Thrive Nutrition & Wellness

We are here to support your health and well-being through nutrition and lifestyle measures during the Coronavirus outbreak. That being said, many of our clients have underlying health concerns and since we are fortunate enough to be able to provide our services virtually or via phone consults, it feels socially responsible to move all appointments to these methods of meeting for the foreseeable future. If you have an upcoming appointment scheduled, I will be reaching out to y...ou to ask which method you prefer. If you would like to schedule a new appointment, you can do so via our website: www.thrivenutritionandwellness.com/book-your-appointment. Thank you and don't forget to wash your hands! ;)

Wishing you a #happyvalentinesday from my #furbabies

This is important for those of us with #celiacdisease!

Happy National Gluten Free Day! I've been following a strict #glutenfree diet since 2012 when I was diagnosed with #celiacdisease. It can be a difficult lifestyle at times, but overall this "restrictive" diet has actually expanded the variety in my diet and increased the quality of the foods I put in my body. I’m not saying it doesn’t have its challenges, but I FEEL SO MUCH BETTER which makes any of the frustrations worth it. Are you #glutenfree? What brought you to this jou...rney? What are your biggest challenges and biggest wins? #nationalglutenfreeday #celiacdisease #cns #certifiednutritionspecialist #certifieddietitiannutritionist #icanhelpyou

January is a popular time for New Year's Resolutions and implementing change. Eating healthier, losing weight, and feeling better are great goals, but sometimes focusing on something more specific can help you be more successful. Learning how to cut back on sugar can have huge impacts on your weight, energy and overall well-being. Thanks to 7 Eyewitness News WKBW for reaching out to interview me on the topic. To learn more or get some personalized help on how to reduce sugar in your life, contact me! https://www.wkbw.com/n/local-news/2020-transformations-diet

Looking for a sweet treat that you don't need to feel guilty about? Look no further! Decadent Dark Chocolate Peppermint Truffles These scrumptious treats are indulgent and rich, but also much healthier than most of the sweet treats you'll be around in the coming days! With dates as the primary sweeteners, you're consuming lots of fiber which helps to stabilize the blood sugar versus anything made with plain sugar. Dates are also good sources of magnesium, potassium, copper, m...anganese, iron and vitamin B6. Yum! Ingredients (makes 30-48 truffles depending on how big you make them) 3 cups Pitted Dates (packed) 8 cups Water (just boiled) 1 cup Cocoa or Cacoa Powder 1 1/2 tsp Peppermint Extract cup Coconut Oil plus additional tbsp for chocolate coating 12 oz Organic Dark Chocolate Chips 2 candy canes (crushed) Instructions: 1. Add the dates to a large bowl and cover with just-boiled hot water. Let them sit for 8 to 10 minutes. 2. Drain the dates and add to a blender or food processor along with cocoa powder, peppermint extract and coconut oil. Process until the mixture comes together. 3. Remove the chocolate mixture and scoop into rough teaspoon-sized balls. Don't roll them with your hands just yet as they will be too oily. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet and put them in the freezer to set for about 8 to 10 minutes. 4. In a small bowl, add the chocolate chips and tbsp coconut oil and microwave on high for 30 to 45-second intervals until melted. Stir with a spoon to fully combine. 5. Remove the truffles from the freezer and use your hands to smooth them into balls. Take each ball and roll into melted chocolate with a spoon and then place them back on the baking sheet. Top with crushed candy canes and let them sit for 5 to 10 minutes to set or place in the fridge to set faster. Enjoy! #healthierchoices #sodelicious #yummy #glutenfree #vegan #happyholidays
