Happy Dietitians Day!
March is Nutrition Month and today is Dietitians Day in Canada.
In honour of the day, I’ve rounded up a few fabulous dietitians from around the province of British Columbia to follow on Instagram (click the name to get to their profile). I’ve also included my favourite recipes from each of them.
It’s a bit of a strange time right now, but you can count on these ladies for evidenced-based information and guidance to help you stay well nourished while we spend more time at home.
Take care, and happy cooking.
Jenn Messina, RD: Jenn the Dietitian
Jenn works with North Shore moms to help them make feeding their families stress and guilt free. This recipe for one-bowl breakfast cookies are simple to make and are great for batch cooking, as they store well in the freezer. This is a fun one to make with the kids too.
Erin Brown, RD: The Food Life RD
Erin works in Vancouver, promoting healthy food relationships and body acceptance, one meal at a time. I love her arugula and squash salad and how-to guide for easy lunch salads.
Lindsay van der Meer, RD: Dietitian on the Move
Lindsay works in Prince George and focuses on plant-based recipes for athletes. Her hemp heart pesto is a great one for those allergic to nuts as well as vegans.
Emma Robinson, RD: Abundant Nutrition Co.
Emma works in Prince Rupert and works with people to help them rediscover the joy in eating while improving their health. Her “Meat Me Halfway” beef and lentil burger is perfect for those wanting to transition to a more plant-focused diet.
Cristel Moubarak, RD: Nutrifoodie
Cristel works in Vancouver and helps individuals with body positivity and Intuitive Eating. Her fruit smoothie recipe is just as beautiful as it is nourishing.
Ali Eberhardt, RD & Hannah Robinson, RD: Let Us Eat Cake Podcast
Okay, so technically these ladies don’t have any food recipes, but their podcast is the perfect recipe for cutting through the nutrition BS that’s out there. Definitely worth a listen. Don’t forget to rate, review and subscribe!
Thanks for the good tips. I’ve followed them all!
You’re welcome!
