🌯 As a dietitian, I see a lot of ‘health halo’ marketing in the wrap aisle!

☝🏻Wraps can provide energy, fibre and protein, however, don’t stress too much over finding the perfect wrap, focus more on the filling!

🍗 Add lean protein - chicken, tuna, tofu

🥗 Colour - Fill at least half the wrap with veges - tomato, cucumber, capsicum, grated carrot

🥑 Healthy fats - Avocado, hummus, nut butter

👉🏻 The wrap is the vessel which can provide a little protein plus fibre, and when paired with the right fillings, can become a nutrient dense meal!

🥑 🥕 🍅 🍇 🥔 🥦 🫘 🧅 🍌 🍏

Think of your gut microbiome as an ecosystem. Different microbes prefer different fibres. By eating 30+ different plants per week, you will fuel a diverse army of good bacteria to support your health.

🧀 Cheese is a nutrient-dense food, and depending on which type of cheese it can be energy-dense too

🥛Hard cheeses such as Parmesan and Cheddar tend to be higher in calcium and protein. They are also higher in fats which is generally more satisfying so will keep you full for longer

🧑‍🍳 Softer cheeses such as cottage cheese, ricotta and Burrata are naturally lower in kilojoules and saturated fats

👉🏻 The ‘healthiest’ cheese, is the one that fits your body’s needs!

🍳 As a dietitian, I am often reminding clients to include both protein and fibre with breakfast to assist with metabolic health, plus achieving their total daily protein and fibre goals

🥑 Fibre slows the digestion & absorption of sugar which will increase satiety plus glucose stability

🥚 Protein also assists with slowing digestion plus contributes to muscle protein synthesis, especially after an overnight fast

🦠 Fibre also contributes to digestive health plus feeds the gut microbiome

👉🏻 How are you fuelling your morning today?

🍞 If you are eating only one to two slices of toast a week, the type of bread won’t have a significant impact on your health outcomes, so choose the bread you find the most delicious!

🥖 If bread is a daily staple, then the type of bread can contribute toward your health goals

🥯 The composition of bread differs in regards to the content of protein and fibre, plus some are made with whole grains, wholemeal flour, wheat flour etc, whilst others may be fortified with iron, B12, zinc, magnesium

👉🏻 So flip the pack and check out the ingredients and nutrition panel to see which loaf is best for you

🥄 Not all yoghurts are created equal!

👉🏻 Whether you are grabbing a quick breakfast, a post-workout snack, or just feel like something sweet, a tub of yoghurt is an easy choice.

🫐 As a dietitian, I am often asked, ‘Which yoghurt is best?’ The answer? It depends on your goals!

🍽️ Day on a Plate

💡An example of a day of balanced meals and snacks to provide some inspiration

🥗 A helpful way to develop a healthy diet is to think about what you can add rather than what to take away

👉🏻 As always, the focus is on protein and fibre to create fulfilling and satisfying meals - of course carbs are included too!

Bon appétit 😋

The humble cracker

▫️Often dismissed as ‘non-nutritious’ or as a ‘health food’, the truth about crackers is a lot more nuanced!

▫️As a dietitian, I look at crackers as a delivery vehicle for nutrients

▫️Firstly, I look for fibre. A good source of fibre contains more than 5 grams per 100g.

▫️Next up, depending on what an individuals goals are, I would look at the calories, sodium or saturated fats.

▫️Finally, I may look at protein content, but I would generally rely on the topping for the protein

▫️Always pair your cracker with a protein and additional fibre source. For example, cheddar and tomato, smoked salmon, cream cheese and capers, or simply a nut butter and banana 😋

🥑 Guacamole vs Avocado

▫️When reaching for that delicious green dip, how much avocado does it actually contain?

▫️Whilst you may expect the main ingredient to be avocado, it may actually be cream cheese, oil or potato paste!

▫️Generally, guacamole will contain more avocado, but check the ingredient list to be sure.

▫️If your goal is to maximise the benefits of the incredible avocado, traditional guacamole is the winner!

▫️The best option? Make your own guacamole at home. You can then control the ingredients 👩🏼‍🍳

🥕 Hummus is a popular, nutritious dip, but not all are created equal!

🧄 The basic ingredients of traditional hummus include chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, oil and salt. The quantities of these ingredients are where different brands vary.

🤓 Always check the ingredient list and look for the product with the highest percentage of chickpeas and lowest sodium.

🍊 As a dietitian, one of the questions I get asked often about is supplements 💊 While there is a time and place for targeted supplementation, especially for verified deficiencies, when it comes to vitamin C, your food is the ultimate source!

🫑 When you eat a juicy orange or a crispy capsicum, you are not just getting vitamin C, you are getting a powerful team of nutrients that work together such as …

👉🏻 Bioflavonoids - these assit with absorption of vitamin C

👉🏻 Fibre - essential for gut health, satiety, and blood sugar control

👉🏻 Antioxidants and phytochemicals - protective compounds that offer broad health benefits

🥝🍅🥦 Prioritise vibrant, whole foods to nourish your body with vitamin C and all its incredible supporting cast!
