Yup. It is what it looks like. I am using an #applecider #icepop as both my ice and a mild sweetener in my #seltzer. Adds a little something to the water without overloading it with sugar. #Yummy!!! Happy Friday :) #bushwick #bushwicknutrition #lazynutrition #lazynutritionist #lowsugar #lowcalorie
There are certain things (foods, activities, etc) that just make you feel #healthy like sweating or eating dark leafy greens. Drinking #kombucha has that instant effect on me. I do have to say it’s an acquired (slightly tangy) taste and expensive (unfortunately) at $4 a 16oz bottle (hence why I only indulge once or twice a week). This #fermented #tea has both #bacteria and #yeast and is naturally #lowsugar. It’s great for #digestion, has #immuneboosting properties, helps increase #energy, and some animal studies suggest it has #preventive and #curative effects on a number of #metabolic diseases (too early to confirm). My favorite is #blackchia from @gtskombucha.
FYI: You can totally make your own, and they say it’s relatively easy. Haven’t tried yet… maybe when Theo is a little older ;)

Food shopping is confusing as hell and choosing a healthy #granolabar is no exception. I like @KINDSnacks- partly because I recognize all the ingredients, but also, because most (not all) bars are pretty low in sugar. This one is only 6 grams of sugar with 2.5 grams of fiber. Perfect for a small snack or pre-workout burst of energy. #healthysnacks #lowsugar #highfiber #bushwick #bushwicknutrition
Homemade #Gruesli! I made up the word myself (I think ;). It’s a mix between #granola and #muesli ;). Doesn’t sound so lazy, right? Wrong! This recipe is super easy. Cooking time: ~25-30min. 1)Mix the following in a large bowl: -2 tbsp of olive oil (or coconut) -2 tbsp agave syrup (or maple) -1 tsp vanilla extract -1 tbsp chia seeds (or flax, or hemp) -a pinch of salt -a pinch of cinnamon (or nutmeg) 2)Add 1 cup of rolled oats, slowly coating it with the mix 3)Add ¼ cup of nuts (walnuts, pecans, or almonds are my favorite) 4)Spread on a pan and bake at 300F for 8 mins. Stir and bake for another 8 mins or until golden brown. 5)Last but not least, add ¼ cup of dried fruit (raisins, apricots, cranberries, ginger, etc) Serving size: ¼ cup Servings: ~6-7 #granola #homemade #lowsugar #highfiber #muesli #gruesli #bushwick #bushwicknutrition
