"If you have a blender, you have a tool for good health." -Chef Kenny Minor Blenders aren’t just for smoothies—they’re key to preparing nutrient-packed meals that help you thrive. By blending whole fruits and vegetables, you preserve the natural fibers that aid digestion and support overall health. Unlike juicing, blending keeps all the good stuff intact, so you’re fueling your body with everything nature intended. Use your blender to whip up soups, sauces, and healthy snacks, and make nourishing meals part of your daily routine. Your health is just a blend away! #RealLifeWellness #EatWithIntention #BlendForBetterHealth

We are not living to eat, we are eating to live. This is what I understood after joining ashram a few years back to understand more about a healthy lifestyle. Fundamentally, our kitchen and cooking needs to be simple with essentials. There was a family in one of my previous houses. We were neighbors for many years. Both the wife and husband were overweight. When she said she had joined baking classes, my first thought was, is it needed for this family? The entire family along with two kids was affected because of her choice. She really makes delicious varieties. The reason I am writing this post is, I saw the kid recently. During COVID, when we were in lockdown, we used to have online meet-ups with friends. One of my friends said she was cooking passionately and feeding the family multiple varieties. I said, you are harming your family. Without understanding what I said, she got angry and stopped talking to me. During lockdown, there was no opportunity to move the body itself, over eating on top of it? How come the body burns calories? Simple logic. It’s difficult to control your appetite by seeing many food varieties, but it is required. I am repeating, we are not living to eat, we are eating to live. Keep it simple , eat nutritious food and live healthily. #health #lifestyle #personaldevelopment

Food and meal prep has expanded to more than just getting your kids lunch ready for school. Bringing your lunch to work has many benefits as well. You can save money by not going out to lunch or having food delivered to the office everyday. Also, prepping food saves time when you pack your lunch in the morning. Another great benefit is creating a healthier lifestyle with fresh fruits, veggies and cleaner foods free of artificial ingredients. This can also help your body function to it's fullest at work. If food prep seems intimidating start small with prepping snacks for the week and continue to build from there. Your budget and your body can benefit from this in the long run.

We ALL need to cook more at home. Did you know that in the US, two-thirds of the calories eaten by children are from ultra processed foods (UPFs)? That’s not good.

𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗥𝗲𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗼𝗶𝗿𝗲:  You don’t have to cook something new every evening. A handful of family classics is all you need. Begin with easy-to-follow recipes that require minimal ingredients and steps. Think stir-fries, salads, soups or stews, and sheet pan meals.  𝟳. 𝗜𝗻𝘃𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝗕𝗮𝘀𝗶𝗰 𝗘𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗽𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁: Ensure you have a good knife, cutting board, pots, pans, and measuring cups. Quality equipment can make cooking more efficient and enjoyable. 𝟴. 𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗮 𝗖𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗖𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘀: Mastering basic cooking techniques like chopping, sautéing, and roasting can go a long way. There are plenty of online tutorials and cooking classes available. It’s also a tremendous way to find community support and encouragement.  𝟵.

I don’t know what could have happened if I didn’t walk in on time… One morning in the kitchen, Alarik was eating a half-eaten apple from the previous day. That was a wake-up call for me, to prioritize food safety in my home. It’s not just about clean dishes and a shiny counter. It’s about creating a healthy home. Teaching kids about food safety helps them build a strong foundation for life. From washing hands before every meal to storing the food right, every small step makes a difference. These habits aren’t just about avoiding germs, they’re about taking care of loved ones and yourself, building trust and well-being. #foodsafety #hygiene #healthyliving

⭐️ Meal Plan Friday ⭐️ ✅ The plan for the week ahead is set. That being said, I'm reserving the right to change my mind! We're heading to the Farmer's Market tomorrow and sometimes that can inspire new meal ideas and I love shopping fresh and local. 🌱 That's the thing about meal plans. They provide us the loose structure we need so we can get the thought of "what's for dinner" out of our heads. But we always reserve the right to make a change! 💫 We have some extra time for PREP this weekend with the holiday on Monday. Prep plans include cooking chicken, creating Tuesday's casserole, and tossing together a quinoa summer salad that we'll enjoy for Monday's dinner and lunch throughout the week. 🔥 Don't forget to check back TOMORROW for the release of my Meal Planning Tips, Tricks & Templates! 💛 This free resource guide will show you how to save time, reduce stress, and make healthy eating FUN!
