]]> If you want to get the most from your workout, you want to make sure you eating the correct foods before you start. You need to fuel up your body and give it the energy it needs to get through the workout you have planned.

If you are going to work out in the morning a small snack to give you energy is recommended, but if you have time to enjoy a full meal at least two hours before then that is generally much better. Here are the best foods for you to eat before your workout to give you the results you want to see.

Bananas

Bananas are filled with carbohydrates and potassium and support nerve and muscle function, they fuel both the body and the brain and will keep you energized throughout your strength training.

Oats

Oats are packed with fiber and are slow-releasing carbs, which means your energy levels are consistent throughout your workout, so you can train for longer. Oats also contain Vitamin B, which converts carbohydrates into energy. Add some nut butter and seeds and you will be satiated, satisfied, and ready to work out.

Apples with Peanut Butter

Sliced apples dipped in peanut butter are a great pre-workout snack, you get the carbs from the apple and the protein and fat from the peanut butter, and it will give you the energy you need.

Chicken with Rice and Vegetables

If you have a couple of hours before you work out, eating a properly balanced meal is the best thing to eat before you get started. Chicken with rice and vegetables has all the components you need before a workout.

]]> Food is like medicine—it’s necessary to maintain your physical body, your brain and your mood. Eating naturally good foods can work wonders for your energy levels, keeping you satisfied and satiated. Here are four superfoods to eat to boost your mood.

Red Bell Pepper

We bet you didn’t know that red bell peppers actually have more Vitamin C than an orange. They are the most nutritious of all bell peppers, they are low calorie and contain other vitamins and minerals to improve your mood.

Nut Butter

It doesn’t matter if you prefer cashew butter over peanut butter—all nut butters are energy-boosting and filled with protein and healthy fats. Adding nut butter to a smoothie, a piece of toast or just eating it straight from the jar can fill you up and stop you from indulging in less nutritious foods.

Salmon

Salmon is a well-known brain food. It has high numbers of omega-3 fatty acids and helps to maintain the central nervous system. It is also a great source of protein and may reduce the risk of heart disease.

Figs

Figs are a superfood that can actually help to aid your sleep and help your mood. They are filled with potassium, magnesium, calcium, and iron which help with blood flow and muscle relaxation to help you fall asleep.

Green Smoothie

This smoothie can be changed up every day, depending on what greens you have in your refrigerator. One day you can add spinach and the next day kale. Mix in some greek yogurt, bananas, pineapple, apple, celery, and some chia seeds and you have yourself a filling and nutritious smoothie.

Golden Milk Tropical Turmeric Smoothie

This is a sweet tropical smoothie with tons of pineapple, mango, banana, turmeric, and whatever else you want to add. The color is so pretty and it will keep you satisfied until lunch.

Peanut Butter and Banana Protein Smoothie

There is nothing better than the combination of peanut butter and bananas, and with the addition of protein powder, this smoothie tastes like a thick milkshake. All you need is frozen bananas, peanut butter, milk of choice, oats, and protein and you have yourself a very energizing breakfast.

]]> Most people are not getting the recommended amount of sleep, whether that is due to stress, children or just staying up too late and scrolling on your phone. When you don’t get enough sleep, this can affect your mental sharpness, mood, productivity and food choices the next day. Melatonin has been the most popular natural sleep aid, but magnesium is also a really good supplement to take before bed.

How does it help?

Magnesium is a mineral that can help control blood glucose, blood pressure regulation, muscle and nerve function, and so much more. It also plays an important role in converting protein into the chemicals that helps you to slow the nervous system down and help you to feel sleepier.

Melatonin is a known supplement to help relax your muscles, so for those who suffer with restless leg syndrome, or you have tightness from your workouts, magnesium is better in helping to alleviate that.

Where can you find it?

You don’t necessarily need to take a supplement as magnesium can be found in a lot of foods in your diet. If you aren’t eating a balanced diet, you might want to have a blood test to check if you are deficient. Magnesium can be found in almonds, spinach, peanut butter, avocado, bananas and lots of dairy products.

