You either love or loath sardines but undoubtedly You either love or loath sardines but undoubtedly they are a nutrition powerhouse. I do cart wheels on the inside when a client says they like sardines 😂. Why? They have a unique combination of protein, omega-3s, calcium & Vitamin D. Wonderful for bone health.

We barbecued these sardines with red onion & tomatoes. Then drizzled in olive oil & sprinkled with fresh oregano. #sharemyhealthyloveoffood #acutabovenutrition

Have you noticed purple cauliflower in fruit & veg Have you noticed purple cauliflower in fruit & veggie stores at the moment? Good news is it’s not dyed. Anthocyanins (antioxidants) provide the purple hue & health benefits. These are the same antioxidants you’ll find in blueberries & red wine.

Anthocyanins are particularly beneficial for cardiovascular health.

Purple cauliflower is 30% higher in Vitamin C than white cauliflower. It’s actually a member of the same Brassicae sub-group as broccoli (white cauliflower belongs to the cabbage sub-group) & contains similar nutrients to broccoli.

So pop some purple cauliflower in your shopping basket for a nutrient boost 💜. #sharemyhealthyloveoffood #acutabovenutrition
Beetroot & Cashew Dip. Easy to make & healthier th Beetroot & Cashew Dip. Easy to make & healthier than store bought dips. The main concern with store bought dips is the addition of inflammatory seed oils.

Beetroot is high in potassium & helps with blood pressure regulation.

Don’t throw away the leaves as these are a rich source of calcium, potassium, iron & Vitamin C. Wash well & add to your salad mix.

You’ll find the recipe in link in profile. #sharemyhealthyloveoffood #acutabovenutrition
