If you LOVE guacamole (let’s be real - who doesn’t?!) but want to keep the fat content of your meals low (super important for people living with diabetes), then pea guacamole is your answer !
.
Next time you make guac, swap out 50-100% of the avocado for green peas, and use all of the same other ingredients like cilantro, onion, lime, etc. This tastes so good as a dip for baked potato chips, vegetable crudite, or homemade oil-free tortilla chips.
.
Try it out and let us know what you think!

last month i shared a little about my “day job” which is working with patients with kidney disease, before and after having a transplant. people with this condition are typically told to follow a very restrictive diet, which can feel impossible at times. // this entirely plant based pesto pasta recipe was developed using FLAVIS fusilli pasta, a medical food made specifically for people with chronic kidney disease. this recipe complies with the nutritional recommendations for this patient population while also being healthy and tasting great. recipe on the blog! link in profile. #flavis #ad #chronickidneydisease
⛩Have you heard of the Blue Zones? These are areas of the world where it’s common to live to be 100 years old (and not be confined to a nursing home).
.
The 5 Blue Zones that have been verified by birth and death certificates, as well as researchers visiting these areas to speak with the centenarians and see how they live.
.
These areas are: Sardinia, Italy; Okinawa, Japan; Loma Linda, California; the Nicoya Peninsula of Costa Rica, and Ikaria, Greece.
.
⛰The people living in these areas who live to be healthy centenarians typically eat a low-fat, plant-based, whole-food diet based on locally grown foods. These centenarians remain physically active, walking up and down hills on a daily basis and tending to their own vegetable gardens and fruit trees.
.
Although the exact foods consumed varies in each of these populations, the one food staple they all eat on a daily basis is beans!
.
♂️For this reason, scientists believe that beans may contain a specific set of phytonutrients that promote longevity, though no specific compound in beans has been isolated as a causal factor for promoting longevity.
.
♂️What researchers do know at this point, however, is that animal-based proteins tend to shorten lifespan and plant-based proteins tend to lengthen it. So, the specific amino acids found in beans (which our bodies use as building blocks for protein) may be the factor that promotes longevity.
.
♂️Most likely, it’s a combo of these things (specific bean phytonutrients plus the amino acid composition) that promotes longevity.
.
️♀️Either way, eating beans on the regular might lengthen your “healthspan” as well as your “lifespan.”

Who’s been eating the rainbow this weekend?!
.
@allysongesch is a rockstar dietitian who truly embodies the idea of eating the rainbow. Her salad bowls are always full of vibrant colors and nourishing plant foods.
.
Can you name every ingredient in this bowl? Take a shot at it in the comments below.
Can you guess the most common barrier to achieving and maintaining weight loss? Hint: It’s not a lack of knowledge about what foods to eat and avoid, nor a lack of exercise.
.
A recently published study found that among people trying to lose weight, the biggest difficulty came from having an unsupportive social network.
.
People who have lost weight and are trying to eat more fruits and vegetables and avoid fatty and processed foods are often criticized by friends and family who are still overweight and don’t follow a healthy lifestyle.
.
Dr. Lynsey Romo, the study’s author, explained there was a stigma against being thin:
.
“Many times, when someone loses weight, that person’s efforts are undermined by friends, family or coworkers.
.
This study found that people experience a ‘lean stigma’ after losing weight, such as receiving snide remarks about healthy eating habits or having people tell them that they’re going to gain all of the weight back.” https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/10410236.2016.1278497?journalCode=hhth20
.
The holidays can be a particularly difficult time to maintain your healthy lifestyle and weight loss goals because unsupportive friends and family may feel like they’re being judged if they eat particular foods that you avoid due to health reasons.
.
This can cause them to prod you to indulge in items you’d rather avoid.
.
There are ways to successfully manage a low-fat, plant-based, whole-food diet throughout the holiday season – without damaging your relationship with friends and family members who don’t necessarily understand or support your healthy lifestyle.
.
We’re hosting a webinar this Thursday, November 8th at 5pm PT to help you navigate the holidays. You’ll also get a chance to win a gift worth $50 when you sign up for the webinar.

Where do you get your protein? The short answer to this is that all whole foods contain protein. Even fruit contains protein! But...
.
The source of your protein is very important because some sources of protein are better than others. Decades ago, nutrition scientists believed that animal-based forms of protein were “superior” to plant-based protein. And many people today still believe this.
.
However, scientists now know from numerous experimental and epidemiological studies that animal-based forms of protein accelerate aging, while plant-based forms of protein.do not. When most or all of your protein comes from plants, numerous metabolic processes occur that preserve good health and promote longevity.
.
So if you want to become a healthy centenarian someday, choose mushrooms – not meat…
.
Or bake some potatoes – not pork.
.
Slice up some tomatoes – not turkey.
.
Pile your plate with broccoli – not beef.
.
As long as you eat enough food and avoid the processed stuff, you’ll get enough protein. And you’ll be healthier by getting your protein from plants instead of animals.
