Are you Receiving the Newsletter?
Each month I put out a free newsletter! What are you missing? The learning opportunities that are coming up, a plant-based recipe, book recommendations, and a referenced article about food and health. The article for the March newsletter looks at whether or not it is more expensive to “eat healthy.” If you are not on the mailing list you can sign up throughout the website. If you want the March newsletter, send me an email and I will get it to you! Karen@empoweringtruehealth.com

Be Adventurous Part 2!
In response to a previous post on trying new foods, someone mentioned jackfruit through social media. Have you seen what it looks like before it ends up in cans and pouches? I saw a basket of jackfruit at our local grocery store and was surprised at how big they are! When doing research, it is a large tropical fruit and when ripe tastes sweet like a combo of banana, pineapple, and mango.
Eating on Vacation
I spent last week on vacation. While I didn’t eat as healthy as I would have at home, it wasn’t awful! We had some groceries delivered to our resort- cereal, soy milk, fruit, peanut butter and jelly, bread- to use for breakfast and lunch (although sometimes used for a light dinner). I was able to order vegetarian meals when eating out but I’m sure they weren’t oil free. Pulled pork nachos and a Thanksgiving crepe were my treats to enjoy. There’s a balance between being mindful of what you are eating and giving yourself permission to have something you normally wouldn’t eat on a regular basis.
Be Adventurous!
I encouraged people in one of my classes to buy a new to them food at the grocery store to try. My choice was a small banana. The pic shows it's size compared to the standard banana. It had a sweeter taste than what we usually get. I challenge you to try a new fruit or vegetable as well!
