23.01.2022 Think vegetables are boring or taste gross? Chances are you aren’t cooking them right! If you’re not adding vegetables to fritters, sauces or eating them raw, one of the best ways to cook vegetables is to steam, blanch or sauté them. This not only helps to keep them from turning into a soggy mess, it can also help retain more nutrients! Vegetables don’t have to be eaten plain, dress them up! Try adding the following with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil to your vegetable...s: basil/parsley, chilli and toasted almonds chilli, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, spring onions and sesame seeds lightly toasted pumpkin/sunflower seeds homemade pesto with toasted pine nuts lemon juice and fresh herbs (e.g. mint, parsley, coriander, basil, chives) baked vegetables are already super tasty but try adding dried mixed herbs or fresh rosemary or thyme for something extra tasty! Adding fresh herbs to your vegetables, not only makes them taste better, they are also full of nutrients AND the extra virgin olive oil helps your body absorb the fat soluble vitamins found in vegetables. That’s a win-win if you ask me! What’s your favourite way to make vegetables more interesting? #tryfor5

14.01.2022 National Nutrition Week is here and with it the challenge to #tryfor5 - aiming to eat 5 serves of vegetables each day. Did you know that only 7% of adults and 5% of children eat the recommended serves of vegetables each day? So what is a serve of vegetables? swipe to see! ... A serve of vegetables roughly 75g or: 1/2 cup cooked green or orange vegetables - broccoli, carrots, zucchini, pumpkin, snow peas, sugar snaps, cauliflower (I know it’s not green or orange!) 1/2 cup of peas, beans, lentils or tinned tomatoes 1 cup raw salad leaves - lettuce, kale, rocket, spinach 1/2 medium potato, sweet potato or other starchy vegetable 1 medium sized tomato So, how many serves do you do?!

11.01.2022 Not sure how to get your 5 serves of veg into your day? Start with breakfast! Add one or more of diced capsicum, mushrooms, spinach, grated zucchini or tomato to your omelette Make a pumpkin or zucchini bread... Add a serve of spinach or rocket and sautéed mushrooms to your eggs Experiment with a variety of vegetables in your salads, such as: Red cabbage Asparagus Snow peas/sugar snaps Broad beans or any type of bean! Fennel Mushrooms Really, anything goes! Cut up veggie sticks to go with tzatziki, nut butter or homemade pesto as a snack! Got fussy eaters? Hide vegetables in sauces for dinner: Cauliflower and zucchini work well in Mac ‘n Cheese sauce Grated zucchini, carrot, broccoli, mushrooms in bolognese (swipe to see what went in my bolognese sauce last night) Grated vegetables in meatballs or rissoles These are just a few examples of how you can get more vegetables into your diet. The options really are endless! Experiment with vegetables you wouldn’t normally go for. #tryfor5

08.01.2022 Post training is not the time to be carb phobic! Training depletes your muscles of glycogen (carbohydrate), which needs to be replenished. It is best to eat something as soon as possible post training in a ratio of 3-4 parts carbohydrate to 1 part protein. It doesn’t really matter what carbohydrates you eat, as long as you eat some! ... Today I chose weetbix, granola, and berries as my carbs and yoghurt as my protein. #posttraining #fueling #carbs #protein #cherishedwellbeing #nutritionforlife #cleaneating #loveyourhealth #foodlover #healthymeals #healthyjourney #wellnessjourney #sydneynutritionist #foodforlife
