@cookingforpeanuts: ⬇️Meal Prep Basics as a Registered Dietitian in her 50th year of life. ⭐️My strategy is to have these health supportive basics on hand, and then create meals around them. Here are the categories I think about ⬇️: ⭐️Legume - beans or lentils ⭐️Soy protein or seitan - hard to hit your protein goals with just legumes. ⭐️Whole grain - Oats groats, barley, farro, etc ⭐️Low-oxalate leafy green (calcium) - bok choy, kale, collards, arugula ⭐️Extra antioxidants (anthocyanins)-purple sweet potato ⭐️Beets - improved exercise performance and endurance (eat them separately from greens) ⭐️Cruciferous (sulforaphane)- broccoli, cauliflower, red cabbage etc. I cook easy fresh meals in the week and use these staples to meet my health goals. Love, Nisha #nutrition #mealprep #healthy
