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.

Here are some nutritious, well-balanced snack ideas that are easy to prepare.

Which snack would you choose?

Wishing all of the Registered Dietitian’s out there a very happy RD day! Special shoutout to our very own awesome RD’s here at Nutrition in Motion. 🥑🥑

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.

According to the Academy of Nutrition & Dietetics here are some ideas for celebrating National Nutrition month:

Week 1- Eat a variety of nutritious foods every day.
Week 2- Plan your meals each week.
Week 3- Learn skills to create tasty meals.
Week 4- Consult a registered dietitian nutritionist.

The cooking method used will not only impact the flavor of the food, but the nutrient content as well. Water-based methods such as poaching, boiling, and simmering can lead to greater loses of water-soluble vitamins like Vitamin C 🥦. On the other hand, roasting or baking food can help preserve water-soluble vitamins.
