We need glucose to

Hot dogs are an easy meal to pull out of the freezer for a last minute meal. Wrap them in lettuce instead of a bun and top with all kinds of great vegetables like tomatoes and onions for a healthy dinner.

The Best Way to Cleanse your Body — Jill Borba Nutrition Clients often ask me what I think about cleanses and fasts. I love the idea of dedicating a period of time to cleanse the body. Rather than starving the body with a juice or water cleanse, the healthiest way to support cleansing is to eat foods that support the detoxification systems of the body,

With 39 grams of sugar in a 12 oz serving, soda is one of the biggest contributors of the diabetes epidemic in our country. If you enjoy carbonated drinks, there are lots of options that are not harmful like Spindrift and Zevia that are sweetened naturally 🍓

Could there be anything more perfect for this cold weather than a bowl of hot bone broth soup? 🍲

I recently disposed of these prescription medications for a loved one who passed away.
70% of Americans are on a long term prescription medication and the average is four. Most of these treat chronic degenerative diseases which can be prevented through diet and lifestyle.
NEVER stop medication without talking to your doctor, but do ask yourself what dietary and lifestyle changes might allow you to work with your doctor to stop taking them 🍎

Starting your day with a mug of hot water with lemon is not only soothing to your soul, but also hydrating, alkalizing, and supportive of digestion 🍋☺️

I love cooking with fresh herbs, but I can never use the entire bunch in meals before it goes bad. So I love finding ways to use them in other things.
Here I blended up some basil and garlic in butter. It adds flavor to anything! 🤗🥦🥔
Thanks

A charcuterie board is an easy way to make a delicious and nourishing lunch full of protein, fresh fruits and vegetables and healthy fats 🤗 Or go vegetarian with hard boiled eggs, marinated tofu and tempeh

Making lettuce wraps is super easy with butter lettuce leaves, and the possibilities are endless 🙂
Here I did a brown rice salad mix topped with prosciutto 🍖
Thanks for another great shot of my lunch 😊

The easiest way to eat a nourishing diet is to aim for half your plate in fresh vegetables. And one of the easiest ways to do that is to add a salad to your meal. There’s SO many things you can put in a salad.. Here apricots and blue cheese jazz up my side salad 🤗🥗

Thanks ☺️

How often do you think of putting fruit in your salads? This one with pomegranates and orange slices has a boost of antioxidants and a sweet contrast ☺️🍊🥗

Corndogs are often seen as “junk food”, but this is a great example of the importance of quality and quantity.

While there are lots of corndogs on the market that are made with low quality meat full of additives, sodium, and even sugar, there are also high quality brands like Applegate that use regenerative agriculture, which is not only highly nutritious, but even reduces climate change.

And pairing it with a salad turns it into a nutrient dense meal 🥗

Got another great vegetable switch out for ya.. Hearts of palm linguini 🍝

I’d heard of this before from one of my clients but never had a chance to try it. Until I found it at Trader Joe’s recently 🤗

Thanks

Lettuce wraps are a great way to up the nutritional value of a burger 🍔
Bonus points if it’s a grass fed burger like Super Duper Burger or Burger Lounge 🐮
