Mandy King | Holistic Nutritionist<\/h5>\n

\"\"Hey everyone! For those of you who don\u2019t know me, I\u2019m a Holistic Nutritionist and the Founder of HEAL – Healthy Eating And Living<\/a>. As a Holistic Nutritionist, people are always very curious what I eat in a day. Since getting into the world of health seven or so years ago, what I eat on the regular has evolved. There\u2019s no exact label for the way I eat, but I\u2019d call it part paleo-part vegan. I eat animal proteins, but plant-based foods are my focus. Here\u2019s a snapshot of what I\u2019m eating in a day these days.<\/p>\n

Meal prep<\/h4>\n

First of all, I should say that I almost always prep a lot of food on a Sunday<\/a> so that there\u2019s food in the fridge for the week. It just helps when things get busy, plus I feel so much better eating home cooked food most of the time.<\/p>\n

There will always be some roasted vegetables as part of the meal prep.<\/p>\n

I also love roasting a chicken with vegetables because you can get a few meals out of it, use the chicken in salads afterwards, and then use the carcass to make a bone broth. You can grab the recipe for this roasted chicken here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Breakfast<\/h4>\n

Breakfast is typically a smoothie, though in the winter months I often have leftover dinner foods as they are warmer. With spring slowly approaching, I\u2019m back into smoothies though. My fave smoothie is:<\/p>\n
