My name is Claudia and I am a Registered Dietitian living in the Philadelphia area! I am passionate about food and strive to make food equally enjoyable and nutritious.

My food philosophy is that we should enjoy the food we eat while taking care of our bodies. I am all about recipes that are simple, tasty, accessible, quick, and easy to prepare. I hope that by keeping a running record of my recipes I can inspire others to cook well for themselves. I've worked with a variety of patients and disease states, including: Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, Renal Failure (with and without dialysis), Cardiovascular Disease, and food allergies. I have also counseled patients in prenatal wellness, pediatrics, bariatrics, gastrointestinal medicine, and oncology.

I am also able to cater to individual health and nutrition concerns! For individuals who want to improve their health through nutrition, but who may or may not fall into any of the above categories, please don't hesitate to get in touch with me!

Mung Bean Curry Recipe

This recipe has been in development for months. I wanted to play around with the ingredients to increase protein and fiber, while decreasing saturated fat content. This original recipe was made with full-fat coconut milk, which is high in calories and saturated fat. While this is of course fine when consumed in moderation, I wanted to make this recipe something I could have frequently and rely on brainlessly to help me stay on track with my fiber and protein goals.

One discovery I've made is being able to replace the coconut milk with Fairlife milk (either 0% or 2 % fat, depending on your preference). This has dramatically decreased calorie and fat content, while increasing protein content. I add a small splash (I've never actually measured it out, I just keep it small knowing I can always add more if needed) of coconut extract. This helps to maintain the background coconut flavor without contributing as many calories.

One other benefit of this recipe is that it freezes well! I use 1-cup silicone molds to freeze the curry in individual servings for future quick grab and go meals. I will defrost one serving in the fridge overnight and then have it at the ready for an easy part of my lunch or dinner!

Keep reading for one of my favorite recipes:

Ingredients:

• Mung Beans, 1 cup
• Fairlife skim (or 2%) milk, 14 oz
• Coconut extract, 1 small splash
• Water, 4 cups
• Lime Juice, 1⁄2 lime
• Ground Coriander, 2 tbsp
• Salt, 1 tsp
• Turmeric, 1 tsp
• Cayenne pepper, 1⁄2 tsp (optional)
• Whole Cumin Seeds, 1 tbsp
• Crushed tomatoes, 14 oz can
• Garlic, chopped, 9 cloves
• Spinach, 2 cups chopped finely
• Cilantro, 1⁄2 cup chopped finely
• Ginger, chopped, 2 tbsp
• Coconut extract
• Avocado oil, 4 tbsp

• Tahini, 1/4 cup

Mushroom spring roll recipe from (slightly adjusted) served with spicy crunchy chili. I have been obsessed with this recipe. It is so easy to make and extremely satisfying and filling! I made a few small changes to the original recipe:

• 1/2 block tofu (either pre-chop or mush into smaller pieces while in the pan with the back of the spatula)
• 1.5 cups mushrooms, minced
• Garlic, 1 tbsp minced (or use powder)
• Soy sauce, 2 tbsp
• Scallions, 1/4 cup finely chopped
• Chili flakes, 1 tsp
• 5 spice powder, 1/2 tsp
• Rice papers to make spring rolls
• Shirataki noodles, 1 bag

Add everything (except noodles and rice paper rolls) to a pan and cook until softened. While this is cooking, rinse shirataki noodles and dry them. Once both pieces are ready, soak each rice paper roll for ~12 seconds, place a small serving of the mushroom/tofu mixture and the noodles in the center of the roll and roll it up like a burrito! (You can always look up a YouTube video on how to best roll up a spring roll). Once you’ve rolled up however many rolls you want, dip in crunchy chili sauce and enjoy!

I’ve practically been living on these rolls lately. While it can take a while to roll up each spring roll, it’s easy to pre-cook the mushrooms ahead of time: this way you can roll them up whenever you’d like for a quick dinner.

Homemade Granola Recipe from

This recipe was shockingly simple and uses minimal whole food ingredients. This granola is higher in fiber and lower in carbohydrates/sugars than most granola on the market.

• Oats, 4 cups
• Maple syrup, 1/2 cup
• Olive or Avocado Oil, 1/2 cup
• Pumpkin seeds, 1/2 cup
• Pecans, 1/2 cup
• Cinnamon, 1/2 tsp
• Walnuts, 1/2 cup
• Salt, 1/2 tsp
• Vanilla extract, 1 tsp

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, combine all dry ingredients and mix. Then, mix in oil, syrup, and vanilla until everything is evenly coated.
3. Spread out the granola in an even layer. Bake until slightly golden, about 21-24 minutes, stirring halfway.
4. Let the granola cool for 45+ minutes undisturbed before storing at room temperature for ~2 weeks. This granola also freezes well, which helps since it has a shorter shelf life than pre-made granola.

One of my top 5 sweet treats that I keep around the house!

Yes, there is added sugar added - don't come at me. It is PERFECTLY fine to eat added sugars, as long as you're consuming it in moderation and as a part of a balanced diet.

This combo is high in protein, super tasty, and not very high in calories. This sweet treat is actually satisfying and comes in pre-portioned individual servings, which can be helpful for consuming in moderation!

We received another patient testimonial video for Hleap Nutrition! To listen click the link below, or navigate to the "Client Testimonials" page of our website, at www.HleapNutrition.com

We asked our patients to provide video testimonials about their experiences working with the registered dietitians at Hleap Nutrition. We wanted you to be able to hear first-hand about our patients' experiences working with us, the approach we take to nutrition counseling, the emotional environment we build around food, and the wonderful deep relationships we've formed with the people we've worked with.

By reading and listening to patients' experiences, hopefully you'll be able to glean whether or not our approach aligns with what you're looking for in a dietitian!

Have you worked with one of our dietitians? If you have, we'd love to hear your story!

If you're open to sharing about your experience, send us a message and we'll provide simple instructions for recording a short 1-2 minute video. Your insight can inspire someone else's journey toward better health!

Leaving a review, either in the form of a video testimonial or written Google review, has a massive impact for a small local business like ours.

Toast + Cream Cheese + Trader Joe's Rainbow Smoked Trout

It's best to limit your intake of smoked meats, so every now and then I'll work some smoked fish into my diet. I LOVE the smoked trout from Trader Joes and Small World Seafood (local to Philadelphia). Fish on toast is one of my favorite breakfasts. It's so simple and quick, but still high in protein and packed with omega-3 fatty acids. This is the also a great hot-weather breakfast, since there's no heating/cooking involved (outside of toasting your bread).
