THIS is why I ate this for lunch. 👏🏼
🥔 A potato with the skin—fiber, potassium, satisfying carbohydrates and staying power
🥚 A hard-boiled egg—protein and healthy fat
🥣 Cottage cheese—another great source of protein
🥑 Half an avocado—potassium, fiber and healthy fat
🌿 Cilantro—because I love the flavor
🧂 Himalayan salt—for sodium and seasoning
This simple plate gives your body protein, fiber, carbohydrates, healthy fats, sodium and potassium—all from actual food.
And here’s your reminder: you do NOT need an electrolyte packet just because you exercise or sweat. They can be useful after long, intense or extremely sweaty workouts,BUT with the right foods, you don’t need them at all.. (seriously!!! Crazy right?)
Half an avocado alone contains MUCH more potassium than many popular electrolyte packets, add the potassium from the potato and the sodium(the “magic ingredient in electrolyte packages) from the salt, and this meal seriously delivers.
Don’t let clever marketing convince you that hydration and minerals have to come from an expensive packet. Drink your water, salt your food appropriately and eat nourishing, balanced meals.
Real food first. Always. Your body will thank you. 🤍
