If you are a big snacker and a big fan of trail mix like me, you know alot of varieties out there are high in sodium and added sugar.
By making your own trail mix, you can fully customize the ingredients all while saving money and maintaining healthy habits. Not to mention this took me a total of 2 minutes to prepare.
Trail mix is loaded with fiber, mono and polyunsaturated fat (healthy fats), and plant-based protein.
Pro tip: use no salt added or low sodium nut varieties and look for dried fruit without any added sugar (this one may be hard to find). Roasted nuts add flavor without the sodium.
Individual portions should not exceed 1/4 cup. If you don't have small tupperware you can always measure out 1/4 cup portions using a measuring cup and larger tupperware containers.
Ingredients (fully customizable):
1 bag of roasted, unsalted almonds
1 bag of Brazil nuts
1 bag of dried apricots
Instructions:
1. Place nuts into a bowl and mix together
2. Add dried fruit to the bottom of each tupperware (I used 3 dried apricots to each tupperware)
3. Add nuts to tupperware
4. Shake ingredients together
March is National Nutrition Month and this year's theme is "Fuel for the Future," which highlights the importance of fueling our bodies with sustainability in mind.
This week's tip is: Buy Locally
When we eat foods that are grown locally, we:
🌱 Help reduce the amount of fossil fuels used for long-distance transportation
💸 We support the local economy
🥗 Food is fresher and has more of its nutrients intact
In addition to seeing clients privately through Elevate your Plate, I have had the great pleasure of working as a Registered Dietitian Lifestyle Coach for the Diabetes Prevention Program over the past year.
Through the DPP Program, I have helped Americans all over the United States reverse their pre-diabetes, improve their labs, lose weight, make healthier food choices, and increase their physical activity. This program has proven to help reduce our nation's healthcare cost and prevent chronic diseases.
Thank you @fruitstreet.health for the sweet Work Anniversary video message and for allowing me to work in an area of health that I am highly passionate about.
I am honored to be a part of such an incredible team of RD's helping Americans combat chronic disease, lose weight, and feel better mentally and physically.

Sustainability + Nutrition Education Community Event
As a health professional, there is nothing I love more than connecting with members of the community.
This weekend I had the absolute pleasure of collaborating with @melissasproduce, @yogisonthemove, and @hinesightproductions to help promote sustainability, healthy eating, and movement for residents of @swaysantamonica.
There is no better way to promote cooking and nutrition education than with fresh, local produce!
Residents were treated to a farmer's market provided by Melissa's produce where I provided them with all of the incredible nutritional benefits behind each fruit and vegetable offered. They also got some delicious recipes that they could try at home using the featured produce.
If you are looking to collaborate at your next event, message me and together we can help spread healthy habits and health education to more members of our community 💚
