Okay ladies and gents, Bailey (@bailey.nutrition)

Okay ladies and gents, Bailey (@bailey.nutrition) here AGAIN but this is important: We hear “to eat enough fiber” all the time….but what even is it? And why do we need it?

Dietary fiber is a nutrient that we actually don’t digest, and it’s found in plant foods such as legumes, whole grains, fruits, and vegetables. Instead of absorbing it, it just passes through the digestive system. There are two types of fiber: soluble and insoluble. Soluble fiber dissolves in water and can be found in foods such as oats, beans, and citrus fruits. Insoluble fiber does not dissolve in water, and can be found in foods such as whole-wheat flour, potatoes, and cauliflower. Fiber helps keep your digestive system regular, regulate blood cholesterol, and control blood sugar levels! It’s best to try and eat a variety of fiber foods when possible. Shown here are lots of examples, including oats, whole grain bread, brown rice, garbanzo beans, a banana, celery, and an apple! Pair any of these high fiber foods with milk for a nutritious meal or snack.

It's Brinsley (@brinsabee) here 👋 talking about grocery store goodies! What do you normally get at the store? Here’s a breakdown of my usual grocery haul that sets me up for success during a busy week!

1. 🥓 Eggs & Turkey Bacon – I love these as my morning protein sources. Add some potatoes, oatmeal, or toast with a side of fruit and a glass of milk for a balanced breakfast.

2. Tortillas, Cereal, Oatmeal, Granola – My favorite grains that can be prepared quickly and easily.

3. Ground Flaxseeds – I love adding a spoonful to oatmeal, smoothies, or overnight oats for an extra boost of fiber and omega-3 fatty acids. Great for digestion and 🧠 brain power.

4. Celery, Carrots, Apples, Potatoes, Orange Juice – This week’s easy-to-prepare fruits and veggies. Most of this group provides fiber, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants.

5. 🧀 Milk, Cheese, Greek Yogurt – I usually buy 🥛 lactose-free milk. It’s my go-to as it sits the best with my stomach. It’s a good source of protein to help me refuel after home workouts and has calcium and vitamin D for my bones. Getting vitamin D thru foods is important during winter months in Michigan, when I’m not outside as much. Cheese and yogurt also give us beneficial calcium, but I chose Greek yogurt for the probiotics. These healthy bacteria support good digestion.

6. Garlic – I cook with garlic daily because I love the taste, and emerging research suggests it may be an immune booster and anti-inflammatory when part of a balanced diet. Try adding it to your grilled cheese this week for the ultimate cozy food and get ready to be mind blown! Rub some garlic on the butter sides of the toast before putting it in the pan, add your cheese, some tomatoes and voila!

7. Coffee ☕️ – I learned in college that coffee helps me be alert because of the caffeine. In moderation, this can be helpful for staying focused during a long day. It also adds antioxidants to help fight free radicals that cause cellular damage. Add a splash of milk or creamer and pair with a balanced breakfast, and I’m ready for my morning.

2. Meats/Seafood: chicken, shrimp
3. Drinks: iced coffee, Gatorade
4. Frozen foods: broccoli
5. Sweets: cookies 🍪
6. Milk/dairy: yogurt 🐄
7. Other: gallon trash bags

Brinsley (@brinsabee) here again! Do you know how

Brinsley (@brinsabee) here again! Do you know how to check an avocado for ripeness? Here are some tips! 🥑 🥑 🥑

1. What color is the avocado? A brighter green color isn’t quite ripe. A darker green to black color is ideal.
2. Is the skin smooth or bumpy? Ripened avocados often have bumpy skin.
3. Give the avocado a light squeeze. A ripe avocado should feel soft, but not too mushy.
4. Find the stem and lift it. If the inside appears yellow, it’s not ready. 👎 If the stem lifts easily and is green underneath, you have a ripe avocado. 👍

Avocados are good sources of monounsaturated fats. These help our brains🧠 and our hearts function as they should. Avocados are high in potassium, which makes sure our muscles and nerves are working properly. Try an avocado on toast, a sandwich, salad, in a smoothie, make guacamole, eat it with cottage cheese for a high protein snack, OR try our take on Kourtney Kardashian’s avo pudding with yogurt. Avo-cuse me?! Link in bio for all the healthy vibes today.

It's me, Bailey (@bailey.nutrition) a soon-to-be dietitian here!
Get some protein, fiber, and healthy fats with this oatmeal bowl! 💪 Make some old-fashioned oats with your choice of milk (used here is 1%), add some PB, fruit, nuts, and chia seeds for a satisfying breakfast! Why eat chia seeds, you ask? They have healthy fats that everyone needs like omega-3 fatty acids! These little seeds don’t even have a taste, and add a nice texture to yogurt, oatmeal, smoothies, and other dishes!
