SAN DIEGO — A well-balanced diet is the foundation for good health. With March being National Nutrition Month, it’s an important reminder of the critical role nutrition plays in well-being and better quality of life.
Nutrition Expert Gillean Barkyoumb joins our Laura Cavanaugh to share tips to eat healthier and time-saving hacks for busy families.
National Nutrition Month is the perfect opportunity to reassess your choices and make simple swaps with better-for-you options. Nutrition starts with making the right selections at the grocery store.
Barkyoumb says start with filling your fridge and pantry with healthy items. One of her favorites is Justin’s Almond Butter to keep you energized and satisfied throughout the day.
Just a two tablespoon serving of Justin’s Almond Butter adds 6 grams of plant-based protein and 3 grams of fiber.
For an easy way to pack nutrition into a picky eater’s diet, Barkyoumb says dairy milk is the ultimate Mom hack. Dairy milk is a cost-effective, nutrient-rich option to support growth, development and sleep.
It is the leading food source for nine essential nutrients for children ages 2-18, including calcium, Vitamin D and complete protein.
For a nutritious alternative to sugar and sweet treats, Barkyoumb recommends Natural Delights Medjool Dates to curb your pesky sugar cravings.
They are a nutrient-dense replacement for refined sugar with a delicious caramel flavor. Natural Delights Medjool Dates are filled with potassium, fiber, magnesium and are a sustainable source of carbohydrates.
Chop them up and throw them on salads or on top of side dishes or stuff them with nut butter for a yummy treat.
As a dietitian, mom of three and the Founder and Owner of the What’s for Dinner Club, Barkyoumb has been showing busy, millennial women how to make nutritious eating simple and convenient.
It provides weekly dinner meal plans with grocery lists that help you spend less and waste less. Each recipe includes easy tweaks to make it gluten-free, plant-based or kid-friendly.
“One of the biggest things is to plan ahead,” said Barkyoumb. “Honestly, that’s one of the biggest reasons why I created the What’s for Dinner Club. It’s to give families really healthy, easy dinner recipes so they have their plan for the week
and they know what they’re going to eat. I feel like when you have a plan, it’s so much easier to make healthy choices.”
