Broccoli and Cod Rice Bowl with Avocado
This meal is such a simple win for your body. You’ve got heart-loving healthy fats from extra virgin olive oil and avocado, which help support balanced cholesterol and keep inflammation in check. Broccoli and cilantro bring in a boost of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants to support your immune system and overall health. And the cod? It’s a lean, high-quality protein that helps with muscle repair and keeps you feeling satisfied—without loading you up on saturated fat. Nourishing, balanced, and actually doable.

Ingredients:
  • 1/2 cup Jasmine Rice (dry)
  • 1 cup Broccoli (small florets)
  • 1 Cod Fillet
  • 1 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1 Garlic (clove, minced)
  • 1 tsp Chili Flakes
  • Sea Salt & Black Pepper (to taste)
  • 2 tbsps Lime Juice
  • 1/2 Avocado (medium, sliced)
  • 2 tbsps Cilantro (chopped)
Instructions: 
  1. Cook the rice according to the package directions. During the last three minutes of cooking, top the rice with the broccoli florets. Keep covered.
  2. Meanwhile, add the fish to a bowl with the oil, garlic, chili flakes, salt, and pepper and marinate for 10 minutes.
  3. Heat a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the fish and cook for three to four minutes until fully cooked, breaking it up as it cooks. Drizzle with lime juice.
  4. Divide the rice, broccoli, and fish evenly into bowls. Top with avocado and cilantro. 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.
