👨‍🍳 This recipe for spicy-sweet roasted carrots can be made in the oven OR on the grill – which means it’s a great side dish for a bbq.

The cumin seeds (this week’s food of the week) give a pop of just-right spice.

If you’re grilling, seal the prepped carrots in foil and roast until tender.

🥕 Cumin Roasted Carrot 🥕
(makes 4 servings)
- 4 large carrots, sliced into ¼-inch (½ cm) rounds
- 3 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 3 Tbsp orange juice
- 1½ tsp cumin seed
- ½ tsp sea salt
- ground black pepper, to taste
- Pinch of cayenne

Preheat the oven to 450ºF/230ºC.

Slice the carrots. In a medium bowl, mix together the rest of the ingredients. Add the carrots and mix well.

Spread out the carrots in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet.

Roast for 20 mins and then remove from the oven to flip the carrots over to ensure even cooking. Roast for another 10-12 minutes, until browned.

Try not to eat them all at once :-)

🔥If you like Southwestern, Asian, or Mediterranean food … chances are you love CUMIN.

Not only does it add a spicy flair, but it’s also known for its healing properties.

✅ Fun Fact: In traditional medicine, cumin is used to treat digestive problems, diabetes, and a wide variety of ailments.

Modern research shows that cumin may contain compounds that help with insulin control, improved cholesterol, healthier digestion ... and even memory loss.

💪🏻It’s loaded with antioxidants and is a good source of calcium and magnesium.

It’s also one of the few foods that’s naturally rich in iron … and is considered a good source of iron even when used just as a seasoning!

Do you use it a lot when you cook? ⬇️⬇️⬇️

🔥WEEKLY CHALLENGE! 🔥

Welcome to your Balance Challenge.

Your mission if you choose to accept it: Do one balance exercise every day.

Balance is an important (but often forgotten) part of functional fitness.

It requires coordination, strength, stability, mobility, AND flexibility ...

And you need it for pretty much everything in your life, like walking, changing directions, taking the stairs, stepping over obstacles, and the list goes on.

As you get older, it can get harder to maintain your balance. This means it’s even MORE important to keep practicing it.

That’s why this week your challenge is to do ONE balance exercise every day.

There are a LOT of new pasta varieties on the market now … and many of them are made with beans like lentils and chickpeas.

They typically include TWICE the protein and fiber and pack fewer carbs.

Plus, they are super filling and help your digestive system to do its job.

🧐You can find bean-based pasta in pretty much any grocery store.

The ingredients and nutrient profile can vary widely, so read your labels.

🥑Delicious … refreshing … quick … and easy! This guac salad recipe deserves a spot in your regular rotation.

It’s also delicious as a side dish with grilled chicken or steak.

5-Ingredient Guacamole Salad
(serves 4)

- Juice and zest of 2 large limes
- Sea salt & freshly ground pepper to taste
- 3 avocados, peeled, pitted, and diced
- 1½ cups (225 g) grape tomatoes
- ¼ red onion, minced
- 4 Tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
- 4 big handfuls of salad greens

Make the dressing: In a medium bowl, whisk the lime juice and zest, and a pinch or two each of salt, and pepper. Taste and adjust seasonings.

Add the avocado and gently stir to coat with the lime mixture, being careful not to “mash” it. Then add the remaining ingredients and gently stir again.

Serve over salad greens. 🥗
