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!

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).

Deli Meat Tofu from 's page

I am always looking for ways to incorporate more tofu, especially in place of some of the processed meats in my diet. I thought this was a great recipe and was super impressed with the consistency! My only issue with the original recipe was that there was not enough flavor... so I increased the bouillon in the recipe below from 2 tbsp to 3 tbsp, but feel free to add any other dried seasonings you'd like too!

• Extra/super firm tofu, 1 block - press as much moisture out as possible
• Water, 1 cup
• Chicken bouillon / Better than Bouillon, 3 tbsp
• Fresh thyme, 3 springs
• Black pepper, 1/2 tsp

1. Thinly slice the entire block of tofu with a vegetable peeler.
2. Add water + bouillon seasoning to a pan on medium heat.
3. Mix until fully dissolved and then add in the thyme, pepper, and tofu strips in an even layer.
4. Bring to a light simmer and cook for 20 minutes, checking every few minutes to ensure there’s still enough liquid in the pan.
5. Remove from the pan and allow to cool. Remove the tofu from the liquid and let cool.

Spinach Artichoke Dip, dinner party edition!

I served it at a dinner last week and everyone loved it! This is definitely one of Hleap Nutrition's most popular recipes! It's absurdly easy to make and is both delicious and filling. All that’s required is a food processor.

• Spinach, 1.5 cups chopped
• Canned artichoke hearts, 1/2 cup (or 1/2 can)
• Fat-free cottage cheese, 1 cup
• Olive oil, 0.2 cup or less (slightly less than 1/4 cup)
• Nutritional yeast, 1/4 cup
• Shredded cheese, 1/4 cup (my favorites are parmesan and mozzarella)
• Garlic powder
• Pinch of truffle salt
• Random and completely optional, but pinch of mushroom powder if you have it (I buy dried mushrooms in bulk and will just run them through the coffee grinder until it’s a powder and add this to any recipe for an extra hint of umami)

Blend everything (except for shredded cheese) in a food processor. Move to a microwave safe dish, add shredded cheese on top, and microwave for about 40 seconds, or until dip is warmed and cheese is melted. Serve with veggies or crackers and enjoy!
