Quick & Easy Chia Jam

 

This Chia Jam is not only delicious, quick, and easy. It's also healthy! Make it with the frozen fruit or fruit mixture of your choice. I love cherry everything, so I used frozen dark sweet cherries. I also think it would be good using strawberries, mixed berries, peaches, mangoes... Any fruit really! Sweeten it with the natural sweetener of your choice. I used honey but pure maple syrup would be amazing. Low glycemic impact, gut friendly, heart healthy... It's a nutritional powerhouse that feels like a treat! I like to spread this on toast, spoon it over yogurt or oatmeal. Stay tuned to my YouTube channel because I've got a video coming for you soon with an idea on how you can use this delicious jam!

Healthie Hacks ~ Reduce Sodium Without Giving Up Your Favorite Brands

 

Do you need to reduce your sodium intake but don't want to give up some of your higher sodium favorites? A low sodium diet doesn't have to be difficult. I've got a hack that's gonna help you. I've been using this trick for about a year now, since my cardiologist put me on a low sodium diet because of high blood pressure. Not only will it help you keep your favorite brands, but most of the products that I show you in this video are condiments, sauces, etc. which are difficult to even find a low sodium option for, no matter the brand. I didn't want to give up condiments and sauces all together. Nor did I want to let them blow my sodium limit for the day. So I came up with this "hack" to make them work in my diet. I hope it helps you too.

Prep Ahead Hot Jarred Lunch ~ Quinoa & Veg

 

I've been taking this healthy lunch to work regularly.  It's easy to prep for the week using leftovers and frozen veg.  The warmer is what led me to this idea.  I've included a link to this aWeSoMe jar warmer, but even if you don't have one, you can still take this jarred lunch with a plastic lid if you have a microwave at work.  I'd venture to say this would even be great cold!  However you pack and prepare yours, this is an easy option to keep your work lunches healthy!

No More Anemia! ~ Blood Builder Salad with Creamy Orange Vinaigrette

 

I had this salad often while trying to build from severely anemic back up to healthy iron/hemoglobin levels.  Thanks mainly to chicken livers and beets, I reached a healthy level from food sources alone, without supplements.

Beet & Berry Fro-Yo

 

My new fave!  Not everyone is thrilled about the idea of beets, but I encourage you to give this a try.  I worked on this recipe for a while and I think I finally have it perfected.  Beets can be a little bit overpowering but the other ingredients work well together and really keep it in balance.  The Greek yogurt offers gut healthy probiotics and calcium for strong bones.  The beets offer blood-building benefits, sweetened naturally with fruit and honey.  This cold, sweet Summer treat is a nutritional powerhouse and it's DELICIOUS!
