😋Still thoroughly enjoying these bowls - they're making the beginning of the week a heck of a lot easier. We've never really been in to batch cooking loads of the same thing because we (read 'Saz') get bored of the same thing multiple times in a week. This way it's easy to mix up the sauce or protein each night, or switch up the rice for some pasta or potato. Whatever we're switching it's a heck of a lot easier with at least one part of the meal already prepped😅. .
.
Some people don't love food prepping and we get it - it doesn't suit everyone. But it's helping us out in a busy season (and helping us to waste less food too🥕🥦🍆 which is important to us) so we're sticking with it for the time being! 👍

🤓So much of the 'noise' we refer to in the nutrition world is about selling a clear cut way/answer to all your nutrition wants and needs...a simple formula that will help you fix all those things you've struggled with for so long. Really simply, nutrition ISN'T black and white or a set of rules. What works for one person won't work for another, there's no magic formula and if someone's selling 'THE way' take a big 'ol step back. A 'healthiest diet' doesn't exist, there isn't an exact list of foods to eat to meet everyone's nutritional needs and there definitely isn't a magical macronutrient split. .
.
🧐Maybe it feels frustrating if food has been a battle for you but it CAN be really freeing too in the fact that you might just not have found what works for you yet to feel your best in this season. We love working with people on this stuff because it feels SO good when a bit of outside help/perspective/guidance encourages people along the path of feeling physically better but mentally well at the same time too🧠. If you ever have questions about the process, feel free to send us a message, we'd love to help you too 🥰

NOPE. Not worse than fresh 🥕🥦🍆
.

There are definitely misconceptions about frozen and canned veggies - the wellness world will tell you to go organic/pesticide free/farmers market only/free range/gluten free/soy free/air free/taste free...ok so some of those are a joke but you get the drift 🤪 But PLEASE question this stuff - it's often not based on the evidence base 😖
.

Frozen veggies are a super easy, budget friendly💰 and low waste way to get your fibre/greens/micronutrients in. And they still taste great! Find creative ways to cook them - stir fry them, in curry/stews, with butter and chives... 😋 and ENJOY! The nutrients are locked in at freezing point so actually can contain more of those nutrients than the so called 'fresh' supermarket versions that have travelled a long way. Interesting hey! 🤓
.
Keep asking questions friends 👊

Anyone else on the 🎃 train yet?! It's actually the first year we've embraced it, we see the posts every year about pumpkin pies/lattes/spice etc and never joined the party 🤪. .
.
Until now!...LOVING the smell of warm 🎃 loaf and having it ready for breakfasts and snacks and basically eating eat daily. Especially with the ☔️ and chillier weather - YUM. Reheat it or eat it cold with a nice layer of PB🥜😋. Loving that it doesn't take long either and leaves the kitchen smelling so GOOD 👊
