Beauty and the Foodie

Lifestyle Coach & Nutritionist Hi Friends! I help clients live their best life, by filling the gap between where they are now, and where they want to be.

My name is Lara, an avid foodie at heart and life philanthropist by day and a wellness junkie who adores skincare and all things beautiful by night. By identifying where growth is desired, setting goals and objectives, and holding accountability, clients will reach their highest goals and dreams. You'll never have a dull conversation when getting coached by me, and I love to indulge on exploring new places to eat and talk about the beauty of never-ending topics that interest me. I'm here to provide accountability, providing factual information, and build strong relationships with all my clients. Without doubt I believe that nutrition is more than just solving the internal extremities, it is also there to balance out your lifestyle choices as a whole. Are you going through a stage in your life where you feel lost, confused, or conflicted? Do you feel like you’re disconnected with the people around you, friends, co-worker’s or even with yourself? Are you feeling a lack of motivation, or lack and understanding of your true purpose? Or do you just want to upgrade your life to the next level? I've been trained, certified, helped numerous clients AND experienced them myself. I want to help people find themselves, find direction, and true happiness in all aspects of their lives. We all have a light within us. You are already born with the qualities you will need to get everything you have ever wanted! Let's chat and get you going to reach each milestone, one at a time. Connect with me by sending me a DM!

✨ Beauty and the Foodie is back!

I know it’s been a while… but here’s a little mini reel of me turning leftover fridge ingredients into a meal prep for the week 🥦🍅🥕. Just combining whatever’s on hand and making it work!

Life’s been a bit chaotic lately, but I’ll be posting more soon about all the things I love to do 💛

Ingredients:
Lean ground pork
1 bag of Kale Salad
Low Sodium Soya Sauce
Miso Paste
Hoisin Sauce
Sesame Oil
Dumpling Wrappers

Directions:
Cook your preferred protein source until golden brown, add your sauces and seasonings to taste. Boil water and cook your dumpling wrappers, once cooked place in ice cold water to prevent from sticking together. Add your vegetables in with the cooked protein source and then add the dumpling wrappers last. This made 4 portions!

✨Food freedom is about more than just what’s on the plate—it’s about enjoying the moment and making memories. A couple nights ago we had family dinner (made with love by my amazing sister-in-law 💕) was a reminder that food is connection, culture, and comfort. No guilt, just gratitude. 🥂🍴

Let’s normalize balance, joy, and savoring every bite.

✨Food freedom means enjoying all foods without guilt ✨

Carbs often get a bad reputation, but here’s the truth: 🥖🍝

➡️ Carbs are your body’s main source of energy
➡️ They fuel your brain + muscles
➡️ Pasta, rice, bread and even potatoes can absolutely fit into a balanced lifestyle

It’s not about cutting out your favourite foods — it’s about balance, variety, and enjoying what makes you feel good. So yes, that cozy bowl of pasta has a place on your plate. 💛

📷 Pumpkin Soup Recipe (Credits/Derived from Nora Cooks)

1. In a large pot, warm the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they caramelize. I like to sprinkle a teaspoon of sugar and a pinch of salt over them as they cook. They should turn a beautiful golden brown.
2. Once the onions are caramelized, add the garlic and cook for an additional minute, stirring constantly.
3. Next, add the salt, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg. Stir the spices into the onions and garlic mixture.
4. Pour in the pumpkin puree and broth, mixing everything thoroughly. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 15 minutes.
5. Use an immersion blender to blend the soup directly in the pot, or transfer it in batches to a regular blender, then return it to the pot.
6. Stir in the maple syrup and coconut milk. Serve with fresh bread if desired and enjoy!

Notes

1. You can also drizzle coconut milk or plain vegan yogurt on top for extra flavor. Pepitas add a nice crunch as a garnish.
2. If you prefer fresh pumpkin, it’s a bit more work: take a 4-pound pie pumpkin, cut it into wedges (removing the seeds), and roast in the oven at 400°F for about 20 minutes until tender. Peel the flesh from the skin and use it as you would pumpkin puree.
3. Store leftovers in a covered container for 3-4 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.

Double-tap this post if you’re excited for soup season! ♥️

🌱 Scarcity and abundance play major roles in my Life Coaching journey in shaping clients' mindsets and influencing their actions!

A scarcity mindset often has fear, insecurity, and self-limiting beliefs, constraining my clients' potential and hindering their progress. On the other hand, embracing an abundance mindset fosters optimism, resilience, and a sense of possibility, empowering clients to see opportunities where they once saw obstacles.

My job is to help clients break free from limitations, cultivate gratitude, and unlock their full potential for growth and success!

🌱 Here are five beginner-friendly tips and tricks for easy meal prep, straight from the playbook of a Nutritionist:

1. Plan Ahead: Take a few minutes each week to plan your meals. Choose simple recipes with common ingredients to streamline your grocery shopping and cooking process.
2. Start Small: Begin with meal prepping just one or two meals per week. Gradually increase the number of meals you prep as you become more comfortable with the process.
3. Batch Cooking is Key: Prepare large batches of staple ingredients such as grains, proteins, and vegetables. These can be mixed and matched throughout the week to create a variety of meals.
4. Invest in Quality Containers: Invest in a set of high-quality, reusable containers in various sizes. Opt for containers that are microwave-safe, dishwasher-safe, and freezer-friendly to make storing and reheating your meals a breeze.
5. Include a Balance of Nutrients: Aim to include a balance of macronutrients (carbohydrates, proteins, and fats) and micronutrients (vitamins and minerals) in each meal. Incorporate a variety of colorful fruits and vegetables to ensure you’re getting a range of nutrients.

With these tips and tricks, you’ll be well on your way to mastering the art of meal prep and fueling your body with nutritious, delicious meals, even on the busiest of days!

3. **Happiness boosts well-being**: Prioritizing happiness uplifts your overall well-being. It enhances your mood, strengthens relationships, and fosters resilience in the face of adversity. When you're happy, you're better equipped to handle life's ups and downs.

🌱 Happy Monday B&Fs! 🥰

Picture this: You're embarking on a journey to transform your dreams into reality, and I'm your trusty guide. Here are the golden rules of goal setting, straight from the playbook of a seasoned Life Coach:

1. **Clarity is Key**: We start by crystalizing your vision. Define your goals with such precision that they become as vivid as a technicolor dream. When you know exactly what you're aiming for, the path becomes clearer.

2. **SMART Goals Rule**: We don't just set any old goals; we set SMART goals – Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound. This framework ensures your goals are concrete and actionable, leaving no room for ambiguity.

3. **Break it Down**: Big dreams can seem daunting, so we slice them into bite-sized chunks. Each step forward becomes a victory, propelling you closer to your ultimate destination.

4. **Stay Accountable**: You're not in this alone. We create a support system to keep you on track. Whether it's a friend, a mentor, or me, your coach, having someone to hold you accountable keeps the fire burning.

5. **Celebrate Every Win**: Every milestone, no matter how small, is cause for celebration. Acknowledge your progress and revel in your achievements. It's these victories that fuel your journey and remind you of how far you've come.

With these golden rules in your pocket, you're not just setting goals – you're crafting a roadmap to your best life. So, let's get started and make those dreams a reality!
