Today’s word prompt: Fork

On By recoverynutritionIn edrecovery, Nutrition, orthorexia, Uncategorized2 Comments

I never considered participating in the daily word prompt…until I saw today’s challenge: fork. The word couldn’t be more relevant for what I want to talk about today: mindful eating.


This has been an extremely difficult task for me throughout recovery and is something I have yet to master. Being able to listen to my body and hunger cues, eat what I’m in the mood for, and to actively enjoy and savor each bite symbolizes full recovery to me. (After having maintained a healthy weight).

My challenge for you (and myself) is to be actively engaged with what’s on your fork. For starters, I challenge you to eat with all five senses..listening to the crackling while cooking, smelling the aroma, seeing the colors, tasting each flavor and spice, and feeling the textures. Most importantly, be thankful for what’s on your fork, the nourishment you are giving your body, and the sensational feeling of enjoyment. Food is not solely meant to be nutritious, it’s meant to be enjoyed and to be enjoyed with others. Therefore, I challenge you to also share your fork with someone else.

Keep using that fork.

Sigi yogurt and oat pancakes

I was very shocked at how similar these taste to actual pancakes! If blueberry isn’t your style, try vanilla Sigi with chocolate chips or protein powder.

Ingredients:

  • 1 container blueberry Sigi yogurt
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 medium banana, ripened
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder(I used baking soda)
  • Blueberries
  • Honey or maple syrup

Directions: Blend together all ingredients except blueberries and honey/maple syrup, until liquid. Grease pan with spray, olive oil, or butter and pour batter onto the pan. (I was able to make 4 small pancakes.) Add blueberries to batter and flip until cooked thoroughly. Top with honey or maple syrup and enjoy:)
