T'is the season! 🎄

I'm excited to announce that I've updated a couple of my recipe books (Slow Cooker Recipes and Healthy Holiday Sweets & Treats) and I've added a shiny new one called Merry Mocktails!

More than ever people are taking a no-alcohol approach, but I find many of the options are either bland, too sweet, or just plain taste weird.

Merry Mocktails are fun and functional which means they're full of nourishing ingredients that taste good! There are 12 yummy mocktail recipes you can try this season.

Get them in my bio link, below or check my stories later today for the links @lealoucooks.

How to Survive the Holidays Feeling Great! The ho

How to Survive the Holidays Feeling Great!

The holidays are here and we want you to feel great during and after the festivities.

We also want you to enjoy yourself and not stress too much. It can be a stressful time for many people especially when food is involved.

Here are 4 tips to feel great during and after the holidays: 

1. Drink lots of water. Not only will you likely be eating more food than normal, but winter is a dry season so drink up! Water will keep you hydrated all season. 

2. Put down your phone and connect with your friends and loved ones. Nothing on your phone is more important than the face in front of you. If you want to share a cat video, share it and then put your phone away again. 🐈

3. Don’t stress and be mindful. Think about what you really love during the holidays and eat it, but eat it mindfully. Sit down, breathe at the table, and eat slow. Taste your food. Be grateful for the beautiful bounty. 

4. Connect with me now for a nourishing meal plan so you’re ready to start January with a gusto.

Don’t fall into the “January Diet Trap”. I’m here for you!

PS. If you want a little recipe gift. Comment ‘gift’ below. I don’t have one of those fancy automated IG systems. I will send it to you in the flesh! 😂

Also to book a consult with me check out the link in my bio! I’d love to chat.

Some might think custom meal plans are over the to

Some might think custom meal plans are over the top, but they’re not, and here’s why:

1. Stress levels are at an all-time high and you need to eat. With custom meal plans and recipe books, you have one less thing to think about.

Let someone else figure out exactly what you need to and want to eat (down to specific ingredients). The investment is worth it (time is money, my friend).

2. When you get that special food list from your practitioner, the stress can increase. Now you really don’t know what to eat.

Meal plans can be customized to create meals that fit you. If you can’t have lentils and you hate red peppers, it can be added to your plan so that you only get recipes without those ingredients. You won’t have to think about substituting them on your own.

Nothing is worse than finding a recipe online and having to make changes to fit your needs.

3. When you get a custom plan, most times they come with a prep plan that tells you when to cook. Plans are great, but when the heck are you going to cook this stuff?

Prep plans offer hour-by-hour help to help you cook and prep food so you’re not rushing during the week on your busiest days.

4. Getting a custom meal plan will help you save money long-term. You likely won’t overbuy food and then let it rot in the back of the fridge (an expensive thing to do right now!).

Custom plans come with grocery lists so you know what to buy and how much to buy each week.

5. On that note, you can use up the food you have in the fridge with a custom plan. Your meal planner will ask you what you have in your fridge and cupboard so you can use up the food you have first.

You’ll also get help with any leftover food you might have at the end of the week so you’re not left with extra food and wasted money.

If you’re looking for meal plan help DM me to chat!

I’ve been working with @onehealthservices for so

I’ve been working with @onehealthservices for some time now creating meal plans for their clients to not only meet the needs of their protocols, but also give them recipes that taste GOOD!

This is the thing about working with a naturopath or culinary nutrition expert: you don’t have to eat food that tastes like cardboard. Blech!

Healthy food should taste good!

We can work with you to create a custom meal plan just for you so that you actually enjoy eating every week.

And if you don’t like to cook, we can schedule an hour to cook a few recipes online together to help you get the hang of it.

I have a few openings this week so take advantage of them!

All of our calls are online so you don’t have to travel (psst I won’t judge if you’re on the call in your cozies!).

You can either book a free 15 minute consult with me or jump in with an hour with me which includes a meal plan on our first call. The link to my schedule is in my bio @lealoucooks
