      Being a dietitian, people are sometimes surprised
      Being a dietitian, people are sometimes surprised to hear that I don’t love salads 🤷🏼‍♀️ I often find them unsatisfying and I’d way rather something hot and cooked as a meal. That being said, if there’s a variety of textures, a yummy dressing, and some starches, it might definitely grab my attention! Here’s a satisfying and simple pasta kale salad if you’re like me and aren’t a fan of big bowls of leafy greens 😅. This one is vegetarian, but feel free to throw in some chicken, salmon, shrimp, ham, or anything else your heart desires ❤️ Combine the following: - 200g (1/2 box) of pasta of your choice, cooked and cooled - 1 bunch of kale, chopped and massaged with olive oil - cherry tomatoes, halved - 4 stalks of celery, thinly sliced - Kalamata olives, sliced and pitted - feta cheese, crumbled - mini bocconcini cheese, halved - 1 can of cannellini or great northern beans, drained and rinsed - store bought Italian dressing What are some of your favourite salad toppings? #kale #pasta #pastasalad #feta #cheese #salad #lunchbox #lunchideas #easymeal #greens #veggies #dietitian #nutrition #nourished #satisfying

      Let me introduce the newest member of our family, Sophie. She’s already 3 months old ❤️ While I’m so excited to get back to seeing clients again soon and engaging with adults (hello baby brain 🤪), I’m fully soaking up these full days with my two under two babies 💕 In these last couple of years with two pregnancies, I’ve seen my body take on so many different and new forms. I’ve gained weight, AND I’ve also gained a very full heart and a whole new appreciation and love for this body. It’s definitely been challenging getting used to how different I look in this new season of my life, but I’m continuing to work on body acceptance and now more than ever realize the importance of eating ENOUGH each and every day so that I can show up as the mom and woman I want to be in life. Remember that it’s normal for our bodies to change throughout our lives! We won’t look like we did in adolescence or young adulthood forever, and that’s okay. ❤️ I’ll be back to seeing clients in early December and am always here to help you work towards becoming an intuitive eater and accepting your body! 🥰 Until then, Alexandra is always accepting new clients 😊 📸 @westcoastweddingphotography #bodyacceptance #postpartum #prenatalnutrition #breastfeeding #postpartumnutrition #dietitian #intuitiveeating #bodychanges #pregnancy #twoundertwo #baby #toddler

      Did you know that half a cup of roasted chickpeas
      Did you know that half a cup of roasted chickpeas provides about 7 grams of fibre! Women need at least 25 grams of fibre per day and men need about 38 grams, and most of us aren't getting close to that. Adding legumes, like chickpeas and beans, to your diet is a great way to up the fibre. These crunchy Roasted Garlic Chickpeas make for a great snack or as an added protein topper for bowls and salads.

      Smoothies are a wonderful way to incorporate fruit
      Smoothies are a wonderful way to incorporate fruit and vegetables into your day! They make a great snack or addition to any meal. Since they're liquid, smoothies often don't keep us feeling full for as long as a solid food meal would. By incorporating protein, fats, and fibre, you can help to make a smoothie more satisfying. You may also want to consider pairing your smoothie with solid foods for a more balanced meal, for example having a smoothie with eggs and toast on the side. Here are some examples of ingredients you can add to your next smoothie: Protein: Greek yogurt, protein powder, nut/seed butters, tofu, cottage cheese, skim milk powder Fats: nut/seed butters, hemp hearts, avocado, whole milk, full fat yogurt, Fibre: fruit (e.g. berries, banana, mango, pineapple, peaches, melon), vegetables (e.g. spinach, kale), chia seeds, ground flax, oat bran, wheat germ This Morning Berry Smoothie uses only 4 ingredients and takes less than 5 minutes to make. • 1⁄2 cup orange juice • 1 cup frozen mixed berries • 1⁄4 cup vanilla Greek yogurt • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder Smoothies are also wonderful if you're experiencing a poor appetite or it's too hot out to cook 🥵 📸 @kristen_baking #smoothie #protein #breakfast #postworkoutsnack #snack #fibre #fruit #berriesmoothie #quickmeal #nutrition #dietitian #yummy #refreshing
