Happy Global Omega-3 Day 🐟✨

Omega-3s (EPA + DHA) during pregnancy may help decrease the risk of preterm birth and support your baby’s brain and nervous system development 🧠⚡ DHA is a major building block for your growing baby’s brain and eyes — which is why I personally take a gummy omega-3 supplement during pregnancy in addition to prioritizing fatty fish.

This matters even more because African-American women in the U.S. have the highest rates of preterm birth — so supporting nutrition before and during pregnancy is powerful. 🤎

💙 High-Protein, High-Fiber Snack Idea:
• 1 cup high-protein yogurt
• 1–2 tbsp walnuts
• 1 tbsp ground flaxseed
• 1 tbsp h**p hearts
• ½ cup wild blueberries

Creamy, crunchy, and fiber-rich 🙌🏾

Talk with your provider about what’s right for you.

This Bean Guacamole is made with organic canned black beans for an easy fiber boost that blends right in 🙌🏾

✨ Why add beans?
• Great source of fiber
• Helps reduce chronic disease risk
• Supports healthy weight management
• Feeds your gut microbiome

Plus, using canned beans = affordable, convenient, and still nutrient-dense (just rinse & go 💧).

Save this recipe to try later & send it to someone who loves guac! 🥑🫘

Cha-Cha (or Chow Chow) is today’s star in our Black History Month veggie series 🥬✨

This gut-friendly relish is packed with chopped veggies and flavor — the perfect tangy topping for your greens or cabbage. It adds crunch, culture, and a little kick to every bite.

And just like so many dishes in our community, every family has their own special recipe ❤️ Some sweet, some spicy, some passed down without ever being written down.

Food is history. Food is tradition. Food is connection.

Drop in the comments — does your family call it Cha-Cha or Chow Chow? 👇🏾

Growing up, cabbage wasn’t “health food.” It was just food.

Now we know it’s rich in vitamin C, antioxidants, and fiber — supporting heart health, blood sugar balance, and overall wellness.

For Black History Month, I’m honoring the vegetables that have always nourished our community 🖤

And yes — most older Black folks topped this with a fresh tomato + onion salad (cuheck my last post for that recipe 🍅🧅).

What do you pair your cabbage with? 🥬👇🏾
Tell me in the comments — I want to see how it’s done in your family.

Crispy at-home fish filet sandwich… made with a frozen patty 👏🏾🐟✨

A little Filet-O-Fish dupe moment — but make it budget-friendly and weeknight easy 💛

Don’t sleep on frozen foods! Using frozen fish (and produce) can:

✔️ Save money – often more affordable than fresh, especially out of season
✔️ Lock in nutrients – many frozen foods are flash-frozen at peak freshness, helping preserve vitamins and minerals
✔️ Save time – no washing, chopping, or extra prep = quick meals on busy days

Healthy eating doesn’t have to be fancy or expensive. It just has to work for your real life 🙌🏾
