Getting bored with eating the same things lately? Save this recipe for a quick + easy dinner (or lunch) that’s packed with plant-protein (25 grams) and fiber. Recipe is below ⬇️ and also highlighted on my profile under “weekly meal prep” 🥘🌶 Ingredients: •1 block of extra firm tofu (drained, cut into cubes, and freeze overnight for improved texture) •1 can diced tomatoes •1 bag of frozen peppers + onions (I bought mine @traderjoes) •1 can of black beans •taco seasoning/other seasonings of your choice Directions: •place defrosted, cubed tofu in a dish and add taco seasoning. Bake at 360°F for 30 mins •while the tofu is cooking, add frozen peppers and taco seasoning to a large pan on medium heat •add diced tomatoes and beans •remove the tofu from the oven, add to the pepper-bean-tomato mixture, let it simmer together for a few minutes, remove from heat, and enjoy! This made 3 servings for me 😊
Today is my birthday 🎉 and while it’s not the happiest time, I’ve never been more appreciative of my health and the ability to wake up, take a breath, receive texts/calls from my family/friends, hug my fiancé 🥰, + make my favorite breakfast (whole wheat pancakes 🥞 with some added rainbow sprinkles 🌈 for a bday treat). Working in a hospital during this crisis is intense (I’ve officially become well-versed in calculating enteral nutrition needs for vented patients). No one was prepared for what we are currently trying to deal with. So, please do your part: stay home, practice gratitude for the things you have, and be kind 💜 (PS I’ll share the super easy recipe for these vegan rainbow sprinkle pancakes in my stories 😋)
How are you taking care of yourself right now? In particular- how are my fellow healthcare workers doing? If you’re not prioritizing your own health (which can be extremely difficult right now), try to take some time to breathe, meditate, eat something healthy, drink water, and take a break from the chaos that is currently happening in hospitals (especially in NY right now). I had a much needed day off from work today, and spent it practicing what I preach by eating this delicious salad and sleeping late (til 7 A.M. woohoo!). If you’re working in healthcare 🏥 please take care of yourself ❤️ Talk to a therapist virtually, consult a dietitian if you haven’t been eating well, and sleep whenever you can. For everyone else, please stay the f home, and think of the bigger picture 🌎👵🏼👶🏻👴🏽🤱🏻 #feelingalittlesassytoday . . . . . #eatplants #wellness #bewell #feelgood #healthyfoodshare #vegan #veganfoodshare #eattherainbow #dietitian #clinicaldietitian #breathe #meditate #kale #kaleyeah #salad #whatveganseat #rdeats #dietitianapproved #foodisfuel #fuelyourbody #mindbody #thinkglobal #selfcare
