What’s In What I Eat

I made a smoothie that is fun, refreshing, sweet, and every ingredient adds something my body can benefit from.

My smoothie base is usually bananas, dates, and nuts. Everything else depends on what I have.

What’s in this version:

• Bananas

• Dates

• Chia seeds

• Walnuts

• Cinnamon

• Macadamia nut milk

The bananas and dates bring all the sweetness. The walnuts and chia seeds make the smoothie fuller and thicker. The cinnamon brings warmth. The macadamia nut milk brings a smooth creaminess and makes the smoothie pourable.

What each ingredient provides:

• Bananas — potassium, vitamin B6, fiber, natural sweetness, quick energy

• Dates — fiber, magnesium, potassium, natural sweetness

• Chia seeds — omega-3 fats, plant protein, fiber, calcium

• Walnuts — plant protein, omega-3 fats, magnesium

• Cinnamon — antioxidants, warmth

• Macadamia nut milk — healthy fats and a creamy base

For me, eating nutrient dense foods looks like eating real food from nature, combined for nourishment, that also tastes good. 

When drinking this smoothie, I feel refreshed from the cool temperature, full from the denseness, and calm and clear from the nutrients.

Eating for nourishment while enjoying the food is a practice.

Welcome to the meal.
