The holidays are filled with delicious meals and treats, but did you know they can also be an opportunity to support your fertility? .nutrition.coach shares a few thoughtful choices that you can enjoy the season while giving your body the nutrients it needs for reproductive health. Here’s how:

1️⃣ Load Up on Leafy Greens: Spinach, kale, and Brussels sprouts are rich in folate and antioxidants, which support egg and s***m health.

2️⃣ Enjoy Healthy Fats: Snack on nuts, seeds, and avocado to promote hormone production.

3️⃣ Focus on Lean Proteins: Turkey, chicken, or plant-based options can keep you full and balanced.

4️⃣ Add Berries & Citrus: These fruits are antioxidant powerhouses, perfect for a festive side or dessert.

5️⃣ Limit Processed Sugars: Swap sugary treats for naturally sweetened options like dark chocolate or honey.

.nutrition.coach shares tips for when you’re trying to lose weight during the holidays👇🏻

The holidays are all about joy, connection, and delicious food but they don’t have to derail your weight-loss goals!

Here are some gentle reminders to help you enjoy the season mindfully while staying on track:
1️⃣ Focus on Protein & Veggies: Build your plate with lean protein and colorful vegetables before reaching for heavier dishes.
2️⃣ Portion Control Is Key: Savor your favorites in smaller portions—it's all about balance!
3️⃣ Stay Hydrated: Drinking water helps curb unnecessary snacking and supports digestion.
4️⃣ Move Daily: A festive walk or quick workout can help balance out holiday treats.
5️⃣ Practice Grace: One indulgent meal won’t ruin your progress. Enjoy it, then get back to your routine.

Remember, the holidays are about more than food, focus on creating memories, connecting with loved ones, and celebrating all your progress this year 🎉

Have you ever tried tofu before? Tofu is a great plant based protein to enjoy when you have CKD. Research shows that eating a more plant based diet is key for managing kidney disease in a healthy way + even slowing the progression of CKD.

Instead of a meat-based entree this holiday season, try a plant based entree!

This marinated tofu “steak” is a great option to pair with a side of mashed potatoes/stuffing and veggies! It’s lower sodium and lower potassium too! 🎉

Ingredients:
-1 block of extra firm tofu
-2 tbsp coconut aminos
-1 tbsp liquid smoke
-3 cloves of garlic, minced
-½ tsp garlic powder
-1 tsp black pepper
-2 tbsp maple syrup
-1-2 tbsp of oil (I like to recommend avocado oil or olive oil)

Directions:
Take the tofu out of the package & squeeze as much water out of it as you can. You can also use a tofu press to drain the water as well, but that takes more time. Slice the tofu into 4 thick slices and set aside.
In a shallow dish/bowl, add the coconut aminos, liquid smoke, black pepper, garlic powder, maple syrup, and minced garlic. Stir well.
Add the sliced tofu to the coconut aminos mixture and let the tofu marinate for 1-2 hours (the longer the better!).

Heat a pan on medium heat and add the oil. Add the tofu to the pan and pour in the marinade. Cook on medium heat for about 10 minutes or until the tofu becomes slightly browned. Flip the tofu halfway through to ensure both sides are browned.

Nutrition for 1 serving (Makes 4 servings; 1 serving=¼ block of tofu):
-200 calories
-140 mg sodium
-0.5 gm fiber
-190 mg potassium
-12 gm protein
