My wonderful student dietitian chose the most perfect soup recipe for our cooking class today!

I loved the “throw everything into a pot” simplicity, and couldn’t believe how much flavor there was given how few spices were used and that there was no added stock cube. The creamy coconut milk balanced out the heat from the chilis beautifully. Will definitely be making this one again!

Ingredients:

-1 tbsp coconut oil or olive oil
-2 ½ cups water
-1 can light coconut milk (398ml)
-1 can diced tomatoes (398ml)
-3 cups of broccoli florets
-2 cups of cubed butternut squash
-1 cup chopped peeled carrots
-1 cup frozen peas
-1 tsp garlic powder
-1 tsp salt
-1 tsp red pepper flakes
-1 cup uncooked red lentils
-2 tbsp apple cider vinegar

Directions:
- In a large pot, combine the oil, water, coconut milk, diced tomatoes (with
juices), broccoli, butternut squash, carrots, green beans, red pepper flakes, salt,
garlic powder, and red lentils. Stir well.
- Cover and bring to a low boil over high heat.
- Once boiling, uncover, reduce heat to medium, and stir (scrape any lentils off
the bottom).
-Cover again and simmer for 15–20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lentils are
soft and veggies are just tender.
- Stir in 1–2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar (to taste). Don’t worry if the soup
separates slightly, that’s normal. Serve and enjoy!
*Makes 8 cups

In honor of let’s lean into gentleness, towards ourselves and our bodies, when the world seems heavy ❤️

For years we have been given the message that if we are not happy with the size of our body, then it must be that we are either eating too much or not exercising enough - the old «calories in, calories out » speech.

NOTHING could be further from the truth. Body weight is complex, with MANY factors influencing the size of our body over the course of a lifetime. Most of the factors are not in our direct control.

Often times our attempts at controlling body size through restriction of calories and/ or excessive exercise will start to backfire and only add to baseline stress levels.

It is vital to understand that the size of our body is not what dictates our health or worth, nor is it a choice or habit.

It’s ☕️☕️☕️

While I’m a huge fan and rarely start a day without a cup, let me be clear: coffee is NOT breakfast!

While coffee does sharpen the mind and give a sense of perceived energy, there is no actual energy in it. Coffee can also cut appetite, therefore one may feel that their morning coffee is enough. This is simply not true and will probably just leave us running on empty and needing MANY more caffeine hits to get through the day.

Be sure to pair that cup with a solid meal, and then you’ll be unstoppable 😉 ☕️❤️

Today is the start of . This is a week dedicated to calling out the stigma, shame, trauma, and discrimination around body shape and size. Taking time to learn about the many places weight stigma shows up, as well as addressing our own biases is a great first step to creating more respectful, compassionate spaces for every body.

While my “gentle nutrition” approach may not be for everyone, I will ALWAYS be tough on my stance on diet culture and self-compassion.

It’s officially that pumpkin-spice-everywhere season 🎃This seems to be a topic almost as divisive as pineapple on pizza 🤣 But I’m curious, are you team «yay » or « nay » for the pumpkin spice latte? Let me know in the comments!

I don’t know about you, but September always gets me motivated to get a little more organized… and this says a lot, since I am not naturally an organized person!

What I’ve come to realize is that a few simple steps can go a long way. Trying to do too much at once only sets me up for failure.

If the perpetual student in you is feeling that itch to get into a better routine around food but don’t know where to start, maybe these suggestions can help.

Having a yummy, satisfying, filling afternoon snack is something I preach often. Leaving too long between meals can leave us hangry and running on fumes come the end of the day, just when we need energy to make supper/ help kids with homework, etc.

Generally, I recommend having a combination of carbs/ fruit for brain energy and a protein source to fill you up. But just what a «satisfying snack » looks like can vary widely depending on your tastes and what sounds good to you.

Here’s what mine is looking like today. I love this «snacking box » since it has a variety of textures and flavours going on and a bit of «fishy cracker fun ». I also know the combo of protein, carb and fibre should keep me full until my next meal. Bonus is that I am actually using the cute containers my kids have outgrown 😜

What does a satisfying afternoon snack look like for you?
