🐟 Foodie Friday: The Brain-Fueling Power Plate

Let’s talk about a meal that’s clean, nourishing, and delicious—and only takes 3 whole food ingredients to put together.

This week’s Foodie Friday feature is all about fueling your brain, boosting your energy, and supporting your hormone health with a simple, satisfying plate:
Salmon + Cauliflower + Avocado

This combo delivers the ideal balance of protein, fiber, and healthy fat, which is the foundation of anti-inflammatory eating.

✅ Why This Plate Works: The Balanced Trio

🧠 Protein: Salmon Fillet

Wild-caught salmon is a nutritional powerhouse. Rich in omega-3 fatty acids and high-quality protein, salmon helps:

• Reduce inflammation

• Support heart and brain health

• Build and repair muscle

• Regulate hormones

👉 Don’t love salmon? Try tuna, grilled shrimp, or a plant-based swap like tempeh.

🥦 Fiber: Cauliflower

This humble cruciferous veggie is a gut health hero. It’s low in carbs, high in fiber, and incredibly versatile.

Cauliflower benefits include:

• Feeding healthy gut bacteria

• Supporting liver detox

• Helping stabilize blood sugar

• Providing vitamin C and antioxidants

👉 Roast it, mash it, rice it—cauliflower does it all.

🥑 Healthy Fat: Avocado

Creamy, satisfying, and loaded with nutrients, avocado brings flavor and function to your plate.

Why we love it:

• Packed with monounsaturated fats for brain and heart health

• High in potassium and magnesium for hydration and muscle recovery

• Boosts absorption of fat-soluble vitamins (like A, D, E, and K)

👉 Mash it over your salmon, slice it into your salad, or blend it into a dressing.

🔁 Healing Doesn’t Have to Be Complicated

When you stick to whole, nutrient-dense foods like these, you're giving your body the exact tools it needs to restore, rebuild, and thrive.

Protein + Fiber + Healthy Fat = Balanced Blood Sugar, Satiety, and Sustained Energy

No stress, no starving—just meals that serve you.