]]> Do you love peanut butter? If you can’t get enough of it, powdered peanut butter is a great option as it has less fat and calories than traditional peanut butter. Just add water to turn powdered peanut butter into a spread that looks and tastes like regular PB. There are tons of uses for it in your kitchen and here are our five favorites.

PB&J

Make a classic PB&J with powdered peanut butter. Mix two tablespoons of the powder with a small amount of water and increase the water until you get your desired consistency. Then just add jelly and spread them onto bread.

Smoothie or Milkshake

Add the powder to your blender to get peanut butter flavor in your smoothie or milkshake. For extra protein, add chocolate or vanilla protein powder to the mix.

Popsicles

Give popsicles a peanut butter twist by mixing half a cup of powdered PB with two cups of frozen bananas, and one cup of yogurt. Blend everything together and divide it into popsicle molds and freeze.

Oatmeal

Take your oatmeal to the next level by adding powdered peanut butter and chocolate chips. It will taste like a dessert.

Baked Goods

Powdered peanut butter is amazing in baked goods and you can add the powder to dry ingredients in recipes. It mixes easier than regular peanut butter.

]]> Do you remember when we only had peanut butter as an option for a nut butter? Nowadays, we have so many other options, which can get confusing at times. Which is the best nut butter to put on a piece of fruit and which has the most protein and health benefits? Nut butters are filled with healthy fats, protein, and fiber as well as many vitamins and minerals so they support weight loss. Here are the healthiest nut butters for you to try.

Almond Butter

Almond butter is highest in healthy fats and it’s slightly higher in nutrients than peanut butter. It tastes delicious with apples and with the combination of protein, fiber, and healthy fats, it makes a great after-workout snack.

Peanut Butter

Peanut butter is higher in protein than almond butter. It also contains iron and folate to help to prevent anemia, potassium for your muscles, and magnesium for your bones. It can help decrease your risk of heart disease and diabetes.

Pistachio Butter

This is one of the newest nut butters out on the market. It’s also high in protein and Vitamin B, which can help turn calories into energy. It’s delicious and it can be eaten alone or on some crackers.

Pistachio nut butters from @nutliteindia are a unique treat for sure ! Pistachios are super rich in zeaxanthin and lutein which make them the eye-friendliest 👀👁 of snack nuts ! They also pack in significant amounts of vitamin E. The mono and polyunsaturated fats in pistachios also help boost the absorption of carotenoids. And to top it all…. they hit the sleep-inducing jackpot, packing in protein, vitamin B6, and magnesium, all of which contribute to better sleep ! Enjoy all of these benefits in a butter form ! 2 variants : 1. Pistachio raisin butter : 150g for Rs.690/- 2. Pistachio vanilla butter : 150g for Rs.690/- Brand : @nutliteindia Read full review on Luke's holistic health store page on Facebook. Buy link in BIO ☝

Tahini

Tahini is more of a spread than a butter—it’s made from sesame seeds and it’s becoming a very popular and healthy choice. It’s a good source of Vitamin E and it contains lots of copper, which makes your red blood cells. It can be used on salads as a dressing and it goes really well with most foods.

]]> Vegan foods are becoming very trendy at this moment. Most restaurants are trying to figure out ways to serve something plant based on their menu. If you’re considering going vegan and worrying about your protein intake, there are so many plant-based proteins sources you can choose from. Even Burger King has gotten in on the act by serving plant-based burgers.

How much protein you need depends on your weight and activity level, but it’s possible to reach these needs on a vegan diet. You need to make sure you incorporate a lot of whole plant foods into your meals. Plant-based proteins are incomplete proteins, meaning they don’t contain high levels of all nine of the essential amino acids that we need to get from our diets. So in order to reach your recommended daily amount you should eat lots of fruit and vegetables, whole grains, legumes, nuts, and seeds.

