Using #leftover #toastedcoconut flakes from yesterday’s salad on my #peanutbutter English muffin. I love being able to #repurpose food :) #bushwick #lazynutritionist #lazynutrition #bushwicknutrition #simplemeals #breakfast #happyFriday!!
Absolutely LOVED my #breakfast at #artcafenyack. Most important meal of the day :)) Two #organic whole #eggs, #israelisalad (#veggies for breakfast!), pita, Bulgarian cheese, #olive spread, and #labane. #goodstarttotheday #bushwick #bushwicknutrition #lazynutrition #lazynutritionist
When you have a #crying #baby that just doesn’t want to #sleep (for example…) finding the right #proteinbar is golden! I like #ThinkThin (#chocolate) because it has 20 grams of #protein and #zerosugar. That said- it does have #sugaralcohols that can cause tummy issues for some. Be mindful of that when trying it for the first time! #bushwicknutrition #bushwick #lazynutrition #lazynutritionist #lowcarb #onthegomeal #lifesaver
Try this yummy #breakfast that took all of 9 minutes to prep, cook, and eat (just kidding). It’s also packed with #protein (a nutrient that is lacking in most American breakfasts) as well as #healthyfats.
1) Heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a small/medium pan. 2) In the meantime cut half a #redonion. 3) Sauté it with the olive oil for ~3-4 minutes. 4) Crack 2 large eggs and scramble until desired consistency. 5) Clean and cut a handful of #cilantro. 6) Top off with 2 tbsp of #pepitas (#sunflower #seeds) and a tsp of fresh #jalapeño. Add salt and pepper to taste.
FYI: the best way to #store #cilantro is keeping it in a jar in the refrigerator with a bag over the leaves.

I love #bagels, but I rarely indulge in them because they are so many damn #calories and truth be told I do not feel so awesome after eating it. One bagel is usually 4-6 ounces of #starch, which makes it around 320-480 calories without any toppings! No wonder a #baconeggcheesebagel can be upwards of 800 calories!! Crazy.
So- if you feel like having a bagel, try: a) choosing better toppings, b) having a smaller bagel c) only having half a time and d) being active right after to avoid the #energycrash. #carbload #balance #bushwick #bushwicknutrition #lazynutrition #lazynutritionist
#GreenJuicing at the #beach in a gelato container ;) Thank you @sebasguti and @palovelezk! Fun times with @r2666 @alejame
Yup. It is what it looks like. I am using an #applecider #icepop as both my ice and a mild sweetener in my #seltzer. Adds a little something to the water without overloading it with sugar. #Yummy!!! Happy Friday :) #bushwick #bushwicknutrition #lazynutrition #lazynutritionist #lowsugar #lowcalorie
#Brunch4two :)
Mine: Avocado sandwich with Parmesan on 7-grain bread with a side steak salad.
Theo: Milk with #homemade #carrot #yellowsquash #puree

#FoodLabelingConfusion!!! There are so many messages (or should I say, mixed messages) on this box. I just wanted to point out a few: 1) Even though it says QUINOA pasta, the first ingredient is corn. Always read the #ingredient list. 2) Any food that is animal free is naturally #cholesterolfree. So… yes, it’s a little weird when orange juice says cholesterol free (?) 3) The serving is 2 oz of dry pasta which makes about 1 cup cooked pasta. 1 cup cooked pasta is 3 servings of carbs…. It adds up quickly! #bushwick #bushwicknutrition #foodlabel #quinoapasta #ingredientlist #lazynutrition #lazynutritionist
A very proud mama moment :) Theo started experimenting with solids a little over a week ago. We started with #avocado, of course, to solidify his Mexican roots! and have since tried sweet potato, carrots, peaches, banana, pears, and now #spinach! He’s loved every one of them. I’ve also managed to #bulkcook some veggies into 1-2 ounce servings. Both carrots and sweet potatoes took about 1.5 hours, only because the sweet potato had to cook for an hour. And you only need a pan and blender- no fancy equipment necessary. #proudmom #firstfoods #kidsnutrition #blendingfoods #dream #theoAcampos #lazynutrition #lazynutritionist #bushwick #bushwicknutrition #healthykidfoods
#Pineapple with #basil at the #beach. What more do you need?! #lovethebeach #FreshBasil #vitaminC #vitaminD #riispark #rockaways #bushwicknutrition #bushwick #lazynutritionist #lazynutrition
So proud of myself! I cooked #mahimahi (about 3 5-ounce fillets, ~the size of the palm of the hand) and it was delish!! I rarely cook #fish… Not because I don’t love it, but 1) it leaves an all too powerful odor in a small apartment, and 2) I realized I had a misconceived notion that it was difficult (or timely) to cook, when it’s neither!
How to cook in a pan:
1) Place burner on high heat and lightly spray with oil.
2) In the meantime- combine about 2 tbsp of melted butter, half the juice of a lemon, 1 tsp of low sodium #soysauce, and (very important) a bunch of #lemonzest.
3) Brush the sauce on both sides of the filet.
4) Cook for 3 min of each side.
5) Add a little more lemon zest and S&P to taste.
So good! And EASY. It took me about 15min total and I still have two fillets lefts for other #easymeals.

