Monk fruit is a sugar substitute derived from a sub-tropical melon that can be used for adding sweetness to food. It’s perfect cooking, baking, and browns just like regular sugar. It is calorie-free, sugar-free, & has no aftertaste. If you have diabetes or are looking for a way to add some sweetness to your beverages/food without it resulting in a blood sugar spike, monk fruit may be a good option for you.

I made some delicious pulled Mexican style chicken last week using my crockpot. It was super easy to make and very tasty!

Here is the recipe 👩‍🍳:

Ingredients:
4- boneless & skinless chicken breasts
1- 14.5 ounce can of diced or fire roasted tomatoes
1- 14.5 ounce can of whole kernel corn
1-14.5 ounce can of black beans (drained and rinsed)
2 - 3 chipotle peppers in adobo
1 Tbsp chili powder
1/2 Tbsp ground cumin
Salt & pepper to taste

Spray the bottom of the crockpot with olive oil. Place the chicken breasts at the bottom. Pour all of the ingredients on top of the chicken and then cover. Cook on low for 4 to 5 hours or on high for 1 to 2 ½ hours.

Once the chicken is done, shred it using two forks or a hand blender.

Using some of the chicken, I put together taco bowls made with brown rice, light sour cream, avocado & cheddar cheese. 😍 The rest of the chicken was used on another night for burritos.

Last weekend’s breakfast consisted of mango, turkey bacon, whole grain English muffin with jelly, & scrambled eggs made with sautéed spinach. 😍 Breakfast doesn’t always look this elaborate (because life) and it doesn’t have to be. Breakfast can be as simple as peanut butter toast. What is important is that you’re fueling your body with some sort of nutrition to help jump start your day. Research has shown having breakfast can help with concentration, memory, & help aid in blood sugar control. To help set yourself up for success, start your morning with a protein & carbohydrate combo. For other breakfast ideas, contact us at Nutrition in Motion.

Dinner tonight- Baked chicken, roasted broccoli & mashed potatoes. 🍽Does it look like my plate has a lot on it? That’s the advantage of using salad plates instead of dinner plates at meal time 😉 Some people feel that serving sizes are way smaller than what they should be, but as you can see they really aren’t so small after all.

Meal Prep Breakfast For The Week

Looking for a quick breakfast? Try peanut butter toast topped with your favorite fruit. I like using @jifnatural peanut butter because it doesn’t contain trans-fat like most peanut butters. Trans-fat, aka “partially hydrogenated oil” is known to raise bad cholesterol and lower good cholesterol 👎🏼Buyers beware 😲- even though a food label might state 0 grams of trans-fat, that doesn’t mean it doesn’t contain trans-fat (it can still contain less than 1 gram). That’s why it’s important to look for “partially hydrogenated oil” where the ingredients are listed and try your best to avoid these foods. ❤️

I just love “bento” style lunch boxes, especially when packing meals for kids. The small compartments help guide you to choosing a variety of different foods to go in each of them. When I pack a lunch, I try to incorporate a food from each of the food groups if possible.
A bento style lunch box may help influence kids to try new foods because they are visually appealing. Kids are known to be visual eaters; if they don’t like what a meal or particular food looks like, chances are they won’t eat it. A small study by Cornell University found that kids are more attracted to plates that had several different items to taste and around six different colors 🌈. This lunch box is ready to go for school tomorrow.
