Shredded tofu & coleslaw wrap

Shredded tofu & coleslaw wrap
This quick wrap is a great example of how simple ingredients can come together to support balanced energy and hormone health. The tofu provides plant-based protein to help stabilize blood sugar—an important foundation for keeping cortisol and insulin levels steady throughout the day. Crunchy cabbage from the slaw mix adds fiber that supports digestion and helps the body eliminate excess hormones through the gut. Finished with a creamy coconut yogurt and hot sauce drizzle, this wrap delivers flavor while keeping things light, nourishing, and satisfying. It’s an easy lunch or snack that supports steady energy without the afternoon crash.

Ingredients:
  • 5 ozs Tofu (extra-firm, patted dry)
  • 1/4 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1/4 tsp Smoked Paprika
  • Sea Salt & Black Pepper (to taste)
  • 1/16 oz Avocado Oil Spray
  • 2 tbsps Unsweetened Coconut Yogurt
  • 1 tbsp Hot Sauce
  • 1 cup Coleslaw Mix
  • 1 Brown Rice Tortilla
Instructions:
  1. Preheat the oven to 425ºF (220ºC). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Shred the tofu using the large holes of a box grater and place it on the baking sheet. Toss the tofu with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Spray with oil, spread out evenly, and cook in the oven for 10 to 15 minutes until browned and cooked through.
  3. Meanwhile, in a bowl, combine the yogurt and hot sauce. Add the coleslaw and toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Lay the tortillas flat. Divide the coleslaw and tofu evenly among them. Roll each wrap tightly, tucking in the sides to form a burrito. Enjoy!

Hummus and Chopped Olive Snack Box

Hummus and Chopped Olive Snack Box
This is one of my favorite “real food” snack boxes when I want something savory, satisfying, and actually stabilizing — not the kind of snack that leaves you hunting for chocolate 45 minutes later. It’s simple. It’s nutrient-dense. And it works. This is the kind of snack that says: “I care about my nervous system and my blood sugar.” Not restrictive. Not complicated. Just supportive.

  • ¾ cup assorted olives, finely chopped
  • ½ medium cucumber, finely chopped
  • ½ large red bell pepper, finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp shallot, finely chopped
  • 1 cup hummus
  • 1 oz seed crackers (I use Mary’s Gone Crackers)
Instructions:
1. In a bowl, combine the chopped olives, cucumber, bell pepper, and shallot. Mix gently.
2. Divide the chopped salad, hummus, and crackers evenly between plates or in containers with separate compartments. Enjoy!

Meet Leah Negrin

 
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.
