How healthy food can STOP weight loss

I went snowboarding today and made a video for you once I got off the mountain...

I was inspired by the cashew sour cream episode of yesterday's Munchie Motivation where I showed how and why to make it and 10 ways to use it (it's SO good!).

This is why...

** Just because a food is healthy, doesn’t mean it’ll help ya lose weight. **

I teach my clients how to eat without portion control or calorie counting. They learn how to eat foods that are highest in nutrition, low in calories and make you feel full so u can just eat, lose weight and stay there... like the human body is designed to do.

Some healthy foods though, are really high in calories but take up a small space in your stomach so you almost have to over eat in order to stay full.

Cashews and nuts are a perfect example...

Same weight/amount of food, but look at that calorie difference!

If you were to eat the same # of calories, you’d have so much more food to eat with the sweet potato which is a good thing because quantity is partially what helps u feel full.

Watch the video to learn more but remember this no matter what…

** Just because a food is “healthy” doesn’t mean it’s optimal **

Now I’d love to hear from you. Comment below…

Munchie Motivation

Hey it’s Nutritionist and Maintainable Weight Loss Coach, Trisha Mandes and it’s Munchie Motivation time! I’m here to show you how to turn your favorite munchies in to optimal eats so you satisfy your cravings while advancing your health.

Today, I’m sharing how to make cashew sour cream, 5 reasons you want to make it and 10 ways to eat it.

5 Reasons to Make Cashew Sour Cream

  • it’s delicious! I think it’s better than “the real thing”

  • only 5 ingredients

  • takes 5 minutes to make!

  • it’s versatile aka it goes with A LOT of optimal dishes

  • it has more nutrition than regular sour cream (aka it has phytonutrients (regular sour cream has none) and a wider variety of vitamins and minerals)

Cashew Sour Cream Recipe

(Thank you Angela Liddon for introducing us to this recipe and the many new things I love to cook because of you).

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 cups (225 g) raw cashews, soaked

  • 3/4 cup water

  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

  • 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Directions:

1. Soak cashews:

Soaking option one (if you're in a pinch): Place cashews in a microwave safe bowl with enough water to completely cover the cashews. Microwave for two minutes.

Soaking option two: place cashews in a bowl and cover completely with water. Let sit with a lid or plate on top for 8 hours. You can do this overnight.

Soaking option three: boil enough water to completely cover the cashews and pour the boiling water on-top of them. Soak for about an hour.

2. Rinse and drain the cashews (you don't want the soaking liquid in your cashew sour cream).

3. Place the drained cashews in a high-speed blender (you can use a regular blender but the final texture won't be as smooth. It'll be slightly grainy but the flavor will still be great).

4. Add the water, lemon, vinegar, and salt to the blender with the cashews. Blend on high until really smooth. You may need to blend for about three minutes straight. Stop half-way and scrape the sides of blender if need be.

5. Place in a small bowl with a lid and put in the fridge until chilled. It'll thicken slightly as it cools. Then use it in one of these five ways. If you have a different idea, let us know in the comments section below how you'd use cashew sour cream.

10 Ways To Use Cashew Sour Cream

  1. On optimal nachos

  2. as a taco topping

  3. on toast with sautéed garlicky kale on top

  4. to toss sautéed or roasted veggies in for my flavor

  5. on top of tofu scramble

  6. a salad dressing base (i.e. to make cashew Caesar or Russian dressing)

  7. dollop on “cream”-based soups as a garnish (i.e. creamy butternut squash or tomato soups)

  8. as a dip for optimal potato fries

  9. with burrito bowls

  10. on-top of baked potatoes

Now I’d love to hear from you so I can make Munchie Motivation even better for you…
