📌 But first, SAVE this post and FOLLOW @guidedwellnessbyangela for EASY healthy recipes + natural nutrition

When eating a diverse, balanced diet it’s important to include healthy fats (quality, minimally processed fats) like nuts, seeds, extra virgin olive oil, avocados. Healthy fats help us better absorb and use the antioxidants, vitamins and minerals found in vegetables. Fat-soluble vitamins including 👉 vitamins A, D and E.

Fats also help to add flavour and keep us satisfied which is why I love incorporating healthy fats like tahini and avocado into my dressings and finishing my dish with a sprinkle of nuts or seeds.

Green Goddess Jalapeño Dressing

INGREDIENTS (serves 2-4):
▪️ 1/3 cup tahini
▪️ 1/3 cup water
▪️ 1/2 green jalapeño pepper (remove the rib and seeds)
▪️ 1 lime, freshly squeezed
▪️ 2 cloves garlic minced
▪️ 1/4 bunch cilantro
▪️ 1 Tbsp honey
▪️ Pinch sea salt

TO MAKE >>> Add all the ingredients for the dressing into a high speed blender and blend until smooth. Add water as needed to reach your desired consistency.

HERE’S WHY 👇 📌 But first, SAVE this post

HERE’S WHY 👇

📌 But first, SAVE this post and FOLLOW @guidedwellnessbyangela

CANDY CANES
Made with refined sugars including corn syrup and fructose, artificial flavours and dangerous dyes (Red 20, Yellow 5, Blue 1). Hard candy takes longer to eat - coating your teeth with sugar and dye creating a breeding ground for the bacteria in your mouth to feed off. Eating candy may increase your risk of cavities, obesity and type 2 diabetes. ▶️ For something super sweet and satisfying I prefer dried fruits like mango, apricot and cranberries. I look for unsweetened and brush my teeth right after eating. Fresh fruit can be equally satisfying when you train your taste buds to enjoy the natural flavours whole foods have to offer, not their chemical imposters.

SCENTED CANDLES
Before my journey to wellness, I used to love buying scented candles for the holidays. (Gingerbread spice was my favourite scent.) Here’s the thing…many brands release harmful chemicals (scented or unscented) dangerous to human health and inhaling any type of smoke can be unhealthy. ▶️ What we put on our skin and breathe into our lungs is just as important as what we put in our mouth. Switching to a diffuser with essential oils and taking advantage of their therapeutic benefits was the best decision I made. Making simmer pots and opening up the windows for fresh air are also great natural and simple alternatives.

HOLIDAY CHOCOLATES
Most commercial brands are loaded with sugar, filled with artificial ingredients and preservatives. Most holiday chocolates are in fact candy as they contain very little cacao at all. Quality chocolate brands are few and far between and cost a pretty penny! ▶️ Once you learn how easy (and affordable) it is to make chocolate at home with just 3 pantry staples you’ll be making chocolate treats at home >>> checkout my HOMEMADE CHOCOLATE TREATS GUIDE and learn how to make TURTLES, CHOCOLATE BARK, TWIX BARS and more!

If I don’t have healthy treats on hand then I’m more likely to munch on other things in my cupboard and still feel unsatisfied.

Meal prepping healthy treats or snacks with ingredients you crave (for me that’s usually nut butter and dark chocolate) help you satisfy that craving healthfully.

I believe in an 80/20 lifestyle (I share more about this in my upcoming ebook) which means I don’t deprive myself of something sweet, I just make sure I’m prepared with options that are healthy, guilt free, usually homemade, usually include chocolate and made with nutrient dense ingredients. Like these cashew stuffed dates ⬇️

RECIPE: Cashew Stuffed Dates
INGREDIENTS:
▪️ 1/2 cup cashew butter @addjoi
▪️ 1/2 cup whole cashews
▪️ 1/3 cup dark chocolate chips @caminoamigos
▪️ 15-18 Medjool dates

DIRECTIONS: Prepare the dates by removing the pit and stem then stuff each date with 1-2 tsps cashew butter and 1-2 whole cashews. Pop them in the freezer for 30mins or so until they firm up then add a drizzle of melted chocolate over each stuffed date. Store in the fridge or freezer and enjoy!

MEAL PREP TIP: Make an extra large batch of your healthy treat of choice and store in the freezer. This way they stay fresher longer and they are out of sight so you are less likely to keep reaching for them 😉

‼️ Then, get on the waitlist for my upcoming ebook 21 DAY HEALTHY RESET 👉 @guidedwellnessbyangela learn how to put your health and wellness on autopilot for 2024 ‼️

INGREDIENTS:
▪️ 3 cups rolled oats
▪️ 1/2 cup pumpkin seeds
▪️ 1/2 cup chopped almonds (or walnuts)
▪️ 1/4 cup sesame seeds (or sunflower seeds)
▪️ 3 Tbsp flax seeds
▪️ 3 Tbsp hemp seeds
▪️ 1 Tbsp gingerbread spice blend (recipe below)
▪️ 1/2 tsp sea salt
▪️ 1/2 cup tahini (or nut/seed butter)
▪️ 1/2 cup coconut oil (or olive oil)
▪️ 1/4 cup unsulphured molasses (I like blackstrap)
▪️ 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
▪️ 1/2 cup rasinis

Directions
1️⃣ Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
2️⃣ In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients and mix well to combine.
3️⃣ Add the tahini, coconut oil, molasses and maple syrup to a small sauce pan and heat over medium low heat while stirring. Once combined pour over dry ingredients.Mix well, until the oat mixture is completely coated.
4️⃣ Spread the mixture out onto the prepared baking sheet and press down gently using the back of a spatula or spoon.
5️⃣ Gently bake for 15 - 20 minutes, until fragrant and golden. Turn the pan half-way through for more even baking.
6️⃣ Do not stir while baking. Let it cool completely before breaking up the granola and transferring it into airtight glass containers. Add in the raisins after the granola is done baking otherwise I find they get too hard.

RECIPE: GINGERBREAD SPICE BLEND
INGREDIENTS:
▪️ 3 Tbsp ground cinnamon
▪️ 2 Tbsp ground ginger
▪️ 1 Tbsp ground allspice
▪️ 1 Tbsp ground nutmeg
▪️ 1 Tbsp ground cloves

3 HACKS HERE ⬇️

If you want to master your nutrition goals in 2024 consistency is key. Fad diets and extreme programs are not sustainable. Follow these 3 hacks for a realistic approach 👇

‼️ Then, get on the waitlist for my upcoming ebook 21 DAY HEALTHY RESET 👉 @guidedwellnessbyangela learn how to put your health and wellness on autopilot for 2024 ‼️

1️⃣ Focus on whole foods, mainly plants. Limit processed pre-packaged foods, fake foods and convenience foods. Whole natural plant foods are packed with vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. They are essential for your health but also they are packed with fibre to help keep you feeling full (think volume and low calorie density).

2️⃣ Meal plan for your week ahead and prep a few staples for the week. You don’t have to spend an entire weekend in the kitchen. Pick at least one protein, one whole grain, wash and chop a few veggies and prep a healthy treat. Or focus prepping a particular meal (breakfast, lunch or dinner) for the week.

3️⃣ Keep it simple. You don’t need any fancy equipment or expensive ingredients to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Stick to recipes that are easy to prepare and require minimal ingredients so you are more likely to stick to your goals and benefit from long term changes.
