I have my hands full right now with two under two, nursing and working full time. With that being said, every meal or snack, I need to make sure is packed with as many nutrients as possible. I throw in all the seeds, powders, nuts, healthy fats that I can whether I’m making a smoothie, oatmeal, toast, etc. Oh and at the same time making sure it’s a FODMAP safe snack option. I can make my brain spin trying to quickly find something satisfying and filling. Insert my new find: Spirulina is an algae that is high in nutrients and has many benefits. Some of my favorites are: powerful antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties, can help with allergies, help with muscle strength and endurance, and aid in blood sugar. The bright green coloring just adds to the fun of eating it. A little goes a long way so stick to 1 to 2 teaspoons to avoid a bitter flavor. What supplements are you a fan of? I do think you can’t replace eating healthy with supplements but it’s a great boost to whatever you are already eating! Taste the rainbow is a great approach to food!