Peanuts

One ounce contains 7g of protein. They are high in fat, so be aware of this when eating lots of natural peanut butter, but they are a great protein source.

Tofu

Three ounces contains 15g of protein. Tofu contains essential amino acids, carbohydrates and fat and is a fabulous meat alternative in all dishes.

Hello weekend, I missed you. Hello noodles, I missed you too. 👀 Finished my last session for the day and found myself making ramen noodles with all the veggies and tofu. 🍜 . I just cooked a set of @lotusfoods rice ramen. Didn’t use a seasoning packet, just added a splash of soy sauce after it finished cooking. Baked some tofu and then added it to some sautéed mushrooms and broccoli that I tossed with soy sauce, maple syrup, garlic powder and sesame seeds. Topped this over the noodles and it was so good even if it was super simple. Enjoyed with some avocado and now I’m satisfied. 😌 . Garlic Chili Tofu 1 block extra firm tofu drained and pressed for at least an hour 2 tbsp tamari 1 tbsp nutritional yeast 2 tsp chili garlic sauce . Set oven to 400F. After pressing tofu, cut tofu into even cubes and place in a bowl or Tupperware container. Add remaining ingredients, and if using a bowl just gently toss together. If using a tupperware container, seal container and gently shake contents to evenly coat tofu. Remove tofu and place on a lined baking sheet making sure tofu cubes aren’t touching. Place in oven for at least 25 minutes or until edges have browned. Remove from oven and serve as desired.

Quinoa

One cup contains 8g of protein. Quinoa contains all nine essential amino acids. It’s packed with fiber, magnesium, iron, potassium, and so much more. Swap out your rice for this tasty grain and add lots of veggies.

Kidney Beans

One cup contains 14g of Protein. Make a fabulous vegan chili with kidney beans—you wont even miss the meat. Filled with protein, these beans also reduce cholesterol and lower blood sugar levels.

]]> We love nut butter, but we’re also trying to stick to our nutrition goals. In general, nut butters are healthy because they contain unsaturated fats, specifically polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fatty acids. So what’s the difference between peanut butter and almond butter?

https://www.instagram.com/p/B6fpo9lFqat/

The two contain different types of fats, peanut butter had more polyunsaturated fat and almond butter has more monounsaturated fat. While they both are good for you, monounsaturated fats support healthy cholesterol and they are high in Vitamin E, magnesium, iron, calcium, and riboflavin. Peanut butter doesn’t contain as high of the amounts of these vitamins and minerals as almond butter, but it’s still a great source of healthy fats and it happens to be much cheaper.

So, when should you use almond butter and when should you use peanut butter? Peanut butter works well in baked goods because it’s more cost-effective. Besides for that, it really depends on which butter you prefer the taste of. Almond butter works great in smoothies and both butters are amazing on toast, fruit, oatmeal, and yogurts.

]]> Usually, peanut butter isn’t commonly known as a health food staple. Luckily, there’s an alternative peanut butter option you can try that works as well as your regular Skippy peanut butter – but without the added sugar.

Peanut powder is here to the rescue with barely any sugar. So now you can enjoy your PB&J sandwiches, guiltlessly. 2 tablespoons of natural peanut butter can contain up to 190 calories. While powdered peanut butter, on the other hand, can contain just under 50 calories for the same amount. If your diet is usually calorie-restrictive, consider having a peanut powder option on hand.

Fewer Calories

Since peanut powder usually strips off some of the natural oils found in peanuts, it contains fewer calories. Usually, typical peanut butter brands can contain vegetable fats which can cause you to bloat, that’s why peanut powder comes is a better option for keeping your waistline at bay.

Sprinkle it on Dishes

Since peanut powder isn’t typically sweet, you can also sprinkle it on your breakfast oatmeal or even on popcorn for added protein! You can also use peanut powder for making Indian curries to add a nutty flavor, while it also makes for a great peanut butter base for a healthy pad thai recipe.

