Tip of the Week
Eating well doesn’t mean removing everything on your plate, it’s about small, smart additions that help you feel full, energized, and satisfied.
Here are three simple ways to upgrade your meals:
Boost Your Protein: Protein is key for feeling full longer and supporting muscle growth. Try adding tinned fish to your salad, a protein bar to your bag, or a scoop of protein powder to your baked goods.
Focus on Fibre: Fibre helps keep digestion on track and supports blood sugar balance. Enchance your meals with seeds, beans, berries, oats, or whole grains like quinoa. A sprinkle of seeds or black beans in your salad goes a long way.
Build Flavour with Spices: Herbs and spice blends add depth and excitement to meals with no extra effort needed. A dash of garlic powder or a handful of fresh herbs can transform a dish.
These small additions can make a big difference in how you feel; nourished, energized, and satisfied!
