil, almond, pecan, cashew)
2️⃣ If you like an egg based breakfast, add colour (spinach, mushrooms, tomatoes, spring onions, red onions, courgette) and serve with a different topping on your favourite sourdough toast (avocado, butter, hummus, nut butter, tahini, chia jam)
3️⃣ If you like a smoothie in the morning then add the seeds and nut butters and vary your fruit - and frozen is perfect (blueberries, strawberries, mango, pineapple, cherries, banana) and why not add some veggies too (avocado, cauliflower, spinach, broccoli, cucumber)
The key thing is that if your shopping list stays the same every week, your pantry and freezer staples don’t change, then you won’t be able to change it up!
➡️ Screenshot this list and add at least 2 different seeds, nuts, fruit and vegetables to your shopping list for your next shop….