If you aren’t eating a balanced diet, you might want to have a blood test to check if you are deficient. Magnesium can be found in almonds, spinach, peanut butter, avocado, bananas and lots of dairy products.

]]> Do you love peanut butter? If you can’t get enough of it, powdered peanut butter is a great option as it has less fat and calories than traditional peanut butter. Just add water to turn powdered peanut butter into a spread that looks and tastes like regular PB. There are tons of uses for it in your kitchen and here are our five favorites.

PB&J

Make a classic PB&J with powdered peanut butter. Mix two tablespoons of the powder with a small amount of water and increase the water until you get your desired consistency. Then just add jelly and spread them onto bread.

Smoothie or Milkshake

Add the powder to your blender to get peanut butter flavor in your smoothie or milkshake. For extra protein, add chocolate or vanilla protein powder to the mix.

Popsicles

Give popsicles a peanut butter twist by mixing half a cup of powdered PB with two cups of frozen bananas, and one cup of yogurt. Blend everything together and divide it into popsicle molds and freeze.

Oatmeal

Take your oatmeal to the next level by adding powdered peanut butter and chocolate chips. It will taste like a dessert.

Baked Goods

Powdered peanut butter is amazing in baked goods and you can add the powder to dry ingredients in recipes. It mixes easier than regular peanut butter.

]]> Do you remember when we only had peanut butter as an option for a nut butter? Nowadays, we have so many other options, which can get confusing at times. Which is the best nut butter to put on a piece of fruit and which has the most protein and health benefits? Nut butters are filled with healthy fats, protein, and fiber as well as many vitamins and minerals so they support weight loss. Here are the healthiest nut butters for you to try.

Almond Butter

Almond butter is highest in healthy fats and it’s slightly higher in nutrients than peanut butter. It tastes delicious with apples and with the combination of protein, fiber, and healthy fats, it makes a great after-workout snack.

Peanut Butter

Peanut butter is higher in protein than almond butter. It also contains iron and folate to help to prevent anemia, potassium for your muscles, and magnesium for your bones. It can help decrease your risk of heart disease and diabetes.

Pistachio Butter

This is one of the newest nut butters out on the market. It’s also high in protein and Vitamin B, which can help turn calories into energy. It’s delicious and it can be eaten alone or on some crackers.

Pistachio nut butters from @nutliteindia are a unique treat for sure ! Pistachios are super rich in zeaxanthin and lutein which make them the eye-friendliest 👀👁 of snack nuts ! They also pack in significant amounts of vitamin E. The mono and polyunsaturated fats in pistachios also help boost the absorption of carotenoids. And to top it all…. they hit the sleep-inducing jackpot, packing in protein, vitamin B6, and magnesium, all of which contribute to better sleep ! Enjoy all of these benefits in a butter form ! 2 variants : 1. Pistachio raisin butter : 150g for Rs.690/- 2. Pistachio vanilla butter : 150g for Rs.690/- Brand : @nutliteindia Read full review on Luke's holistic health store page on Facebook. Buy link in BIO ☝

Tahini

Tahini is more of a spread than a butter—it’s made from sesame seeds and it’s becoming a very popular and healthy choice. It’s a good source of Vitamin E and it contains lots of copper, which makes your red blood cells. It can be used on salads as a dressing and it goes really well with most foods.

]]> Vegan foods are becoming very trendy at this moment. Most restaurants are trying to figure out ways to serve something plant based on their menu. If you’re considering going vegan and worrying about your protein intake, there are so many plant-based proteins sources you can choose from. Even Burger King has gotten in on the act by serving plant-based burgers.

How much protein you need depends on your weight and activity level, but it’s possible to reach these needs on a vegan diet. You need to make sure you incorporate a lot of whole plant foods into your meals. Plant-based proteins are incomplete proteins, meaning they don’t contain high levels of all nine of the essential amino acids that we need to get from our diets. So in order to reach your recommended daily amount you should eat lots of fruit and vegetables, whole grains, legumes, nuts, and seeds.

