Creamy, high in potassium and fiber, easily digetible carbohydrate,  comes in it’s own carrying case

Buy a bunch of ripened bananas. Look in your grocery for ripened bananas as they are usually on sale for a lot less per pound.

Peel them and freeze them in a freezer bag or container. You can pull them apart as needed.

Nutrient Rich snacking is that much simpler, quicker and easier with a banana. Here are a few simple things you can do.

• Eat them plain; they are easy to carry around as they come in thier own container.
• Eat them frozen for an icy, creamy treat.
• Roll them in Dr. Fuhrman cocoa powder and chopped nuts and freeze for a delectable dessert treat.
• Throw them in your shake instead of ice for a thick and creamy consistency.

I was in the nail salon the other day, and the food channel was on the TV screen. You simply can’t get away from it even if you try. Two other women were watching intently while Jada whipped up her Italian magic. As I was eavesdropping on the conversation, (what else could I do in such a small space?),  one woman says to the other…”Oh my, what a simple idea, I never thought of doing that”. I started to judge this comment, thinking to myself, how in the world could they not have known such a simple concept. Jada took some left over bread and put it in her blender and made bread crumbs. These 2 women where literally blown away by the idea of how great that would be when they were in the kitchen and out of the store bought stuff.

Not that I am bragging, but I have always made my own breadcrumbs, because the ingredients added in the store bought kind have no business in my body.

I simply take some Ezekiel (sprouted grain bread) bread, tear it up and put it in the blender and “instant nutrient rich” breadcrumbs emerge. I just assumed everyone did this. I guess I was wrong about that.

Sometimes when things are so obvious and simple to us, they simply get discarded as unimportant or don’t register in our minds as something we could do.

For me, it seems like, the more ingredients in a recipe, the less I want to cook it. The more choices when shopping, the less I want to buy. The more choices on a buffet, the more confused I get, and the less I want to eat.

What if you could keep it simple and really nail this “Nutrient Rich Eating” way of eating?

I am going to help you out with this.

Everyday I am going to post a SIMPLE TIP. If you take these simple tips, you can put the basic concepts together and form a mountain of knowledge that will change the way you eat for the better forever.

Can I state it anymore simply that that?

Coming up in the next post…KEEP IT SIMPLE TIP #1 – Beets

They “give in” for good reasons and are forced to endure the holidays, starting with Thanksgiving and eventually start the New Year with yet another resolution to eat better, or go on a diet and deal with the uncomfortable reality of cleaning their body from all that junk.

There is Good news!

It doesn’t have to be that way.

The holidays don’t have to be synonymous with refined sugar, saturated fat and excess calories, especially now, when you can enjoy Nutrient Rich Holidays! Yes, Nutrient Rich Holidays filled with great tasting foods that are rich in the nutrients you and your family need to be both happy and healthy!

You do not have to give up your favorite foods to maintain a healthy diet during the holidays; what you want to do is eat Nutrient Rich versions of the foods you love!

There is a “nutrient rich” version of just about every food you are eating right now if you know how to shop, prepare, organize and eat out and eat  over the holidays.

Just this week, I was craving something chocolaty and I was surprised when I got an email from my friend by Rosie Battista, Healthy Living Coach, www.amatteroffit.com, which said said “go to your front door, there is a surprise”.

What I found to my delite was a bag, with a box of fudge brownies in it!

Now, as you can imagine, I don’t want to eat just any brownie, I want to eat a Nutrient Rich brownie when I’m going to eat brownies.

This fudge (It’s actually food that’s nutrient rich) was made and shared with LOVE .

• 1 cup coconut oil
• 1 cup coconut butter
• 5 tbs raw cacao*
• 5 tbs agave nectar
• 2 tbs revitaphi*
• 2 tbs maca*
• 2 tbs cacao nibs*
• 3 tbsp hemp seeds
• 2 tbs goji berries*
• ½ tbs cordyceps*

Warm up oil and butter. Add all ingredients to a large bowl, mix until fluffy and creamy

(I use a vitamix blender and just throw everything in together and pour into a cake pan) It’s as simple as mix and pour!  (Put in freezer for 3-5 minutes and cut the fudge into bite size pieces.  Store in freezer container.

