Here’s to a Happy and Healthy New Year!

Happy New Year guys!

If you’ve set some New Years resolutions to be healthier, you are in luck, because today I am sharing my Top 5 Healthy Meal Prep recipes!

These recipes are ones that are quick and easy to make, as well as being totally delicious and healthy.

And to celebrate the upcoming launch of my new digital course, 30 Minute Meal Prep, I am sharing one of the recipes that I actually cook for the exclusive “Meal Prep with Me” cooking video in my course. That recipe is the Green Curry Chicken recipe.

My family absolutely loves this recipe and it couldn’t be simpler to whip up. The green curry is not set-your-tongue-on-fire spicy, but it is very flavorful, which the kids and the hubby can’t get enough of. Leftovers reheat very well and the curry can be eaten with or without rice.

I love meal prep like this – quick, easy and delicious! No overwhelm, no stress but lots of healthy and tasty food for several meals. I’ve meal prepped for many years as my family has grown and changed, and I have discovered a simple 4 Step Plan to meal prep in only 30 minutes. If you want to learn how I do this, please keep an eye out for more info about the 30 Minute Meal Prep Course, coming out very soon!!!

Ok, let’s get to these yummy and nourishing recipes!

Thank You

This month marks 2 years since I started Nourish with Renata! I am so thankful for all of your support and kindness over the last two years. My mission with this blog was to share the idea that healthy food can and should be delicious! We shouldn’t have to feel guilty about having cookies or cake, because there are healthy and delicious alternatives out there!

This is especially important during the holiday season, when there are so many decadent indulgences around.

In my family, there are people that have diabetes and high blood pressure or cholesterol. But I still want them to be able to enjoy their fave holiday foods, with a healthy twist, so that they don’t have to feel like they are missing out or feel even worse because the foods have aggravated their conditions.

This is really why this e-book is so important to me. I want to share some delicious and healthy treats with you, so that you and your loved ones can still enjoy your fave foods!

I hope that you will share this blog post or social media post with others. Someone out there might really be struggling to try to find things they can eat this holiday season. And you could be the one to help them.

Enjoy your time with your families and friends next week!

Have a safe and blessed Thanksgiving y’all!

3 Tips You’ve Probably Never Heard of Before to Help You Drink More Water

Leave a Comment

Are you drinking enough water?

You’ve probably heard it a thousand times but are you drinking enough water? Do you feel thirsty right now?

Dehydration is a common issue amongst people, especially during these hot summer months. It is also one of the easiest problems to fix and can have a massive effect on how you feel.

As a Nutrition Coach with Mod3rn Fitness, we ask every single client this question, “How much water do you drink every day?”

Most people are not drinking enough water. They are drinking plenty of coffee, tea and soda, but they are not being conscious of how much water they are drinking and how much they really need to stay hydrated.

How much water do you need to drink?

As a general rule of thumb, I like to recommend our clients drink at least half their body weight in ounces of water every day. So, for example, if you weigh 200 lbs, try drinking about 100 oz of water daily.

Now if you are very physically active or sweating a lot during the day, then you will likely need to increase this amount to stay hydrated.

Why is drinking water so important?

The brain is made up of approx 80% water. Pretty amazing right?! What is also interesting is that if the brain notices a decrease in water by as little as 1%, then you will start to experience a decline in mental cognition, things like memory loss, lack of focus and a declining mood.

Not only that, we need to be drinking enough water to ensure that wastes are adequately removed from our body and that our cells are functioning properly.
