🌽😋This is a tasty (& healthier!) version of corn on the cob than traditional corn and butter.

It’s sweet, salty, spicy, and just plain delicious.

Mexican Grilled Corn
(1 serving = 1 ear)

Corn (still on the cob)
Olive oil
Fresh lime juice
Ground sea salt
Cayenne pepper

Preheat your grill to medium. Remove the husk and silk from the corn, and brush each ear with olive oil.

Place the corn on the grill and cook for 10 to 15 minutes, turning the corn every few minutes to ensure even cooking.

Sprinkle with lime juice, sea salt, and cayenne pepper to taste and enjoy!

❓What is “mindful” eating?

😮Researchers found that most people spend 20+ minutes eating and 60+ minutes drinking while doing something else … every single day.

Being “mindful” can help you become more intentional about your food choices.

Mindful eating means paying attention to:
✅What foods you buy and what is in those foods,
✅Where your food comes from,
✅How you prepare foods,
✅Where and how you serve it,
✅Chewing and tasting your food, and
✅How specific foods make you feel during and after eating them.

⁉️Do you practice mindful eating?👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼

😋I’ve got a meal prep superfood bowl recipe that’s fast & easy … and it uses ......... convenience foods!

In just a few minutes, you can have 4 healthy meals ready to go for lunch or dinner!

🔥Want to add more protein? Just add 3-4 ounces (80-115 g) of cubed rotisserie or grilled chicken to each serving.

👉🏼NOTE: You don’t have to rely on the convenience food option. Just cook the ingredients ahead of time, and assemble your superfood bowl when it’s mealtime.

Meal Prep Vegan Superfood Bowl
(makes 4 servings)

8 oz (250 g) package of microwavable quinoa (or 2 cups/125 g cooked)
½ cup (120 g) of hummus
2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
5 oz (140 g) package baby spinach, rinsed
8 oz (250 g) package cooked refrigerated baby beets (from the produce section)
1 cup (140 g) frozen shelled edamame, thawed
1 avocado (slice right before eating)
¼ cup (30 g) unsalted toasted pepitas (pumpkin seeds)

Prepare the quinoa according to the package directions.

While the quinoa cools, make the dressing: whisk together the hummus and lemon juice. If it is too thick, drizzle in a few drops of water to thin to your desired consistency. Set aside.

Divide the spinach among 4 reusable containers. To each container, add a quarter of the quinoa, beets, edamame, and pepitas.

When you’re ready to eat, top each serving with ¼ of the hummus dressing and toss well before adding ¼ of the avocado, cut into slices.

😋Serve and enjoy!

🦁Do I really need to take a rest day?
Taking a rest day can help your results. But it's up to you!
Reasons to take a rest day:
✅Prevent physical burnout: Too little rest can leave you depleted, stale, and sore.
✅Prevent mental burnout: constantly pushing yourself can set you up to start dreading (vs. looking forward to) your workouts.
Plus, rest days can help you:
🔥Create a more balanced life: fitness is important, but so are your other hobbies and interests.
🔥Spend time with your family and friends.
🔥Do some “adulting.” Grocery shopping, meal prepping, chores, errands, etc. have to get done at some point.

😋This Cuban-inspired salad is creamy, tangy, and sweet – I know you’ll love it!

Serve it with a lean protein (grilled fish or chicken would be delicious) or as a healthy snack.

🧅FUN TIP: Soaking the onion can help get rid of the “bite!”

Avocado Pineapple salad
4 big/8 small servings

½ small red onion, thinly sliced and separated
1 Tbsp baking soda (optional)
Ice water (about 1 cup/240 ml)
2 ripe avocados
1 medium fresh pineapple
3 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
Juice of 1 lime
½ tsp sea salt
Freshly ground pepper to taste (optional)

Soak onion in a small bowl of ice water and optional baking soda for 15 minutes.

While the onion is soaking, cut the avocados in half, and then cut each half into slices or chunks. Peel the pineapple, cut into quarters lengthwise to remove the core, and then cut each quarter into slices.

Whisk oil and lime juice in a small bowl.

Drain the onion & rinse it if you used the baking soda. Pat the slices dry. Toss all of the ingredients (onion, avocados, pineapple, dressing, salt & pepper) in a large bowl and arrange on a serving plate.

🍍Serve and enjoy!
