Nutritiously Delicious Rice Bowls 🍚⠀ ⠀ If you have followed me for a while you probably know 2 things about me:⠀ ⠀ 1. I love pizza, I am constantly getting tagged in pizza 🍕 memes 😂⠀ ⠀ 2. White rice is life. And quite frankly brown rice just doesn’t cut it for me. And don’t get me started on cauliflower rice 🤦🏽‍♀️⠀ ⠀ One of my fav meals happens to be rice bowls. They are SO delicious and super quick to make. And I, for one love mixing my food. I know it might sound weird to some people but it’s all going to the same place any way right?! 🤷🏽‍♀️🤣 ⠀ ⠀ I love being able to combine all different flavors into one bowl and enjoy it. ⠀ ⠀ So, @laurenleavellfitness & spent all weekend getting together some delicious rice bowls for you. If ya wanna download it, just head on over to my bio link. And tag us when you make them! ⠀ ⠀ What’s your favorite rice bowl? Did yours make our list? ⠀
4 years ago I graduated with a Masters in Nutrition Education! Meaning I spent countless hours learning how to counsel patients and how to educate them on behavioral change. ⠀ ⠀ Prior to this I graduated with a bachelors degree in nutritional sciences. Yup SCIENCE 🧫 🧪 🧬 where I learned how our bodies breakdown food from the min it touches your toungue to the minute you evacuate it in your 💩. ⠀ ⠀ And then I took a year of unpaid schooling which meant 1200 hours of supervised practice where I learned to tube feed and save yo life. ⠀ Tag someone who’s put in the work in their profession!
Do I need to say more? Oprah has tried every diet you can think of and she constantly yo-yoing. ⠀ ⠀ Diet culture wants to suck you in with líes and promises, only to let you down. ⠀ ⠀ Bottom line. THERE IS NO MAGIC PILL. Diet culture is a lie. ⠀ ⠀ Your body is perfect. You are perfect.
I can haha & jaja 😆 ⠀ ⠀ Being able to speak Spanish is one of the main reasons I became a dietitian. When I took nutrition 101 ( you know that time I was trying to get out of gym class 🤣) I immediately fell in love with the science behind nutrition. And I realized two things:⠀ ⠀ 1. I had never seen or heard of a dietitian, let alone one that spoke Spanish or was of color. ⠀ ⠀ 2. The wellness and nutrition world did not have much diversity. ⠀ ⠀ So I set out to change that. I wanted to be able to educate Hispanics in their own language. I wanted to bond over arroz con pollo. And plátanos, yuca and malanga 😋 I wanted them to feel heard. Actually I am one of the ONLY Spanish speaking RDs in Philadelphia. A city full of Hispanics! ⠀ ⠀ I am so proud my parents spoke to me in Spanish. And I’m even prouder to be the mother for two bilingual kiddos. Because to be honest everything sounds cuter in Spanish 😂 jaja. ⠀ ⠀ fun fact; I was almost trilingual for a hot second I knew Italian lol but I’ve lost it since I don’t practice it! ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ Do you speak another language?! If you don’t, what’s a language you’d like to learn?!
