What is a Nourishing Breakfast Bowl?

In my opinion, a nourishing breakfast bowl contains a variety of nutrient-dense, colorful, seasonal ingredients. A Nourishing Breakfast Bowl is not limited to the ingredients in this recipe. You can easily make it your own by using your favorite fruits, vegetables, and other ingredients. To make your bowl as nourishing as possible, I recommend opting for locally-grown, in-season ingredients. You can customize your bowl based on your dietary preferences and needs. I recommend avoiding any foods you’re sensitive or intolerant to- at least until you’ve completed the necessary gut-healing protocol and can optimally digest those foods!

If you suspect you have any unknown food sensitivities or intolerances, I’d love to talk to you about it. Contact me, here!

What You Need to Make a Nourishing Breakfast Bowl

Potatoes or Squash

Potatoes and squashes are starchy vegetables that provides us with loads of fiber and prebiotics, which are essential for a healthy gut. Take your pick from red potatoes, sweet potatoes, butternut squash, kabocha squash, and others that are in season.

Radishes

Radishes are known for their detoxification properties. They help cleanse the blood and filter toxins out of the body. They are low in calories, yet high in water and nutrient content. For these reasons and more, they’re an important part of a Nourishing Breakfast Bowl!

Arugula

Arugula, technically part of the lettuce family, is potent in function and flavor. It’s slightly spicy and loaded with antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals. The nutrients in arugula  have been shown to reduce overall inflammation in the body, promote healing, and support digestion. 

Hemp Seeds

As a variety of the cannabis plant, hemp is making a name for itself this year. However, it does not actually contain any cannabinoids- meaning, it doesn’t have any psychological affects, like CBD. Better yet, it does contain high amounts of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, which are known for reducing inflammation, boosting heart health, and balancing hormones. 

High Quality Meat

It’s no surprise that I am a huge fan of meat. Well, high quality, well-sourced meat, like 100% grass-red or pasture-raised. The micro and macronutrients in meat are undeniably necessary and beneficial, including all 9 essential amino acids, B vitamins, iron, omega 3 and 6, and so much more. Alternatively, you can use pasture-raised eggs!

Ingredient Substitutions

As I mentioned above, you can easily customize your own Nourishing Breakfast Bowl. I recommend avoiding any foods that you are sensitive or intolerant to. Here are some ideas to get you started:

Starchy Vegetables: any potatoes or in-season squashes 

Digestion-Boosting Vegetables: beets, radishes, turnips, fennel, Jerusalem artichoke

Leafy Greens: kale, spinach, chard, arugula

Antioxidant-Rich Fruits: berries, apples, mulberries, grapefruit

Fatty Acids: sprouted nuts or seeds, avocado, melted ghee

Animal Proteins: chicken or beef sausage, eggs, bacon

 

How to Meal Prep Nourishing Breakfast Bowls

To make enough nourishing breakfast bowls for your week, you can double or even triple the recipe. I typically make at least a double batch to provide 4-5 breakfasts. Keep the leftovers in an airtight glass Tupperware in the fridge.

Pro tip: Keep half in the fridge for the coming day or two. Store half in the freezer for the later half of the week. This keeps your food fresher longer!

Are you a Nutrition Professional who feels overwhe Are you a Nutrition Professional who feels overwhelmed and burdened by running a small business?! 

As a FNTP, who previously ran my own nutritional therapy practice, I know what it’s like to wear many hats. And let’s face it, small business owners can’t do it ALL. 

I‘ve personally experienced the overwhelm that comes with running your own business.

That’s when I decided to change directions and pursue content creation full time. Because I immediately saw the need for content creation in the nutrition sphere. Why?

Because as a nutrition professional, you want to share content that is accurate and original. Who’s better qualified to help you create content than a trained nutrition professional??

See where I’m going here? 🙃

I love combining my two passions: content creation and nutrition. Better yet, I love using these skill sets to better your business!

Hi, it’s me. I’m still here! 👋🏼 I’ve Hi, it’s me. I’m still here! 👋🏼 

I’ve taken an unintentional (yet, very long) hiatus from this social media account and my blog. But, I’m back for a good while (I think 😅). Here’s what’s been going on lately..

