Winter Cravings explained 😋

As humans, we are wired to connect scent and emotion, as our sense of smell is directly linked to the brain’s limbic system: where memories and emotions live. This can explain why we crave certain tastes during the holidays. Additionally, colder air affects how we perceive scents.

Because molecules don’t move as quickly in low temperature, denser scents and aromas are more easily detected and can be perceived as more comforting, further encouraging cravings for such foods.

Secret Surprise Smoothie
🫐 SAVE THIS 🫐

Recipe & Instructions
180g silken or soft tofu, calcium-set
3/4 cup greek yogurt, 0% probiotic plain
1 cup frozen blueberries
1 medium frozen banana
1 tbsp ground flaxseed
1 tbsp maple syrup, optional for greater sweetness

Instructions
Add all ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth. Enjoy in a tall glass. You can top with fresh blueberries, h**p seeds, granola, and more if desired!

Note
This recipe creates one large smoothie or two smaller smoothies!

6-8g fibre (about 1/3 of your recommended intake of 25g fibre per day), 14-16g protein - how's that for a protein rich snack

Rich in ALA (alpha-linolenic acid- plant based omega-3) as well as phytoestrogens from the soft tofu, and anthocyanins from the blueberries make this not only nutritious, but satisfying and delicious.

How will you add more plant-based protein power into your diet? Start with giving this simple recipe a try :)

Enjoy 🫐

Ask yourself...

“What would my future self ask of me today?

Move a little more, drink more fluids, have more vegetables at mealtime, include probiotic-rich foods, or develop a better sleep routine?

Your future self will THANK YOU for the small changes you choose to focus on today and into 2026.

Whatever you do, think "my future self will thank me"!

Nervous system regulation: The nervous system and digestion are very much connected. When your body feels safe it signals to your parasympathetic nervous system that it can focus on essential functions, including digestion, instead of being in a state of “fight or flight” which can prioritize stress responses over digestion.

This means that habits that support nervous system regulation can also enhance digestion, metabolism and immune functions*.

WHAT CAN YOU DO?

✔️ Mindful eating: eat without screens, pay attention to each bite.

✅️ Getting enough rest: take some time for yourself between your daily obligations.

✔️ Regular movement: implementing a simple weekly routine where you have scheduled times to move your body can go a long way.

✅️ Stay hydrated: dehydration can disrupt nerve signals.

Add one habit: something that supports your body and feels doable (add a habit instead of restriction). For example, aiming to drink a full glass of water before breakfast to help reach your hydration goals.

Beyond biology, there is emotion. With the cold weather comes the holidays. Sweet and spiced tastes, vanilla and cinnamon scents, warm and nutrient-dense stews and pies, are often tied to baking with family, and gatherings with loved ones.

The cold weather can lead to a psychological desire for comfort, which is often associated with warm, rich, and sweet foods. This is how our traditions during winter months can also contribute to increased consumption and cravings.*
