In addition, they are easy to prepare and perfect for any meal. To prepare them, mash an avocado and mix it with lemon juice, salt and pepper. 🔸 Toast bread slices until golden brown. 🔸 Spread #avocado mixture on bread and place sardines on top. 🔸 Add tomato slices or chopped parsley for an extra touch. Not only is this recipe quick and easy, but it's also a great way to incorporate more omega-3s and healthy fats into your diet - ideal for lunch or a light dinner! Go ahead and try it and surprise your colleagues with this nutritious and delicious option! #spanishfood #easyrecipe #seafood

So many people try to change 180 overnight. This strategy doesn't work most of the time. When making your food choices, rather than banning certain foods or favourite meals, see how you can upgrade some of the ingredients to be healthier instead.   For example, upgrade pasta or mashed potato to quinoa or basmati rice or vegetable, such as broccoli, instead; upgrade dairy milk to nut milks; instead of ice cream for dessert, make the avocado chocolate mousse from our recipe guide instead.   If you are making spaghetti Bolognese, upgrade it by adding lots of veggies into the sauce (grated carrot, zucchini and mushrooms work well) and load your plate up with more and more veggies and less and less pasta   You don’t have to go without, you just need to upgrade! The idea behind this principle is crowding out the 'bad' stuff with more 'good stuff'... and what ends up happening after a period of time is your body starts to CRAVE the new level of nutrition that you're feeding it. In MAR's self -guided coaching program, you will find lessons that include an activity sheet for you to come up with some of your own healthy upgrades!

SHOULD YOU CHANGE YOUR DIET IN THE SUMMER? Recent topic I discussed on 13WHAM ABC news segment Think about it like this: we didn’t always have the technology we do now to eat all of these different foods year round. & you may notice that the strawberries in the dead of winter don’t hit the same as they do on a June summer day by the pool. it’s because they aren’t supposed to! eating with the natural rhythm of the earth lets us get more connected to our food & provides the most value nutritionally. when you eat in season produce it contains its maximum amount of nutrition packed with vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. there’s a reason you don’t see pumpkins in the store during spring break 😉 here’s what foods I’m eating more of this summer & some recipes I’ll be trying out 🍅 SUMMER PRODUCE: + strawberries + watermelon + blueberries + snap peas + asparagus + zuchinni + cucumbers + corn + green beans + romaine lettuce + cauliflower ✨ recipes I’ll be using these in + strawberry antiinflammatory salmon salads + watermelon feta salad + frozen blueberry yogurt bites + picnic charcuterie with snap peas & tzatziki + grilled steak & asparagus + smashed cucumber salad + grilled veggie packs with corn & green beans + grilled chicken romaine caesar salads + whole roasted crispy cauliflower with buffalo sauce I share more recipes and healthy tips in my newsletter.

🥗 This classic combination of green leaves, crunchy pears and cheese with a sweet dressing, is a simple but delicious salad from #KidneyKitchen. Whilst salad leaves and tomatoes are high in potassium, the small quantities used in the recipe keep the overall potassium content low. The full recipe for our pear and white cheddar salad is here: https://lnkd.in/e7R7WgHn ❗ Hard cheese is high in phosphate but again the small portion in this dish keeps the overall phosphate content low. If you have been prescribed a phosphate binder ensure you take them with this dish. 📣 Nutrition values are calculated per serving. Kidney diet guidelines vary for each individual. Consult your dietitian or doctor for the specific diet that is right for you.
