March, nutrition month! This year’s theme is “A natural balance in nutrition”.
As part of the event, Dairy Farmers of Canada is offering balanced recipes to vary the way we enjoy nutritious food. These include oven-roasted cauliflower soup, a tasty squash and bean salad, a bowl of yogurt and spiced roasted peaches, and a combination of cottage cheese, berries and toasted granola. You can find all these recipes on their website.
For the occasion, we’re also offering you not one, but four smoothie recipes from nutritionist Joanie Séguin: a pre-workout smoothie, a post-workout smoothie and 2 complete smoothies. You can find the complete recipes, along with their nutritional values, in this month’s Multisports MAG.
We also wanted to take advantage of the month of March to help you “discover the power of nutritionists”. Dietitian nutritionists are the only experts in the field of nutrition. So, whether you want to improve your sporting performance, your relationship with food, your body image or simply help you change your eating habits, a nutritionist is the specialist for you. She can also help you achieve your goals of muscle mass gain, weight management and digestive disorders. Finally, the nutritionist is also trained to help you live with a chronic disease or other health condition.
If you feel you would benefit from meeting with a dietitian-nutritionist, don’t hesitate to make an appointment for an initial one-on-one consultation. Many of them also offer group meetings, workshops, conferences and in-company services, so you can be sure they’re right for you.
During this month of nutrition, we hope you’ll take care of your diet by discovering new foods that will make your taste buds skip a beat, and who knows, maybe have a nutritionist accompany you in your next challenges.
