My #1 Mom Hack for a Healthy Dinner

A massive headache took me out yesterday, and I was in no shape to make dinner or prepare anything…so take out it was!

As a Certified Nutritionist eating healthy is my thing, I love it, it makes me feel good, and keeps me healthy and energized so I can keep up with B…so I wasn’t about to sacrifice all of that just for a night of take out.

Luckily, a few months ago I discovered Crisp & Green which offers healthy salad bowls, warm bowls and smoothies! Literally all of my favorite things and makes life so much easier for me.

What can I say it has quickly become my #1 mom hack.

So last night we ran over to Crisp & Green to pick up an easy and healthy dinner!

My husband loves the fiesta bowl and I made my own bowl last night. We were able to have dinner with B, stay on track with our goals and bonus no dishes! I think this may need to be a weekly thing…

If you’ve tried Crisp & Green comment below and let me know what your favorite bowl is!?!

How to Feed a Family of 4 for Under $10 - RECIPE!

This has been such a fun blog series to create! It start back in March as a way to make wellness accessible to all, here’s the first blog in the series. I am so passionate about nutrition and consuming organic whole real foods that I wanted to share how easy and affordable it really can be for everyone! Often times people get stuck in the mindset that organic foods will be too expensive for their family, so they don’t even bother to shop for them. However, I am here to tell you that it is possible! I am here with my second recipe for this blog series and I’m going to show you how to feed a family of 4 for under $10…here’s the kicker…everything will be organic!!

Today’s recipe is one of my favorite quinoa bowls!

This recipe is packed with omega 3 fatty acids, protein, fiber and is super nutrient dense.

Ingredients:

Organic Quinoa ($2.97)

Organic Carrots ($1.46)

Organic Kale ($2.47)

Organic Avocado ($2.00)

Total = $8.90! That’s under my $10 budget, awesome!

The best part is that there will be quinoa left over for another meal or two, since $2.97 is for a full bag of organic quinoa!

Directions:

Cook quinoa, following directions on the bag. If you already have bone broth on hand you can use this in place of water to add more flavor, collagen protein, and nutrients.

Roast the carrots following my recipe HERE

Lightly sauté the kale in a skillet with a splash of bone broth or water.

Slice and dice the avocado, each person should receive 1/4 of a large avocado or 1/2 of a small avocado.

Put your quinoa bowls together using the 4 ingredients above! Portions will vary depending on the individual needs and personal requirements (to learn more about this schedule a 1:1 Nutrition appointment with me HERE

I created this recipe for my husband and I the other night, and we just loved it! Here is a picture of my bowl