In case you didn’t know, I started my own  business as a Content Creator in 2018, while I was in school at the Nutritional Therapy Association. As a trained FNTP, my niche is specifically holistic health and nutrition. It’s a combination of my two expertise: nutrition + content creation!

As a FNTP with a strong passion for real food + balanced nutrition, I’ve always kept this account as an educational resource for you. And as a fun creative outlet for me, as well!

But, I’m here to say, it’s time for a new direction. As my content creation business continues to grow and as I become more invested as a Content Creator, it only feels right to bring a little bit of my profession to this space! 

So while I still plan to share nutritional tidbits and encouragement, I also want to use this platform as a resource for my content creation business.

Sound good?

If you’re a fellow FNTP or nutrition professional, feel free to reach out for content creation support! 

And, if you’re here for nutritional education, thank you for being here and participating in this awesome community!! 💛

STOP SKIPPING BREAKFAST & DRINKING BLACK COFFEE ON STOP SKIPPING BREAKFAST & DRINKING BLACK COFFEE ON AN EMPTY STOMACH 🛑

*said with grace and love*

Seriously, I spent years sipping on black coffee before eating breakfast. But, not anymore. 

Here’s what happens when you skip breakfast and drink black coffee every morning:
👉🏼 The caffeine (AKA stimulant) spikes your blood sugar levels.
👉🏼 Your body moves into fight-or-flight mode, increasing stress hormones.
👉🏼 A couple hours later, the cravings and yawns kick in, so you binge on sugar and *more* coffee.

And in case you’re thinking, “I seem to feel just fine after drinking black coffee and skipping breakfast,” there’s a good chance your body is living on stress hormones and relies on the caffeine to keep your body functioning. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news 😬

Soooo, what should you do instead for a healthy metabolism & happy hormones?

Eat a balanced breakfast with protein, carbs, and fat, FIRST. Ideally, within an hour of waking up. Then, enjoy a cup of fresh coffee (preferably with high quality cream or milk) ☕️ 

TBH, there’s nothing better than a hot cup of coffee with frothy, raw milk 🤩 what’s your coffee order?

And, yes, my shirt says “you’re the pumpkin to my spice” because ‘tis the season 🎃 *from @hannahmcmorrison

I eat carbs at every meal! 🍎🥖🥔🫓🥛🍫

Here’s why…

Our bodies NEED carbohydrates for: 
• Physical energy
• Brain power
• Muscle repair and growth
• A healthy gut microbiome
• Metabolic efficiency 
• Healthy digestion 
• AND SO MUCH MORE

This is especially true when you’re exercising and strength training regularly!! 💪🏼

Some of my favorite carb sources are:
• Fresh sourdough bread 
• Sweet potatoes and red potatoes 
• Squash and carrots
• Seasonal fruit 
• Honey and maple syrup 
• Raw milk
• Cassava tortillas and pasta 
• Homemade baked goods with cassava flour
• Dark chocolate 

What are your favorite carbs?! 😋

As someone who aims to as many real, whole foods a As someone who aims to as many real, whole foods as possible (and always GF), I’ve learned a thing or two about “healthy baking.” Here are the swaps I always make in my baked goods for healthy hormones, metabolism, and tastebuds! 👇🏼

• Grass fed (raw, if possible) butter instead of oil 
• @bobsredmill 1-to-1 GF flour instead of all purpose flour
• Raw sugar, coconut sugar, honey, or maple syrup instead of white sugar 
• Substitute a little bit of the flour with protein powder or collagen (usually about 10% of the total flour)
• Grass fed (raw, if possible) milk > nut milk
• Cassava, oat, or GF blend flour > almond flour

Save this post to refer back to this season! And, happy baking 🧁🍪

5 “healthy” habits that actually cause MORE st 5 “healthy” habits that actually cause MORE stress in the body…

1. Drinking coffee on an empty stomach
2. Working out fasted 
3. Limiting consumption of fruit and natural sugars
4. Opting for “low fat” foods
5. Drinking a gallon of water daily.

All of these habits add excessive stress to the body and can eventually lead to symptoms of burn out and physiological imbalances, like:
PMS
Weight gain
Acne
Insomnia
Chronic fatigue
AND SO MUCH MORE

Sometimes, our bodies need us to intentionally do LESS, not more. If you’re in a constant (physical or mental) state of stress, this means YOU!

Did you know these “healthy” habits could be detrimental to your health?
