                                            A BALANCED PLATE 
Building a balanced plate doesn't have to be complicated. 
Here are some tips to help you meet your daily nutrient requirements and your health goals, one meal at a time.
✨️ Fill 1/2 your plate with a variety of VEGETABLES- broccoli, dark leafy greens, capsicum and carrots are a great source of antioxidants
✨️ Choose a lean PROTEIN source to fill 1/4 of your plate (~palm size)- oily fish (salmon, sardines, mackerel), tofu, tempeh, chicken breast, eggs, beans or turkey
✨️ Choose complex CARBOHYDRATES to fill 1/4 of your plate with low GI wholegrains and starchy veg- brown rice, quinoa, sweet potato, pumpkin
✨️ Include HEALTHY FATS- a drizzle of cold pressed olive, h**p or flax oil, 1/4 avocado, handful of nuts, 1 Tbsp h**p seeds for anti-inflammatory properties