An oldie but a goody. #FreshBasil (#homegrown), #mozzarella, and #local #tomatoes (two different varieties from our beautiful, green thumb neighbors!) with balsamic and loads of #EVOO. The healthy #fat in the olive oil helps absorb all the fat soluble #vitamins in the tomatoes. #bushwick #bushwicknutrition #lazynutritionist #lazynutrition
What’s for #lunch? Or should I say early dinner? #Turkey on #multigrain bread with #peppadew #peppers, #pickled #shallots, manchego, #arugula, and a tinge of harissa mayo from #Dépanneur in Williamsburg. Awesome combo and a nice mix of veggies, protein, whole grains, and yummy flavor. #lazynutritionist #lazynutrition #sandwichesrock
There are certain things (foods, activities, etc) that just make you feel #healthy like sweating or eating dark leafy greens. Drinking #kombucha has that instant effect on me. I do have to say it’s an acquired (slightly tangy) taste and expensive (unfortunately) at $4 a 16oz bottle (hence why I only indulge once or twice a week). This #fermented #tea has both #bacteria and #yeast and is naturally #lowsugar. It’s great for #digestion, has #immuneboosting properties, helps increase #energy, and some animal studies suggest it has #preventive and #curative effects on a number of #metabolic diseases (too early to confirm). My favorite is #blackchia from @gtskombucha.
FYI: You can totally make your own, and they say it’s relatively easy. Haven’t tried yet… maybe when Theo is a little older ;)

One day, I will a)have a garden, and b)have the energy to grow veggies like #artichokes! For now- I will just enjoy eating them :) Love the #BrooklynBotanicalGarden <3 #gardening #bushwicknutrition #lazynutrition #lazynutritionist
So simple and delicious! #PeanutButter with #chia and #flax seeds by @traderjoesgrocery. Best part? You can totally make it yourself! Just make sure to purchase natural #nutbutter with no added ingredients like palm oil or sugar. It’s okay if it has a little salt! Before putting the nut butter in the fridge mix in a tablespoon of chia and flax for added #fiber, #protein, and veggie #omega3s. #lazynutritionist #lazynutrition #bushwick #bushwicknutrition #healthy
It’s a hot one today! Enjoy this #Mango #Pineapple #Spinach #Mint #Icepop!! No added sugars. I swear, you won’t even taste the spinach! Delicious and nutritious.
Blend about 4 cups of fresh or frozen fruit- 2 cups of mango, 1 cup of pineapple, 1 cup of spinach (tightly packed), and a handful of fresh mint. Blend and stir as needed. Add a little water to blend easier, but not too much! Makes 10 3-ounce popsicles. #yummy!!!!

Instead of waiting for your #fresh #fruit to go bad, just 1) cut it up and leave it in the fridge for easy access as a healthy, quick #snack and/or 2) freeze for future use (#icepops, #smoothies, with #yogurt, #fruitcubes). #Yumyum #watermelon!!! #healthy #nutrition #lazynutrition #lazynutritionist #bushwick #bushwicknutrition
What’s the best thing about #hosting a #BBQ? The #leftovers, of course :) This delicious salad is made with #grilledchicken, #cambray onions, #yellowsquash, #zucchini, #redpeppers, a little #cheddar, and a dash of #pepitas over a bed of greens (arugula, spinach, chard). #lazynutrition #lazynutritionist #bushwick #bushwicknutrition #easymeals #health #nutrition
