3 Foods I Eat EVERYDAY and WHY!
I get asked this question a lot. There are so many foods that I LOVE but I narrowed my list down to a critical 3 plus a bonus that I just can't live without!
Homemade Protein Balls:
Protein balls are easy to pre-make, take on the go, don't melt in the car, and pack a punch on calories and protein. 1 ball can have as much as 150 calories and 10g of protein! That is just amazing!
Spinach:
Spinach is packed with iron and as a pescatarian who is allergic to legumes I struggle with getting enough iron. The other benefit of eating a bag of spinach a day is that I get plenty of calcium, magnesium and fiber!
Blueberries:
Blueberries are packed with antioxidants which help protect cells from free radicals. Blueberries seem to also help prevent cognitive decline and help me maintain youthful skin!
Sunflower Seeds:
Sunflower seeds protein a vital source of protein for this mostly non-meat eater. Seeds also provide anti-inflammatory response which is very helpful to exercise recovery.
So how do I eat all these foods each day? Simple!
Protein Ball for breakfast
Spinach/Berry Smoothie for Lunch
Salad with Sunflower Seeds for Dinner!
I think of food as a way to heal the body and it has changed how I eat immensely. By no means am I perfect but I do make informed choices about where my food is sourced, what is going to do and why I am eating it.