Peanuts

One ounce contains 7g of protein. They are high in fat, so be aware of this when eating lots of natural peanut butter, but they are a great protein source.

Tofu

Three ounces contains 15g of protein. Tofu contains essential amino acids, carbohydrates and fat and is a fabulous meat alternative in all dishes.

Hello weekend, I missed you. Hello noodles, I missed you too. 👀 Finished my last session for the day and found myself making ramen noodles with all the veggies and tofu. 🍜 . I just cooked a set of @lotusfoods rice ramen. Didn’t use a seasoning packet, just added a splash of soy sauce after it finished cooking. Baked some tofu and then added it to some sautéed mushrooms and broccoli that I tossed with soy sauce, maple syrup, garlic powder and sesame seeds. Topped this over the noodles and it was so good even if it was super simple. Enjoyed with some avocado and now I’m satisfied. 😌 . Garlic Chili Tofu 1 block extra firm tofu drained and pressed for at least an hour 2 tbsp tamari 1 tbsp nutritional yeast 2 tsp chili garlic sauce . Set oven to 400F. After pressing tofu, cut tofu into even cubes and place in a bowl or Tupperware container. Add remaining ingredients, and if using a bowl just gently toss together. If using a tupperware container, seal container and gently shake contents to evenly coat tofu. Remove tofu and place on a lined baking sheet making sure tofu cubes aren’t touching. Place in oven for at least 25 minutes or until edges have browned. Remove from oven and serve as desired.

Quinoa

One cup contains 8g of protein. Quinoa contains all nine essential amino acids. It’s packed with fiber, magnesium, iron, potassium, and so much more. Swap out your rice for this tasty grain and add lots of veggies.

Kidney Beans

One cup contains 14g of Protein. Make a fabulous vegan chili with kidney beans—you wont even miss the meat. Filled with protein, these beans also reduce cholesterol and lower blood sugar levels.

]]> We love nut butter, but we’re also trying to stick to our nutrition goals. In general, nut butters are healthy because they contain unsaturated fats, specifically polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fatty acids. So what’s the difference between peanut butter and almond butter?

https://www.instagram.com/p/B6fpo9lFqat/

The two contain different types of fats, peanut butter had more polyunsaturated fat and almond butter has more monounsaturated fat. While they both are good for you, monounsaturated fats support healthy cholesterol and they are high in Vitamin E, magnesium, iron, calcium, and riboflavin. Peanut butter doesn’t contain as high of the amounts of these vitamins and minerals as almond butter, but it’s still a great source of healthy fats and it happens to be much cheaper.

So, when should you use almond butter and when should you use peanut butter? Peanut butter works well in baked goods because it’s more cost-effective. Besides for that, it really depends on which butter you prefer the taste of. Almond butter works great in smoothies and both butters are amazing on toast, fruit, oatmeal, and yogurts.

]]> Usually, peanut butter isn’t commonly known as a health food staple. Luckily, there’s an alternative peanut butter option you can try that works as well as your regular Skippy peanut butter – but without the added sugar.

Peanut powder is here to the rescue with barely any sugar. So now you can enjoy your PB&J sandwiches, guiltlessly. 2 tablespoons of natural peanut butter can contain up to 190 calories. While powdered peanut butter, on the other hand, can contain just under 50 calories for the same amount. If your diet is usually calorie-restrictive, consider having a peanut powder option on hand.

Fewer Calories

Since peanut powder usually strips off some of the natural oils found in peanuts, it contains fewer calories. Usually, typical peanut butter brands can contain vegetable fats which can cause you to bloat, that’s why peanut powder comes is a better option for keeping your waistline at bay.

Sprinkle it on Dishes

Since peanut powder isn’t typically sweet, you can also sprinkle it on your breakfast oatmeal or even on popcorn for added protein! You can also use peanut powder for making Indian curries to add a nutty flavor, while it also makes for a great peanut butter base for a healthy pad thai recipe.
