Statistically 80-90% of people are not consuming enough fibre 💯😳

Are you consuming enough fibre? 🤷‍♀️

It’s likely most of us could use some more ✨

How do we get more !? 🤷‍♀️

By consuming more complex carbohydrates ✨

How does one do that? 🤷‍♀️

By eating more whole plant foods 🥦🥬🥒🍎🫑

Complex carbohydrates come from whole plant foods 🍠

Whole plant foods like sweet potatoes for example, they are full of fibre meaning the glucose is slow releasing. 🐢

Fibre helps to steady the release of glucose making your blood sugar response more balanced and steady. So you are less likely to experience blood sugar crash. Cheers to sustainable, stable energy! 🥳

Food rich in fibre also create bulk in our stomach signalling our receptors to talk to our brain to let us know when we are full, this can help us become more mindful and aware of our cues when it comes to eating 🧠. Complex carbohydrates also contain a ton of vitamins and minerals to help nourish our cells. ☺️

Fibre rich ‘Mac & cheeze recipe’👩‍🍳

- 1 box of your fav lentil, chickpea, or brown rice pasta 🍝

- squash mac cubes 🧊

- nutritional yeast, onion powder, salt & pepper to taste 🧂

Cook & drain pasta add in the sauce and spices & enjoy! 😚

Pro tip : add about 1/4 cup of reserved starchy pasta water to the sauce before mixing in the noodles. Just trust me. It makes the sauce stick to the noodles and is a major pasta game changer 👏Learned this trick from .lambert & will never go back 🍝😍🙌

Bonus points for adding a veggies to the side, my fav is cauliflower 🥰

summer ahead! 🌳🐿☀️⛰ ⁣
