Rolling through Wholegrain Week with a Japanese classic: riceball (#onigiri, or おにぎり🍙) made with steamed brown rice mixed with dried seaweed, herbs and sesame seeds 😆🍙❤️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We don't just rave about wholegrains because of their fibre punch 👊 Did you know that wholegrains provide more than 25 other important nutrients? 🤓 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Wholegrains are inGRAINED in Asian cuisines 😂 such as brown rice, wheat flour, barley and oats 🤓 They feature as staples for meals, breads, crackers #senbei , soups and even sake 🍶🙃 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So, why not ask for brown rice with your stirfry, brown rice sushi or give barley soup a try? 😉 Give a new grain a go this week. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Love rice? Check out my recipes in the bio for rice loving dishes 😆💕🍚 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Let's do this! 🔥

Making Mondays manageable with this stack of fruity and filling wholemeal pancakes 🥞🍽️ A spinoff of my original recipe on my website 😉 #healthyrecipeshare ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Used the goodness of grated apple to sweeten the batter 🍎🍎 and added a slice of banana into the centres for a gooey warmed filling 🍌🍌 Top with dollops of greek yoghurt and poached berries while steaming hot and get that hot-cold waterfall effect 😆 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Wholemeal flour may come at 50cents more than it's white flour companion, but if you're thinking nutrition wise buying the wholemeal pack means you're actually paying less for MORE nutrients and good health 🤓 (I'm definitely needing that with my bout of sniffles 🤧) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Wholegrains are a filling high-fibre way of bulking up your meals AND scoring 25 other essential nutrients #healthsmart #budgeteating #lookforthewholegrain ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Celebrate National Wholegrain Week 😉🎉 Where can wholegrains feature in your meal this week? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Happy Monday!

Serving up the week with this steaming bowl of Pork Katsu Don 🍽️🙃 This bowl of steamed rice is topped with crumbed pork fillet sliced and coated in soft onion and egg scramble and spring onions 😆🥚🍚 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Recently, I read an article on @goodfoodau about "Nutrichondriacs" 🤔 those who become preoccupied with negative effects of foods and drinks. At a glance, these are positive behaviours - striving for better health, being mindful of your food choices and making little tweaks to your faves for equally enjoyable yet healthier #recipemakeover ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ THAT SAID, positive behaviours and changes can quickly be undermined by negativity when moral values are placed onto foods (good vs evil), negative selftalk after eating anything below their "ideal". ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I work with a whole range of individuals each with their own take on "ideal" and what they want to achieve for health 👐👐 For two different individuals, this donburi might be great, irrelevant or opposed to their health goals 💭 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So, let's have a ponder over what your ideal health means 🤔 And as we enjoy foods in moderation 🙏 we can do the same for behaviours too ✌️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Happy Friday!

Midweek mornings with a stack of french-toasted wholemeal fingers and panfried bananas 🍌☀️👌 Looks a bit the aftermath of a game of Jenga 😂 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Felt a little dormant this morning after a three day weekend 😪 (it was a public holiday yesterday in NSW) 🙃 Picking up momentum after a rest can need an extra push 🤣 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Decided to warm up winter at our place with a morning classic ➕ simple adjustments for added, nourishing Ooomph 😉 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Wholemeal bread, egg, milk, banana, mixed spices = these are actually the same simple ingredients you'd need for a quick eggs on toast brekkie with a glass of milk anyway 🙃 So kept home diners excited without having to shop for extra ingredients ✌️✌️ #healthunhealth ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Have a good Tuesday!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Fueling up AND filling up on Friday with this assorted bento box 😄 Can you see the proportions of carbs, protein and veggies? 🤓 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ✔️ Cabbage, carrot, zucchini and shiitake mushroom stirfry 🥕🥒🍄 ✔️ Chicken thigh, carrots, daikon (white raddish) braised in soy sauce 🍗 ✔️ Egg roll with nori sheets 🥚🍳 ✔️All on a bed of brown rice 🍚 (ok, you can't see this part 🤣) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It might sound basic, but physically packing your own lunch (or plating up your own dinner) allows you to visually rehearse breaking down your meal into the different components and how much of each you're putting into your box/plate 😉🍽️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Kind of like a lunchbox, it's nice to open up a packed week at the end and reflect on how and what you've been able to do 😄❤️ Networking and Student Awards night, mental health teleconference, supermarket tour with families (+ drenching journey) and ongoing work with consumers living with osteoarthritis and diabetes 😊 One more day, but I'm feeling like a long weekend already 😂 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Happy Friday!

Midweek munchables by trying out gluten free bread 🍞 it definitely tastes noticably different to usual bread, but I was pleasantly surprised 😄 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It was slightly chewy like glutinous rice... Source of the texture can be explained by the ingredients 🤓 Looking at the ingredients list of this bread from @colessupermarkets it used tapioca 🙄 which is also used to make those chewy black pearls in asian bubble milk teas 👉👉👉 So you can imagine the mochi-like, glutinous texture of the bread. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Some context to my opinion, you should probably know a bit about my taste preferences: I LOVE mochi (glutinous sticky rice balls 🍡) and fluffy rice is a staple at my place 🍙 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This loaf has added seeds to up the fibre content while keeping it wheat-grain free. All in all it was a fun find and great for people living with Coeliac disease, but probably not going to replace my gluten-containing loaf 🍞😋 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What's your midweek discovery? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
