Bang Bang Turkey Bowl
This recipe uses turkey breast, but feel free to swap in chicken or even a mild white fish.

Why I love it:
  • Protein: Turkey keeps your muscles happy and your immune system in check.
  • Veggies: Coleslaw mix + cucumber = a vitamin-packed crunch that your body will thank you for.
  • Healthy fats: Avocado oil (and a bit from the turkey) give your heart some love and help keep you full.
Ingredients:
  • 1/2 cup Jasmine Rice (dry)
  • 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1/4 tsp Paprika
  • Sea Salt & Black Pepper (to taste)
  • 12 ozs Turkey Breast (chopped)
  • 1 tbsp Avocado Oil
  • 1 1/2 tbsps Mayonnaise
  • 2 1/2 tbsps Sweet Chili Sauce
  • 1 1/2 tsps Lime Juice
  • 2 cups Coleslaw Mix
  • 1/2 Cucumber (medium, sliced)
  • 1 stalk Green Onion (sliced)
Instructions: 
  1. Cook the rice according to the package directions.
  2. Meanwhile, in a bowl, mix the garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Add the turkey and toss to coat.
  3. Heat the oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add the turkey and sauté for eight to 10 minutes until cooked through. Transfer to a plate.
  4. In a large bowl, mix the mayonnaise and the chili sauce together. Set aside 1/4 of the mixture. Add the cooked turkey to the bowl and toss until coated.
  5. Whisk the lime juice into the reserved sauce.
  6. Divide the rice, turkey, coleslaw mix, cucumber, and green onions evenly between bowls. Top with sauce and enjoy!

I am a bold, beautiful, sometimes timid, usually happy, essential oil, nutrition junkie. Although at 39 I feel as if I've had several careers over a lifetime (or at least sometimes when I look back at my resume that is what shines through). I've been a paralegal, an office manager, an administrative assistant, worked in commercial lending and have finally landed on nutrition.

My journey to nutrition started many years ago when my sister was diagnosed with celiac disease and food had to change for the family. From there, along my own health journey I’ve helped people not only figure out what to eat but how to do it so that it can work for them sustainably. For almost seven years I’ve been counseling people on their nutrition and weight loss journeys.

I am knowledgeable about what purpose food serves your body and I focus on finding sustainable options when it comes to food; this also led to my love of essential oils. I had the opportunity to attend a workshop where a registered dietitian spoke about using essential oils in her practice to help her patients. I was floored. I knew that #plantsheal but I didn't realize that others in the 'conventional' medical community thought that as well!! Learning that it was possible to incorporate these magical little bottles gave me a huge sense of hope.

As I learned more about these oils I was diagnosed with increased intestinal permeability or as many of us know it, leaky gut. Leaky gut has been around for quite awhile but many of us are just learning what this is or why this is even more common these days than ever before. Many issues can be related to leaky gut including autoimmune diseases. Receiving this diagnosis just led me down a path further to learn about nutrition and how to best serve my body and take care of myself.

Since birthing our sweet baby boy at home earlier this year I’ve been incredibly passionate about helping other women too who are pregnant and new mothers with their nutrition. Eating healthy for your pregnant body and your postpartum self is a game changer for both mother and baby.
