Meal Planing With California Prunes

I was recently on CHCH Morning live chatting about spring meal planning featuring one nutrient-packed food that I want to encourage us all to incorporate into our diets.

One nutrient-packed food that is extremely versatile that I encourage you to incorporate into your spring meal planning is California Prunes #AD – Prunes contain nutrients that support heart health, such as fibre and potassium. Fibre promotes fullness and also supports healthy digestion. So many of us are not getting enough fibre, so this is a great food for it! 

 

California Prunes are a great pantry staple. They serve as a great snack on their own, but they are also versatile –Prunes can be enjoyed whole, diced or pureed, and go well with proteins and grains; on salads and cereals; and in sauces and baked goods. I add them to many dishes, like the ones I’m sharing today.

Recipes include:
1. Carrot Cake Double Chocolate California Prune Baked Oatmeal
2. California Prune Sticky Tempeh Nourish Bowls
3. White Chocolate California Prune Protein Bars
4. California Prune Chocolate Avocado Protein Mousse

Dietitian’s Guide To Magnesium

Magnesium has become a hot topic recently and for good reason. It’s mineral that can assist with support so many processes in our body, from sleep to sore muscles to digestion support.

However, the topic of magnesium can be also be confusing – what type is best to take for my specific concern? How do I get it through food? How much do I need? I will answer these questions in this post!

During my pregnancy, I have been relying on a Megafood magnesium supplement to assist with my sleep, as it contains real food ingredients and highly absorbable magnesium bisglycinate.

I’ve also put together a free magnesium-rich meal plan here!
