#Jicama is like eating slightly sweet, crunchy water. So good! It’s a root vegetable that kind of looks like a round turnip. Half of its calories come from #fiber, so even though it’s very #lowcalorie it’s very filling. I love to munch on it as a snack because it’s perfect on the go. Just sprinkle a little sea salt, cayenne, or paprika! #ilovejicama #veggies #healthysnacks #highfiber
#Flourless #Pancakes!!! Made with 4 ingredients: #butter, #banana, #egg, and #flaxseeds.
1)Melt 1 tsp of butter
2)Mash a ripe banana into the bowl
3)Add a whole egg and mix well
4)Mix in a tbsp of flaxseeds
These pancakes are harder to flip, so the trick is to a) make them small (2 tbsp max in size!) and b) get the pan really hot before cooking.
I added a little maple syrup and cinnamon, but the truth is they were already pretty sweet because of the banana.
Even better? The whole meal (including the maple syrup) is ~320 calories, 12 grams of protein, and 6 grams of fiber! Woohhoo!

Food shopping is confusing as hell and choosing a healthy #granolabar is no exception. I like @KINDSnacks- partly because I recognize all the ingredients, but also, because most (not all) bars are pretty low in sugar. This one is only 6 grams of sugar with 2.5 grams of fiber. Perfect for a small snack or pre-workout burst of energy. #healthysnacks #lowsugar #highfiber #bushwick #bushwicknutrition
Homemade #Gruesli! I made up the word myself (I think ;). It’s a mix between #granola and #muesli ;). Doesn’t sound so lazy, right? Wrong! This recipe is super easy. Cooking time: ~25-30min. 1)Mix the following in a large bowl: -2 tbsp of olive oil (or coconut) -2 tbsp agave syrup (or maple) -1 tsp vanilla extract -1 tbsp chia seeds (or flax, or hemp) -a pinch of salt -a pinch of cinnamon (or nutmeg) 2)Add 1 cup of rolled oats, slowly coating it with the mix 3)Add ¼ cup of nuts (walnuts, pecans, or almonds are my favorite) 4)Spread on a pan and bake at 300F for 8 mins. Stir and bake for another 8 mins or until golden brown. 5)Last but not least, add ¼ cup of dried fruit (raisins, apricots, cranberries, ginger, etc) Serving size: ¼ cup Servings: ~6-7 #granola #homemade #lowsugar #highfiber #muesli #gruesli #bushwick #bushwicknutrition
