Don't sleep on eggplant!

This purple fruit (yes, eggplant is a fruit!) isn’t just pretty on the plate - it’s loaded with nutrients that support your brain, heart, and gut. 💜

🧠 Its skin not only gives eggplant its purple color, but it also contains powerful antioxidants that may help protect your brain cells.

💪 It’s rich in fiber for digestive health and potassium for a healthy heart, plus, it’s over 90% water, so it fills you up without weighing you down!

✨ And, here's a tasty way to try it? Whip up this simple, creamy roasted eggplant dip (aka baba ganoush):

🥣 Recipe:

1 large eggplant, halved
3 Tbsp olive oil, divided
2 garlic cloves
2 Tbsp tahini
Juice of 1 lemon
1 Tbsp fresh parsley
1 tsp ground cumin
½ tsp paprika
Salt & pepper to taste

Directions:

2️⃣ Scoop out the flesh and blend with the remaining ingredients until smooth.
3️⃣ Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle parsley on top, and serve with veggies or pita!

👩🏻‍🍳 A healthy, flavorful dip that’s perfect for snacking and sharing.

🖐 Five Steps to Building a Balanced Bento Box

My clients are busy people, always on the go, and looking for ways to make meals and snacks simple and doable.

Bento boxes are a fun way to create a balanced snack that is healthy, delicious, and mobile!

With the right combination of ingredients, you can build a balanced bento box that will keep you full until your next meal.

👉Swipe for details to get started.

① Container:
You can find traditional Japanese-style bento boxes online or use any airtight container with multiple compartments.

② Protein:
Protein is essential to any balanced snack and keeps you satisfied between meals. Some good options include boiled eggs, cottage cheese, hummus, edamame beans, and roasted chickpeas.

③ Vegetables and Fruit:
Go for color here! Carrot sticks, cucumber slices, cherry tomatoes, and berries are all convenient. Eating various colorful vegetables and fruits ensures you consume plenty of health-promoting antioxidants.

④ Carbs:
Carbohydrates are a great source of quick energy. Select complex carbs like whole-grain crackers, pretzels, mini-bagels, rice cakes, or pita chips.

⑤Healthy fats
Nuts and seeds are perfect here and add great texture! Olives, avocado and nut butter will also add variety and a good dose of healthy fats. Including healthy fats in your snack game can support the reduction of inflammation and contribute to feeling fuller longer.
