What Does a Dietitian Eat? Volume 1

July 3, 2017 Leave a Comment

Hello Everyone,

I am starting a new segment on my Facebook page and blog where I will describe one of my favorite meals or snack ideas – often it may be a simple   creative twist that will change-up the usual option.   Recipes will  be kept simple  so that you can recreate these food ideas for  yourself  and even add your own innovative variations  .

To start off the segment, I wanted to talk about the most important meal of the day, breakfast.

Create a new breakfast option – using less cereal  and more nuts and seeds. After cooking oatmeal, portion out ½ of what you would usually eat.

Top with handful of  two or more types  seeds and nuts (raw preferably): Pumpkin, chia, hemp, and flax seeds were in my refrigerator (this is where they stay fresher).   I add chopped pecans and sprinkle with  cinnamon and add a touch of sweetener (maple syrup) .  I love the different textures – creamy and crunch.

What’s the benefits of seeds and nuts ?  They contain a treasure trove of minerals and vitamins.  Plus, their oils, proteins and fiber helps to keep hunger away and makes oatmeal a different experience .

Ingredients :

Oatmeal –  organic steal cut (my preference)*

Seeds: chia, flax, pumpkin, hemp, sunflower

Nuts: chopped pecans or other chopped raw nuts

Flavor with cinnamon and maple syrup

* You can substitute oatmeal with plain organic yogurt or quinoa

I hope you try out and enjoy this delicious and gorgeous meal for your next breakfast.