***ENJOY and try not to eat it all in one sitting!!!!

Technically we’re overeating most of the time when we eat nutrient rich foods every day, so have no illusion you’ll likely do so on Thanksgiving. – Enjoy it!

More and more people are starting to eat a Nutrient Rich diet; nutrient rich foods for better health, peak performance and natural weight loss that are now more accessible.

Even the government has gotten on board with the new healthy trend in eating. The Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee, which puts out a new report roughly every 5 years, put out their last report in 2005, which indicated that most Americans consume too many foods that are high in calories but low in nutrients. To address this concern, the new Guidelines reinforced a long-standing and widely accepted cornerstone of nutrition – nutrient density, or enjoying more foods that are naturally rich in nutrients first.

What’s not understood, are the influences underlying these albeit new, dramatically improved and refreshing nutritional guidelines.

Nearly 4 years after the Jan 2005 release of the Dietary Guidelines, and in the early stages of this revolutionary consumer shift from nutrient poor to Nutrient Rich foods, companies are clamoring to label their diets and foods “Nutrient Rich.” Yet, without established standards around nutrient density or what is actually defined a “nutrient rich food”, it is difficult for the average consumer to determine if foods sold and marketed are really Nutrient Rich, let alone healthy. Meats, dairy and animal products are the foods in question.

The Naturally Nutrient Rich Food Coalition funded in large part by the beef board and dairy council, with University of Washington researcher Adam Drewnowski are working to establish a NNR (Naturally Nutrient Rich) score to label their foods as “Nutrient Rich”. NutrientRich.com applauds this effort.

It just so happens though, that meats, dairy and other animal products are the categories of foods that NutrientRich.com has declared nutrient poor – “rich in some nutrients but as whole food, “nutrient poor”.

According to the Food Class System™, animal products are second class foods that are in many ways disease-promoting when eaten in significant quantities, according to widely accepted nutritional research.

In Nutrient Rich Coalition studies, only a limited number of “nutrients” Fiber, vitamins, A, C, E Ca, K, Zn Folate, vitamin D, B 12 are referred to in determining if you are eating “nutrient rich”, even though up to 23 – 26 nutrient were used in their initial studies. John Allen Mollenhauer, founder of www.nutrientrich.com speculates that this is due to the nutrient limitations of dairy and animal products.

No doubt animal products are rich in some nutrients but as a whole food they are missing whole categories or nutrients and are very low in others, plus they include substances which the body does not need.

Two questions on consumers’ minds are:

1.    How do you determine if a food is Nutrient Rich?
2.    How do you lose weight and stay healthy eating Nutrient Rich foods?

One company committed to establishing a sound definition for a Nutrient Rich Food is NutrientRich.com, which established its Food Class System™ influenced greatly by Joel Fuhrman MD who eventually created the ANDI (Aggregate Nutrient Density Index).

Backed also by the findings of the most comprehensive study of nutrition ever conducted (The China Study, BenBella Books, 2005) and a world class lifestyle health and science advisory team; NutrientRich.com was the first to establish the 3 Classes of Foods with a basic Nutrient Density Chart and Nutrient Profile Scores representing 24 vitamins and minerals, plus Flavanoids (where there is substantial research) and subtracting those nutrients known outright to promote disease from an overall ranking.

NutrientRich.com, now a leading promoter of the research, findings and products created by Dr Fuhrman, asserts that you can still eat small amounts of nutrient poor foods and still be eating a Nutrient Rich diet, on a total dietary intake basis, but that the basis of any diet should be predominantly (90% or more) Nutrient Rich foods to eat for health, first and foremost.
