Recipe: Chickpea of the Sea Salad
Post by Olivia Martino, Registered Dietitian and Co-Owner, Nourish Northwest
I’m always fishing (pun intended) for a good protein packed lunch idea, preferably one I can make in a big batch and eat throughout the week. This chickpea/imitation tuna salad works perfectly. I have been eating it all week for lunch on top of a bed of spinach and also as a snack on a cracker. Yum! Enjoy!

What is Self-Myofascial Release and Why Should I Do It?

Recipe: Easy Curry Sauce
Post by Paula Jahn, Co-owner, Registered Dietitian & Cooking Class Instructor at Nourish Northwest
Clients often ask for quick weeknight meals that can be prepared with kitchen staples. Bonus points for healthy and budget-friendly meals. I have just the recipe. If you have an onion and garlic laying around, you can make this curry sauce with pantry staples in less than 20 minutes. I made this curry bowl with leftover brown rice and soy curls, which comes out to less than $2.00 per serving. I love to have soy curls on hand for a quick source of protein. They are minimally processed, mimic the texture of meat, and take on flavor well. Use cooked chicken or chickpeas for a soy free version.

We tend to focus our nutrition recommendations and recipes on things you eat. Makes sense. However, it is equally as important to think about the compounds that can seep into your system in other ways.
