Fluid’s Nutrition Challenge Starts September 13th!

Want to look and feel your best?

Need to improve your diet, but you’re not sure where, or how to start?

I’ve got a plan for you!

Picture how you want to feel one month from now. How specific can you be with your goals?

For example:

  • You fit into that pair of pants that has been taunting you since last year.
  • You eat one home cooked meal with your family each week.
  • You replace your daily habit of a glass of wine with journaling, meditation, or a bath.

What is Fluid’s Nutrition Challenge?

Join our Nutrition Challenge and together you and I will craft YOUR customized plan. Over the next four weeks you will make small, incremental changes that lead to lasting results.

  • 4 week plan to improve your diet
  • 30 minute goal setting meeting with me on Zoom
  • weekly email and phone support

What it’s not:

This is not a “cleanse”. There will be no juicing (unless you really like juice). This is not a weight loss diet per se, but if you goal is to lose weight, or improve your body composition, I am here to help you.

You will bring new awareness to how you are fueling your body. You will learn to recognize your emotional eating cues, and to understand how to create new habits (spoiler alert – this has very little to do with willpower).

The cost is $55. Fit Club members, this challenge is included in your membership!

The Challenge starts September 13th. Please reach out to me this week, as I’m scheduling one on one goal setting sessions now. I’m holding a spot for you, dear friend!

Call or email me today to reserve your spot!

Ahi Poke Recipe

Did y’all see my post about our recent trip to Hawaii?

We ate all kinds of delicious, fresh, local food, and once we got home I wanted to recreate poke.

The trick is to start with a really fresh piece of fish. To be considered grade 1, or sushi grade tuna, where you typically are eating it raw – either plain, or lightly dressed – the fish is handled a specific way from the moment it is caught. It is immediately processed, and put on ice. While it used to be that eating fish in a town where you couldn’t smell the ocean was risky (order salmon at a restaurant in Flagstaff, no thank you), now seafood can be carefully insulated and flown most anywhere. In fact, I bet with a quick search I could find a fishmonger in the other Portland to overnight Maine lobsters for tomorrow’s dinner!

Here’s a poke recipe that is a little bit salty, sweet, crunchy, creamy, and oh so delicious. This could be an appetizer, or snack. Turn this into a bowl by layering rice, salad greens, thin sliced cabbage, red pepper, or whatever floats your boat.

Try it and let me know what you think.

Ahi Poke

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb #1, or Ahi tuna
  • 3 Tbsp soy sauce
  • 3 Tbsp mirin
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tsp sriracha
  • 1 small shallot, minced
  • 2 cloves of garlic, crushed
  • 1 avocado, cubed
  • 1 cucumber, diced small
  • 2 scallions, sliced thin
  • Sprinkle of furikake

Directions:

  1. Chop tuna into small cubes.
  2. Whisk together soy sauce, mirin, sesame oil, sriracha, shallot and garlic.
  3. Mix dressing with fish, and chill for one hour.
  4. Just before serving, mix in avocado, and cucumber. Taste, and adjust seasonings if needed.
  5. Top with scallions and furikake, and enjoy!

A note about ingredients. First, I forgot how much I love furikake! I’ve been sprinkling it on eggs, steamed veg, salads! I found all my ingredients (minus the tuna) at my local grocery store. I was thinking of taking a field trip out to Uwajimaya, or cruising 82nd, which I may still do just for fun, but I was also doing my regular grocery shopping the day I bought my ingredients and was on a mission, know what I mean? The tuna came from Portland Fish Market on Woodstock.
