What I'm loving these days.

Hi, this is Caroline! I am one of the co-founders here at Diata. As you probably know, I am a huge foodie. When it comes to meals, I'm all about easy, low-maintenance & delicious options that will make me feel great and nourish my body — especially these days being 8.5 months pregnant with twins! 👶🏼👶🏼
Here are my current healthy go-to meals. (Yes, these are great even if you're not pregnant!).

My current favorite meals {screenshot these for later!}
- The breakfast I'm obsessed with right now: 2 maple brown sugar oatmeal + chia + flax + a few nuts + berries.
- My "always-hits-the-spot" lunch: pre-washed lettuce (bowery pre-washed lettuce is my current go to) + handful of microgreens + salmon salad (1 can of salmon with primal kitchen avocado mayo, salt, pepper + water chestnuts.) Drizzle greens with olive oil and mix everything together. The water chestnuts are a must — they add a really great crunch. If I'm looking for something more substantial, I'll toss everything into a low-carb Mission wrap.
- My first afternoon snack: our milk chocolate caramel nut bar. Without fail, I've been reaching for one of these every afternoon around 3pm.
- Second snack: a huge mug of English breakfast tea with unsweetened vanilla almond milk & 2 monkfruit packets. If I have time, I'll froth up the milk up into a decadent almond milk tea latte.
- Third snack (if hungry): handful of baby carrots + 1 stick of organic cheese.
- If I'm working late and have a few more things to do before dinner, I'll often make some steamed broccoli or cauliflower and top with shaved Parmesan. It takes about 4 minutes to make and is so good with fresh Parmesan. To steam the veg — grab a bag of pre-cut broccoli/cauliflower, toss into a glass bowl and fill the bottom of the bowl with about 1/2 inch of water. Add a damp paper towel on top and put in the microwave for 3.5-4 minutes, or until soft. Sprinkle with fresh Parmesan cheese.
- Dinner: I've been loving Cava salads and soups recently. At Cava, I get all of the veggies + pickled veggies + chicken + hold on the dressing and add the original hummus instead. I've also been making our new chef recipes for soups that are currently in test-mode. The miso tofu soup is SO good. (This one will probably be launching soon!)
- When I want something sweet: toasted Raspberry smartcakes with a dollop of vanilla halo top or with some vegan smart balance (it melts into the cakes if you put it on right as the cakes come out of the air fryer).
