A few items to add to your shopping list at Target for easy toddler meals or healthy toddler snacks. 🙌🏼Most toddlers only need about 13 grams of protein per day, so there’s no need to stress about packing protein into every bite. Toddlers ages 1–3 sodium intake recommendation is about 1,200 mg / day, so while convenience foods can absolutely have a place, it’s still important to pair some of these convenience foods with a whole foods, fruit & veggies whenever possible to add fiber, vitamins, and variety. As a dietitian (and toddler mom), I’m all about finding options that save time while still supporting balanced nutrition! #targetfinds #familymeals #toddlermealideas #dietitiantips #dietitian by @arissabua

Today’s eats! My meals took less than 5 min to put together because when you’re trying to prep for you and your toddlers meals at the same time- you got no time 😂😂 Breakfast was my go to chia seed pudding I make the night before! I make the pancakes in a batch to last 3 days or so Banana Pancake recipe - 2 eggs - 1 banana - 1/4 cup oat flour -1/4 cup cottage cheese (I top them with peanut butter and ground flax seed once made)My lunch screams “I don’t know what to make but I need this to be filling” and it defiantly did just that! I have prepped chicken breast and threw it together with avocado, navy beans, lemon and balsamic! Sometimes I’ll pair it with some crackers!Turkey / veggie meatballs recipe:- 16oz ground turkey - 1-2 shredded carrots- 1/2 shredded zucchini - 1 egg * mix and form balls, put on baking sheet lined with parchment paper * bake at 350 for 15-20 min until 165 internal tempAnytime I can use the same foods on both of our plates I’m doing it because it saves so much time 🥑🥝!! The corn, peas, and beans I’m using are all frozen/canned which also makes prep a lot easier. He’s been finishing about 90% of all his meals right now the other 10% ends up on the floor, ofc lol. Happy eating 😋 #toddlermealideas #toddlermomlife #dietitian #healthymealideas #familymeal by @arissabua

And just like that- I’ve got some extra time on my hands 😅. To be real though, when I decided to wean I went through a wave of emotions since it became a part of me and my routine. I was sad because it meant this chapter was closing and a physical sign that he is continuing to grow up but also so amazed and proud of what my body was able to do!! For all those who choose to breastfeed, it’s a sport 😅 and you’re doing amazing. #newmom #momlife #breastfeeding #weaningjourney #exclusivepumping by @arissabua

It’s time to get your pink back !!! ✨My go to chia seed pudding recipe that has 30g protein!! - 2tbsp chia seeds - 5oz almond milk - 1 scoop protein powder (I use @promix )-dash vanilla extract Right before serving I melt 1/2 cup frozen berries to put on top & drizzle peanut butterMy Google Calendar has become my bff 👯 I’m a big fan of time blocking, I will look at my next day the night before to see if I need to move/add anything and/or make sure the day is realistic so I’m not caught off guard!So many people get caught in the trap of being all or nothing. Especially as a mom when you just want to feel like yourself again asap. The problem with that is this can be a trap for amplified mom guilt. When you have a family, you have to leave room for flexibility because things might not always go to plan, and that’s OKAY. Consistency is defined by what you do most of the time, not all the time.This one is easier said than done tbh. But when I feel the urge to open socials, my email, etc it really becomes a heart check and I ask myself- why? The mornings have become the first opportunity for me to say “yes” to myself and why use that opportunity to look at other people’s lives? I aim to get up before my son does so I can spend at least 30 min to myself to set the tone for the day before it gets ahead of meIf you find yourself getting anxious as the day goes or overwhelmed + overstimulated. Stop what you’re doing and put this reoccurring alarm in your phone. Pick a hour and have it set at :59 so it’s a reminder to just take a few deep breaths for ONE MINUTE. You can do anything for one minute. You can pray, do box breathing, sit in silence.As a dietitian and mom I’m also figuring it out in each new season. If you’re wondering how to enjoy motherhood consider these reminders from a friend who wants that for you 🤍. by @arissabua

I promise eating whole foods can be super flavorful AND EASY !! All of these meals took less than 15 min to put together, and a majority of it is coming from local farms thanks to @farmhousedelivery 🫶🏼This was post workout and had about 20g of protein! Love adding berries for extra fiber and pumpkin seeds for magnesium!Honey Balsamic Dressing: 🍯*Make a larger batch & store in mason jar to cut down on prep time*- 1tbsp @holdmanhoney - 1tbsp balsamic vinegar - 1 tsp olive oilThe meal kit gave us about 3 servings! It might’ve been our favorite one we’ve tried so far 👀The Brazil nuts are sooooo good for thyroid health, popcorn is a whole grain for a lil extra fiber, and the sugar cookie because it’s TASTY! by @arissabua
