WHAT DOES SELF-CARE MEAN TO YOU?⠀ .⠀ Interesting topic, right? During my 3-month plan, I often have the chance to talk about self-care with my clients. I usually start with an example, talking about my current definition of self-care... that is always different! Today, for example, my answer was: self-care means making baked pasta for my boyfriend who has been asking for it for a while (yes self-care can be related to you but involving someone else!), self-care means making a homemade dark chocolate bar (the one in the pic 📷), self-care means taking it extra slowly in the morning because my body is asking for it... I accept that, take from it what I need to learn and move on.⠀ .⠀ In an ideal world, I should be able to follow my entire daily routine every morning, but hey... reality is a little bit different! So I take advantage of any little chance to show myself that I really care about MY BODY, MY MIND, MY EMOTIONS: sometimes I do that through the food that I choose to put on my table but other choices are related to my lifestyle, my relationship with the people around me, my work, etc.⠀ .⠀ => I don't force myself to say things like "I have to go for a walk" or "I need to eat my veggies" - what I actually say (or maybe it's more accurate to say "what I actually FEEL") is "I want to go for a walk" or "I want to eat my veggies". It's all a matter of building HEALTHY HABITS.⠀ .⠀ Tell me in the comments below 👇 which is one simple self-care choice that you can include in your life today! Chiara x

Any baking plans for the weekend? Find the recipe for these brownies with black beans on my blog (link in bio 👆). Pair them with a dollop of Greek yogurt and some berries for a lovely breakfast or dessert to finish off a dinner. Chiara x

Quick lunch with roasted aubergines, fermented veggies, and an egg on a toasted whole grain scone (find the recipe for these scones on the blog). A good mix of colours and nutrients to give me the right support throught the day 🙆 it's all about little things! How was your lunch today? Chiara x . p.s.

Do you sometimes plan ahead your breakfast? Overnight oats are just as easy as they sound, and perfect for Summer since they taste great both cold and warm. Last night, I have blended some blueberries with a couple of strawberries and some goat milk kefir - I have then mixed this liquid part with oats, and left everything in the fridge for the night. Today, I just had to take the bowl out from the fridge 10-15 minutes before eating it and add the toppings (extra blueberries, walnuts, cacao nibs, coconut, cinnamon).⠀ .⠀ Busy days call for anything that can help to make your everyday life easier, right? Put overnight oats on this list! Chiara #amatterofnourishment

[Italian in the first comment] Another pic of real food from my kitchen paired with today's post. I often hear people who say that they are willing to⠀ *give up tasty food to follow a diet⠀ *stop going out with friends to reach their weight goal⠀ *go to the gym if I would recommend doing so⠀ *stop eating pasta even if they love it⠀ *ignore their belly rumbling and asking for food⠀ *make their own lunch if I say that this will help them lose weight⠀ .⠀ Do you REALLY think that you need to commit to this kind of things to have a healthier diet, lifestyle, and relationship with food? Do you think that "healthy" goes together with "restrictions, limitations, weight goals, and sad food"? ⠀ .⠀ Let me tell you that is not like this. I have radically changed my relationship with food since I moved out of my family house at 19 and so, the food on my table changed. I have been fully vegetarian and vegan, having no added sugar, reducing carbs, dealing with emotional eating, and avoiding gluten (not all at the same time, obviously!). I have been someone who was going to the gym 5 times a week, I've tried running, walking, yoga, aqua fitness, aerobics. And much more...⠀ .⠀ Want to know the most important thing that I've learned? => make peace with food and be confident with your body and food choices.⠀ .⠀ I have slowly learned that A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE SHOULD BE⠀ ⠀ *something that you are able to follow on a daily basis⠀ *tailored to your needs⠀ *something that you can ENJOY⠀ *made of ups and downs that we need to accept - it won't be perfect, but it will be YOUR OWN JOURNEY⠀ .⠀ Remember:⠀ 🌟Freedom, joy, and confidence to choose what is best for you... this is what a healthy lifestyle should be about!🌟⠀ .⠀ Chiara x⠀ .⠀ p.s.⠀ I will never get tired of saying that if you truly have a good relationship with food, this will stay with you no matter how your schedule looks like, where you live or whether you have the best shops close to you or not 💖 Want to take the first step of your journey?

EN >> Another fresh and colourful idea for a simple yet delicious snack: chia seeds pudding + smoothie.⠀ .⠀ 🍓To make the chia pudding: I have mixed some goat milk kefir with chia seeds (approx. 200 ml kefir and 4 tbsp of seeds - x 2 jars) - leave in the fridge for 15-20 minutes.⠀ .⠀ 🍓To make the smoothie: 1 banana, a handful of blueberries, 3-4 strawberries, 1 tbsp of red currants, 1 tsp ginger powder (x 2 jars).⠀ .⠀ Have you ever tried to make your chia pudding with kefir? There are plenty of alternatives for this simple preparation that allow you to vary what you eat and, at the same time, give you the chance to be more creative while cooking! Some of my favourite are kefir, yogurt, and hazelnut drink. What about you? Chiara x⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ IT >> Un'altra idea fresca e colorata per una merenda semplice ma un po' diversa dal solito: pudding di semi di chia + frullato.⠀ .⠀ 🍓Per il pudding di semi di chia: ho mischiato del kefir di latte di capra con i semi di chia (circa 200 ml di kefir, 4 cucchiai di semi di chia - x 2 barattolini) ed ho messo il tutto a riposare in frigorifero per 15-20 minuti.⠀ .⠀ 🍓Per il frullato: 1 banana, 1 manciata di mirtilli, 3-4 fragole, 1 cucchiaio di ribes rosso, 1 cucchiaino di zenzero in polvere (x 2 barattolini).⠀ .⠀ Hai mai provato a fare il pudding di semi di chia col kefir? Ci sono tante alternative per questa semplicissima preparazione che ti permettono di alternare quello che metti in tavola ed allo stesso tempo ti portano a sperimentare un po' in cucina! Tra le mie preferite ci sono kefir, yogurt, e bevanda alla nocciola. E le tue? Chiara x
