🧀✨ Build a Better Charcuterie Board ✨🧀

A healthy charcuterie board isn’t about cutting foods out — it’s about variety, balance, and satisfaction. Here are RD-approved items that bring flavor and nutrition to the table:

🥜 Nuts – almonds, pistachios, walnuts
🍓 Fresh fruit – grapes, berries, apples, pears
🍑 Dried fruit – figs, dates, apricots (a little goes a long way!)
🥕 Veggies – carrots, cucumbers, bell peppers
🥬 Dried veggies – veggie chips, roasted chickpeas
🧆 Dips – hummus, guacamole, or Greek yogurt–based dips
🍫 Dark chocolate – a sweet finish with antioxidants
🧀 Cheese – adds protein, calcium, and satisfaction
🥓 Lunchmeat & smoked salmon – easy protein options
🍿 Popcorn – whole-grain crunch
🫛 Edamame – plant protein + fiber
🫒 Olives & pickles – bold flavor, healthy fats, and tang
🌰 Figs & dates – naturally sweet, fiber-rich bites
Whole grain crackers-fiber rich

💡 Pair carbs with protein or healthy fats for better fullness and fewer blood sugar spikes.

Holiday hosting or everyday snacking — balance always beats perfection.

What a great event! 🙌

I had the opportunity to present on nutrition and wellness for the Northern Cincinnati Chamber of Commerce Safety Council, and I’m so thankful for the strong turnout and engaged audience.

I love sharing realistic, science-based nutrition strategies that people can actually use in their everyday lives—especially in workplace and community settings.

Thank you to the Northern Cincinnati Chamber of Commerce for having me and for prioritizing health and safety in our region!
