馃悾1 cup unsalted, natural peanut butter
馃悾1 cup almond flour

Want to grow amazing nutrient rich sprouts at home?

What鈥檚 needed:

鉁╯prouting seeds- you can find so many options on Amazon- broccoli, alfalfa, red radish, etc.
鉁╯prouting jars- also many on Amazon
鉁≧inse your seeds and drain the water 2-3 times per day
鉁╧eep the jars in indirect sunlight
鉁▂ou鈥檒l have sprouts within 3-4 days!

Sprouting increases the nutrient content! Generally, sprouts have higher levels of protein, folate, magnesium, phosphorus, manganese, and vitamins C and K than full grown veggies.

CAUTION: it is not safe for people with compromised immune systems to eat raw sprouts. This includes children, elderly, and women who are pregnant or breastfeeding. These individuals can enjoy sprouts that are thoroughly cooked.

Are you going to try growing sprouts?!

Did you know today is Registered Dietitian Nutritionist Day?

I am ecstatic to work in a field that I am truly passionate about and I find JOY in what I do everyday!

I love that this field is dominated by strong and intelligent women. I support collaboration over competition!

Registered Dietitian Nutritionists are the official nutrition experts, the professionals you can trust for evidenced-based nutrition guidance.

This is what makes us the experts in the field of nutrition:

馃珢Dietitians are healthcare professionals with credentials from formal education and extensive training which qualifies them to provide evidence-based nutrition counseling and medical nutrition therapy.
馃珢Dietitians can be called nutritionists too. They can use the credentials Registered Dietitian (RD) or Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN). RD or RDN can be used interchangeably.
馃珢Dietitians complete an undergraduate science degree that includes courses in microbiology, organic and inorganic chemistry, anatomy, physiology, and specialized nutrition science.
馃珢Starting in 2024, a master鈥檚 degree in nutrition is required as well.
馃珢In addition to formal education, all nutrition students need to complete a rigorous process to apply and be matched with a competitive internship program which is usually not paid and extends over 900-1200 supervised practice hours.
馃珢All dietitians need to pass a national exam. And to maintain the credentials, dietitians need to complete 75 continuing education hours every 5 years.
馃珢anyone with minimal training and no specific education and credentials can call themselves a nutritionist, but only those who have completed all the steps above can be called registered dietitians.

Happy Registered Dietitian Day to all my fellow RDNs!

In honor of the day, eat an extra serving of veggies or fruit and tag and thank your favorite RDNs!

Did you know today is ? Yes, March 3rd, 3/3 for omega-3s!

Global omega-3 day is observed world-wide to bring awareness of the health benefits of EPA and DHA omega-3s.

Here are some important facts to keep in mind:
路聽 90% of people worldwide are not getting enough EPA and DHA omega-3s.
聽
路聽 When it comes to omega-3s, EPA and DHA are most important, not just for your heart or during pregnancy, but throughout your entire life.
聽
路聽 The best food source of EPA+DHA omega-3s is fatty/oily fish. You can also get these nutrients from an omega-3 supplement.
聽
路聽 Aim for at least 500mg EPA+DHA per day. Get this from eating fatty/oily fish, eating foods fortified with EPA/DHA, and by taking an omega-3 supplement.
聽
路聽 Pregnant and lactating women should get at least 700 mg per day of EPA+DHA, with at least 300 mg of that as DHA.

Foods High in EPA and DHA
