Healthy Black Bean Breakfast Burrito

2/16/2020

 
Picture
I'm really in love with breakfast that is easy, especially since my mornings are so crazy! I'm up at 4AM to workout, and then after working out, I "work" for a few hours before noshing on breakfast. Sometimes, I get hungry while working and it is such a lifesaver to have something portable.

My new favorite grab it and eat breakfast is the burrito. I don't eat grains like wheat, so I usually wrap mine up in a collard leaf, but I've included a tortilla in this recipe because tortillas are just so darn delicious.

You can make this egg burrito several days in advance. I make a few of them at a time so there is always something in the fridge.

Healthy Cauliflower Red Curry

2/4/2020

 
Picture
Curry gets in a lot of trouble for having a heavy fat content and loads of calories, but you know what we like to say over here at Nutrition Feminist? Screw that notion. Why? Fat is good for you. It is necessary for a healthy body in so many ways that we wonder how somebody thought it would be okay to say that fat was bad for you. 

Fun Facts About Fat
  • Fat keeps your brain healthy and is necessary for constructing myelin sheath, the coating around your nerve fibers. Strong myelin sheath means faster message transmission.
  • Fat helps fat-soluble vitamins better absorb into the intestines.
  • And fat-soluble vitamins are necessary for hundreds of reactions throughout the body including hormone production.
  • Fat makes your skin look healthy. Hey, they always say that you can tell if somebody is healthy or not based on the condition of the skin.

With all of that good ju-ju, we wanted to celebrate cauliflower red curry because it is packed with smart fats, vitamin A, potassium, protein, vitamin C, calcium and iron. Do we need to go on? And our cauliflower curry only has nine grams of fat per serving. It won't bust your diet to shreds; in fact, it can fit into even the lowest-of-the-low low-fat diet.

Prevent a Snack Attack with a Prepackaged Meals

1/24/2020

 
Picture
The quickest way to gain weight is a havoc-induced trip to the local grocery store to buy and then consume a pint of Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough (unless you are a Cherry Garcia sort of person).  Hello 1,500 calories. Goodbye workout efforts. Repeat after me: Snacking is unnecessary.

How you do solve the "snacking" problem?

Have on-the-go prepacked meals ready to go in the fridge. Prepacked meals are ideal because they are easy to take with you when you know you won't be home in time to stave off an empty belly. Flexible meals can be packed into bento boxes, Tupperware, or any other storage containers that you have. Segment the portions using little cups, containers or plastics bags.

Oatmeal Three Ways

1/21/2020

 
Picture
The Paleo world has really taken a stab at a lot of foods. I was speaking with a friend the other day who tried to tell me that oatmeal is off her list. She doesn't eat oatmeal. Okay, fine. But why? All she could tell me was oatmeal wasn't paleo; oatmeal was a toxic substance.

Oh jeepers. Okay. While I am not a fan of toxic substances, namely boxed foods, processed sugars and the like, I love oatmeal.

Rich Yogurt Blueberry Pancakes

Picture
Pancakes for breakfast? Talk about our kind of morning!  And yes, sometimes we put maple syrup and butter on our pancakes! And that's okay.  We call this a Sunday morning breakfast after a long week or working out and being busy. Because we all know that we are busy, and that we deserve a little sweetness added to our lives. 

Our pancakes combine rich nondairy yogurt, juicy blueberries and the warmth of nutmeg. The result? Pancakes that are light fluffy and protein-rich.

Not Your Mother's Vegan BBQ Baked Beans

1/2/2020

 
Picture
Baked beans are sweet and delicious. Truly a treat for the fitness-minded individual. We highly suggest that you soak 16 ounces of dried beans and avoid canned beans. We cannot guarantee that your dish will turn out deliciously if you use canned beans.

Soak your beans the night before and use them in the morning. In the morning, you can choose to make your beans in a traditional stockpot or add everything into a crockpot and let it cook all day.
