Not to be dramatic, but this salad is a problem.

One bite and suddenly you’re:�• Craving salad every day😱�• Making homemade dressing like a pro�• Wondering why all meals aren’t this good

🥗 It’s packed with too many “good for you” ingredients…leafy greens, sweet spring strawberries, crunchy almonds, microgreens, protein of choice (chicken, chickpeas, salmon…you choose!), and (optional) creamy, tangy goat cheese.�
🍓 And, the strawberry lemon dressing is truly addictive! Like, I want to drink a shot of this dressing, addictive.🥳

😂 Did I fool you???😉�

I rarely make the same meal over and over, but this easy chicken salad recipe is always a hit with my family. ⁣

This is a “no-recipe” recipe. Add ingredient amounts to your liking…⁣
✅ Cooked chicken breast (or store bought rotisserie chicken)⁣
✅ Chopped apple⁣
✅ Chopped pecans⁣
✅ Lots of fresh chopped rosemary ⁣
✅ Combo of Greek yogurt & mayo⁣
✅ Salt & pepper.⁣

Tastes even better, well-chilled the next day!⁣

I’m loving it lately on seedy gluten-free crackers.⁣

⭐️Save for when you want a super easy, nourishing, high protein, high fiber (with the crackers) meal!⁣

Quick story👉Back in my cross country + track days, my friends and I had a post-practice ritual: turkey avocado sandwiches from our local deli-mine always piled high with sprouts. 🌱⁣

I’d top it off with frozen yogurt and somehow still be hungry for dinner later.😳⁣

Sadly, my metabolism may have changed😭but my love for sprouts hasn’t—and it turns out, broccoli sprouts are one of the most nutrient-dense, anti-inflammatory foods you can eat. They’re packed with sulforaphane to support gut health, brain health, and healthy aging.⁣

➡️Swipe through the carousel for the health benefits + easy ways to add them to your meals 🥗⁣
And, save this under “nutrition tips” & tell me—are you team sprouts-yes or no???⁣

🍀Something green for St Patrick’s Day!⁣

I could eat this fully loaded avocado toast everyday! It’s the perfect post-tennis match meal w/ carbs, protein, & healthy fats.⁣

Start by topping your bread (I used bread) with a combo of cottage cheese mixed with basil seeds (hello fiber!!!) and cherry tomatoes. Then layer on avocado + sprouts (or arugula or micro greens). That’s it! So easy (5 minutes to make), nutritious, and delicious!⁣

Save & share this with someone you think will love it too! Snd, LMK what green foods you’re eating today!⁣

Do you think the low FODMAP diet means bland food?

One of the biggest complaints I hear from people with IBS is that once they remove onion and garlic, their meals suddenly feel… boring.

But here’s the good news: most single-ingredient spices and herbs are naturally low FODMAP, which means you can still build tons of flavor without triggering symptoms.

As a registered dietitian specializing in gut health, IBS, and the low FODMAP diet, my spice cabinet is full of flavor boosters like:

✨ smoked paprika
✨ cumin
✨ turmeric
✨ rosemary
✨ cinnamon

…and so many more!

🌶️ Comment “Spice It Up” and I’ll send you the post with a free printable guide: 70+ Low FODMAP Spices, Herbs, and Flavor Enhancers

🌱 Happy World Pulses Day!⁣

If you’ve been around here for a while, you know I LOVE pulses. But what exactly are they?⁣
✨ Pulses are the dried edible seeds of legumes — think lentils, chickpeas, beans, and dried peas.⁣

They’re one of my favorite foods for healthy aging, metabolic health, and especially GUT HEALTH.⁣

Here’s why:⁣
🦠 They’re rich in fiber that feeds beneficial gut bacteria⁣
💪 Packed with plant-based protein for blood sugar balance + satiety⁣
❤️ Naturally low in fat and cholesterol-free⁣
🌾 Loaded with folate, iron, magnesium, and potassium⁣
🔥 Support steady energy and reduced inflammation⁣

Even better? Pulses are:⁣
🌎 Sustainable — they require less water and help improve soil health⁣
💰 Budget-friendly — one of the most affordable sources of plant protein⁣

Good for your gut. Good for your wallet. Good for the planet!⁣

To encourage you to eat more pulses, I’ve got 28 recipes to make eating more lentils, chickpeas, and beans easy and delicious. From cozy soup to fresh salads to a few fun dessert surprises, there’s something for everyone!⁣

✨Want all of my pulse recipes in one place?⁣

And, share your favorite way to enjoy pulses with me!!!⁣
