{FLAX IS BELIEVED TO BE ONE OF THE OLDEST CROPS IN THE WORLD} It is known to have been cultivated in ancient Egypt and China. It has played a role in Arurveda medicine for thousands of years. Flaxseed is a rich source of omega 3s, antioxidants, and fiber. It has nutrients that may offer protection against cancer, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease.⁣ The key is to store the seeds whole and chilled (freezer or fridge). I then grind enough to last me about a month and I store those ground flax seeds in the fridge. The oil is very delicate and they will go bad fast, particularly if ground which is why proper storage is so important.⁣
⁣
Add flax to smoothies, sprinkle on salads, add to oatmeal. #flaxseeds #omega3 #storeinfridge #nutrition #holisticnutrition #optimalhealth #groundflax

{WHITE BEAN PANCETTA SPINACH SOUP} With Thanksgiving coming up I like to keep my food simple both before and after such a decadent time. Trust me, I’m a big Thanksgiving fan (and I never hold back) but my body craves balance.⁣
⁣
There really is a time for everything- for big social meals and lighter more simple meals. Just listen to what your body needs. ⁣
⁣
So today I made this white bean, pancetta and spinach soup that I’m actually recipe testing for a fun cookbook collaboration with @meganknippnutrition focused on foods to support your mood especially for those who struggle with depression and anxiety. ⁣
⁣
Stay tuned for our progress writing and recipe testing as we go along!!!

{CHOCOLATE CUPCAKES WITH PEANUT BUTTER FROSTING} Happy Halloween 🎃 There’s a recipe on the blog for these if you want to check it out! High in protein, high in healthy fats, high in fiber and made with honey/maple syrup for sweetness.⁣
⁣
Of course these are a healthier version than a normal cupcake but equally delicious and also more nutritious.⁣
⁣
I already ate 4 of them 🤫 Sorry not sorry.
