pop nourish

If you have read the "about me" section here on pop nourish then you already know I am currently working towards my certification as a Holistic Nutritionist, and this program focuses heavily on the many benefits of a plant-based diet. A plant-based diet is one that consists of whole foods like vegetables, fruits, legumes, whole grains, nuts, and seeds, and minimal or no animal products.

For me personally, I am strictly vegetarian but I would say I am only 85% plant-based at this point. But I don't want to get hung up on labels, because what someone chooses not to eat doesn't define their health as much as what they DO choose to eat. We all know that copious amounts of processed food is not good for you, and that fresh produce is. What you decide to put in your body day after day does have a direct effect on your health.

Happy New Year! Wow, I can't believe it is 2020. I feel like I say this every year, but 2019 flew by! I know I have been slacking with posts the past couple of months, which is partially due to vacations and the holiday season but the reality of it is when I started pop nourish I had a lot of material built up and I was posting at an unmaintainable pace. When I first shared my blog publicly I wanted there to be numerous posts for my readers to enjoy. With the start of a new year, it is my goal to be fully dedicated to providing my readers with quality posts on a consistent schedule. I haven't quite figured out what I want that schedule to be, but I can promise you there won't be any more month long breaks in between blogs!

 

 

Hello everyone! Can you believe Thanksgiving has already come and gone? I look forward to Thanksgiving all year long and I am always a little sad when my favorite holiday is over! I had a great week with my family, and I ate all sorts of yummy foods. I usually have good self control when it comes to avoiding foods I know my body doesn't agree with (looking at you, dairy) but during all of the festivities I just couldn't stop myself. My sister in law made these amazing brie and balsamic cranberry crostini's and I could not stop eating them 😄 So, that brings me to what this blog post is all about! I don't know about you, but I definitely need to "reset" my healthy eating habits and what better time than the week following a holiday. I am going to share three days worth of breakfast, lunch, and dinner that will leave you feeling nourished, energized, and full nutrients.
