  • Yesterday we made smoothie kits, and here is the product 😊 Bananas, blueberries, cherries, and pomegranate. #eattherainbow #smoothie
  • We're getting ready to move, so it's clean out the fridge time. This is a red curry soup with noodles, all the veggies in the freezer, and egg. #eattherainbow
  • I got a new-to-me kitchen aid stand mixer and thought I'd try making macarons. These guys are by no means healthy, but almonds are a good source of vitamin E, so they have some virtues 😉Almond macarons filled with chocolate-almond spread.
  • Picnic in the park. Salad niçoise with tuna, new potatoes, pickled onions, egg, homemade croutons, and tomatoes on a bed of arugula. #summer #eatpretty
  • Spring is finally here, the sun is out, and things are good. Notably, this springtime salad with quinoa, beets, carrots, peas, radishes, and arugula is great. Dress with lemon and tahini 😋Salads are a great way to eat a variety of veggies. Top tip? Switch out your greens for new flavors and new nutrients. #eatpretty #beautynutrition
  • When it's cold and rainy and your first class isn't till 2, soup is a perfect option for lunch. This Tuscan white bean and turkey soup is one of my absolute favorites. Full of protein and fiber to keep you full, it's a balanced meal—perfect for keeping you focused through that long afternoon class. Plus, it's packed with carotenoids from tomatoes and homegrown collards, which contribute to glowing skin. #nutritionmajor #eatyourbeauty #eatpretty
  • A lunch on the go: ginger turkey meatballs, spaghetti squash noodles, and sesame cucumber salad. Veggie noodles are a great way to pack a nutrient punch. Spaghetti squash provides vitamins C and a slew of B vitamins (notably B3, B5, and B6), which are essential for energy metabolism. Zucchini, carrots, sweet potatoes, beets, and a variety of others provide different nutrients for a ton of benefits.#nutrition #eatpretty #eatyourbeauty
