The new year is a great time to prioritize your nutrition, health and wellness. I’m on CBS Las Vegas with realistic tips and recipes to help make this your healthiest year yet.
My first tip is to focus on balancing your plate with produce, fiber-rich carbohydrates and nutrient-dense protein like salmon which is packed with omega-3 fats important for brain and heart health.
Mowi is one of the largest salmon producers in the world. Their 6 ounce filets have one of the highest certifications in the industry: Best Aquaculture Practices (BAP) and are available in different varieties including plain and pre-seasoned. Fresh Mowi Atlantic salmon is farmed, freshly processed and packed, utilizing skin pack technology that allows the product to breathe out, but does not allow anything to breathe in. This allows the shelf life to be extended and the product can be available at stores or online in as little as 24 hours.
My next tip is to prioritize protein. Protein is an important macronutrient that helps us feel fuller longer, and is essential for muscle growth, repair and maintenance.
Whether you’re keto, paleo, gluten-free or just looking for a simple way to add a delicious protein boost to your favorite recipes , Pacific Foods’ bone broths are an easy way to do that. In each cup serving you get 9 grams of protein and about 40 calories, for nutritious sipping, a workout boost, snacking or dining. It’a made from non-GMO, organic-certified ingredients like chicken and beef slow-simmered alongside flavorful vegetables, herbs and cider vinegar so you get pure flavor. You can find Pacific Foods bone broth at your local grocery store.
My next tip is to snack smarter.
Pistachios are a great option because they are one of the few plant-based sources of complete protein with 6 grams per serving. A recent study out of Cornell University found that pistachios are very high in antioxidants. In fact, the level of antioxidants in pistachios rival that of other popular foods commonly thought ?of as high in antioxidants – including pomegranates, blueberries and red wine. To make these plant-based no-bake pistachio snack bars , combine 1 1/2 cup of shelled pistachios with 2 cups of soft pitted dates and press the batter into a prepared baking pan. Top with melted chocolate and crushed pistachios before letting it set in the fridge and cutting into bars.
