Nutrition

Yesterday I met with my friend Susie for a Nutrition Consultation. We talked about my diet, my cravings for sweets and caffeine, and ways to make sure that I get the nutrients that I need. After I explained my cravings, she said she thinks that my body is asking for Calcium when I want sweets. She suggested that I eat more greens and sesame seeds or tahini. She taught me how to make sesame seed milk, and also gave me recipes for smoothies. The smoothie recipes involve mixing greens with fruits and water or juice in a blender. I often have a smoothie for breakfast, and thismorning I added spinach to it, which didn't alter the taste much for me, but made me feel more balanced. Less of a sugar high. Putting spinach in my smoothies is a good tip for me.
