3 Ingredient Smoothie

3 Super-foods you already have at home!

Hey guys! I’m all about making nutrition and wellness as simple as possible here at Tattvum, and one easy way to boost your nutrition is to simply add more of the good stuff!
 In today’s post, I’m sharing 3 of my favorite common super-foods that are probably already in your kitchen. You can easily incorporate into your favorite meals, snacks, or smoothies to boost the nutrition content. Keep reading for the list!
What’s a super-food, anyway? Super-foods are called “super” because they boast a very high amount of nutrients in just one small serving. Imagine super-foods as just an ingredient that has A LOT of the good stuff your body needs to feel amazing.
 Below I’ve shared 3 of my favorites how they can improve your health and optimize your meals or snacks. 
Lemon- A vitamin C rich low sugar fruit that add zing to your meals with both its flavor and vitamin C boost! Try squeezing fresh lemon on greens, in smoothies, on pasta, and on fish/shrimp/chicken/etc. to help increase the absorption of iron, especially non-heme iron from plant-based proteins and plant foods.


Spinach- A fiber-rich dark leafy green rich in vitamins A and K, potassium, B vitamins, and not to mention fiber! Fiber is crucial to keeping our digestive systems happy, i.e. functioning optimally and regularly. Spinach is great raw in smoothies and juices or lightly steamed, roasted, or cooked. I prefer cooked spinach more than raw and recommend you consume it with a healthy fat like coconut oil, avocado, nuts/seeds, etc. to increase the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins in spinach such as vitamins A and K.

Ginger-Anti-Inflammatory action (example: studies have shown relief from arthritis).
Ginger is safe and effective at relieving nausea and vomiting. It has Antioxidant properties and boosts Immunity (helps fight off colds and flu)


Ginger, Lemon & Spinach Smoothie-

 INGREDIENTS
1 glass water /coconut water
2 tbsp. lemon juice
1-2 thumb sized chunks fresh ginger
3 tsp.  Pumpkin seeds
4-5 fresh spinach leaves
Ice Cubes (optional)

2.      Feel free to add these health super-foods to your green smoothie if you have them on hand as well-

HOW I STOPPED STRESS EATING!

HOW I STOPPED STRESS EATING! The next time you sit down to eat a meal, do one thing for me: connect with your body and become aware of how you’re feeling. Are you feeling stressed or relaxed? Are you holding on? Is your stomach starting to clench? Are you feeling scared /anxious? Is your heart racing? Or perhaps you feel calm and present? You may be excited about your food or you may start to feel guilty about what you are about to eat. These are some of the emotions I used to feel every time I sat down to a plate of food. However, it doesn’t have to be like this — here’s my advice: My advice: ·          Next time you sit down to a meal – take 3 long deep breathes and relax your entire body. ·          Try your best to remove all judgment about what you are about to eat – instead focus on slowly enjoying each mouthful. Judgment around food causes stress which makes it actually harder to di...

6 quick beauty tips by a Nutritionist I’m a firm believer that beauty starts in the kitchen. The relationship between the food we eat and the way we treat our bodies is inevitably reflected in our outward appearance. What we put in is what comes out, and that’s why these tips really makes a difference in how I look and feel.   1.        Drink more water.  Staying hydrated is the easiest and most effective beauty tip, in my opinion. In order to achieve that healthy glow, your goal is to consume about 2 litres of water a day. It’s easier than you think to meet your hydration goals – herbal tea counts, and so do fruits and veggies. That’s right, fresh produce also has a high water content! Think leafy greens, citrus fruits and berries to boost beauty. 2.        Eat (and drink) more greens.  Not only do greens help you hydrate, they also contain so many beautifying vitamins and nutrients tha...
