BEST SOURCES OF B VITAMINS if you don't eat that m

BEST SOURCES OF B VITAMINS if you don't eat that much meat or none at all // B vitamins are essential for energy production ----> symptoms of low vitamin B include extreme fatigue, lack of energy, brain fog, noticeable heart palpitations and stomach issues. 👎🏻

B vitamins literally help the body convert food into energy so these are crucial vitamins you want to be making sure you're getting enough of. You might be low on B vitamins if:

- you eat a vegetarian diet
- have an autoimmune condition
- you're on hormonal birth control
- excessive alcohol consumption

Meat is a main source of B vitamins so if you're vegetarian or just don't eat that much of it, cycle in these other sources into your diet on a daily basis because B vitamins are water soluble meaning you need to replace ones that are lost daily.

Homemade 3-ingredient frozen pumpkin dog treats! 🐶🎃 Save and make for your pup!

As an RD what Pumpkin eats is important to me too! 💁🏻‍♀️These 3 ingredients are safe for dogs — pumpkin purée is a superfood for dogs and great for their digestion. 🎃

Frozen pumpkin dog treats 🐶🎃
2/3 cup plain 0% yogurt
1/2 cup pumpkin purée
1/4 cup unsweetened peanut butter ( look for ones with just peanuts! No added stuff for the pups!)

GREEK REMAKE --> Chicken Souvlaki Pitas! Such a fu

GREEK REMAKE --> Chicken Souvlaki Pitas! Such a fun meal especially for summer! 🇬🇷☀️

The pitas in Greece were next level but I’d say my Verizon comes very close! 🎉

Chicken marinade:

2-3 chicken breast, cubed
1/4 cup plain greek yogurt
2 tbsp. fresh dill
2 tbsp. dried oregano
2 tsp. chili powder
2 tsp. salt
juice of 1 lemon

Combine all ingredients with the chicken -- after marinating for at least an hour in the fridge add to skewers (soak them in water for 10 minutes before using) then grill and assemble the pitas! Tzatziki recipe in my previous reel! 🇬🇷
