MINDFUL MAY 🌿 | Tip 2: Half Your Plate with Veggies

This week’s focus: adding more vegetables.

Nutrition doesn’t have to be complicated or restrictive. Sometimes the easiest habits can make the biggest difference—and this is one of them.

Why vegetables matter:
✔ Help keep you fuller longer by adding volume and fiber to meals
✔ Support digestion and gut health
✔ Provide important vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants
✔ Can help improve energy levels and overall performance

Easy ways to add more veggies:
🥗 Add a side salad or steamed vegetables to lunch or dinner
🥬 Throw spinach, peppers, or mushrooms into eggs or omelets
🥒 Snack on carrots, cucumbers, bell peppers, or snap peas with hummus
🥦 Keep frozen veggies on hand for quick and easy meal additions

A simple habit to practice this week:
Aim to make half your plate vegetables at least one or two meals each day.

It doesn’t have to be perfect—just focus on adding more color and consistency to your plate.

Small habits done consistently lead to long-term results.

Stay tuned for next Friday’s Mindful May tip 👀

Waiting for the “perfect time” usually means waiting forever.

Start where you are. Show up as you can.

MINDFUL MAY 🌿 | Tip 1: Protein First

If you only focus on one nutrition habit right now, make it this: prioritize protein at every meal.

A lot of people overcomplicate nutrition by searching for the “perfect” diet, but consistency with the basics will always get you further.

Why protein matters:
• Helps keep you full longer, which can reduce unnecessary snacking and cravings
• Supports muscle recovery after workouts so your body can rebuild and perform at its best
• Helps preserve lean muscle while working toward fat loss goals

Easy ways to add more protein into your day:
✔ Breakfast: eggs, Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, protein oatmeal, or a shake on the go
✔ Lunch: grilled chicken, turkey, tuna, lean beef, or tofu
✔ Dinner: salmon, steak, ground turkey, shrimp, or rotisserie chicken
✔ Snacks: beef jerky, hard-boiled eggs, Greek yogurt, protein bars, edamame, or string cheese

A simple goal: build your meals around a protein source first, then add carbs, healthy fats, and produce around it.

Nutrition doesn’t have to be complicated. Start with one habit, stay consistent, and let the small changes add up over time.
