Brighten my day 💛☀️
Now I am in NZ and we are 4 days away from the winter! It sure is cold and today especially super grey day! I love the sunshine but I can only dream of it today. Yellow is sunshine, energy, positivity, nourishment, warmth, vitality. Yellow is uplifting and I miss the sunshine on days like today!
The day is almost over, I am cooking my dinner but when I reflect back, I think of so many occasions throughout the day when I nourished myself with yellow (without even realizing it earlier!)
Yellow breakfast
I had pineapple, cucumber and soaked chia drink to start my day. Pineapple supports digestion thanks to bromelain enzymes and provides vitamin C for immune health. Together this is hydrating, anti-inflammatory, and digestion-friendly drink, great for gut health, natural cleansing, and of course chia seeds are great source of fiber and also help to stabilize blood sugar levels.
Took my dog for early morning walk, then had eggs with tofu and bit of turmeric for breakfast. I love to add little bit of tofu for extra protein, and together this is nourishing, protein-rich breakfast that supports energy, muscle health, hormones, and keeps you full for longer. It is great anti-inflammatory support for the whole body (remember to add that pinch of black pepper to help absorption of curcumin from turmeric).
Yellow lunch
I had little bit of roasted pumpkin (leftover) so I made a lunch bowl - no recipe, but what the fridge gave :-) Bowl with roasted pumpkin, corn, quinoa, yellow capsicum, avocado, drizzled with olive oil and coconut aminos.
Pumpkin is rich in beta-carotene (vitamin A precursor) supporting immune health, skin, and eye health.
Yellow capsicum (bell pepper) is loaded with vitamin C and antioxidants that support immunity and reduce oxidative stress. Corn provides fiber and slow-release carbohydrates for energy and digestion.
Yellow dinner
Just finished and since i am thinking about this post - here is the pic.
Ricotta and walnut filled pasta, by our local vendor (made fresh!), with sauteed spinach, yellow pepper, red onion and few capers to balance the taste. Red onion contains antioxidants and natural plant compounds that support heart health, immune function, and help nourish beneficial gut bacteria. And we all know that spinach is rich in iron, folate, magnesium, and fiber to support energy, nervous system function, digestion, and overall wellbeing.
I always say, nourishment doesn’t need to be complicated. Colorful plate can support not only physical health, but also mood, energy, and joy. And today, my foods were the sunshine, the vitality, the nourishment and positive energy.
What nourishes you? What is your go-to on those grey days?
