I would like to propose a MINDSET Shift around the way that we think about the foods that nourish and heal our bodies. So often in the health and wellness industry, we are bombarded with messaging around what not to eat, what is not good for you, foods that are free of this and without that. Our goal is to shift your mindset around food and nutrition to focus more on the amazing benefits of the foods we use to fuel our bodies. We hope this little slideshow encourages you to focus more on the good and less on the bad and to get excited about experimenting with foods either in your own kitchen or through our NourishingFUEL meal prep program.
I hope this information is helpful. If you would like to learn more about NourishingFUEL (available in Bangor, Maine to WILCOX clients only) be sure to check out our new website, www.NourishingFUEL.com.
Please feel free to reach out if you have any other questions! Lots of love, Paige Wilcox

So many of our clients absolutely LOVE pizza and I have been on the hunt for a recipe that is healthy and delicious. This is a true winner in my book! For a long time, I have been experimenting with cauliflower crust, and while I do have a few cauliflower recipes that I love, they are incredibly time consuming. This recipe is super simple and you can see me whip it together super fast in the video below. AND - it has just a couple simple ingredients that you could have on hand at all times, so the next time you get that crazy craving - you are able to whip up something healthy vs calling the pizza delivery man. Super simple, right? And just a few ingredients: quinoa, an egg, salt, pepper, baking powder, and oregano. HEAVEN! Quiona is referred to as the 'mother of all grains' and for good reason - it has high in protein and is one of the very few plant foods that contain sufficient amounts of all nine essential amino acids. It is also high in fiber, magnesium, B vitamins, iron, potassium, calcium, phosphorus, vitamin E and various beneficial antioxidants. Read more here! Here is the recipe from Run Fast Eat Slow:  I hope you love it! Please let me know if you are going to give it a try for your next pizza night!

Healthy Charcuterie Board - how is that for a fun food idea for the next time you entertain friends or family… but first lets talk about something that’s pretty important. In fact, it’s something our clients ask us about all the time!
How do you know the “right” diet or the “right” foods to eat, when you get so many conflicting facts? It can be overwhelming! How do you know what’s fact vs. fiction? Borrowing advice from the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (website: eatright.org), helps simplify things a lot. It’s all about VARIETY and not about following a specific diet (low-fat, low-carb, low-sugar, etc.) or cutting out entire food groups... because those kinds of eating plans are really hard to sustain for a lifetime. In a nutshell (pun intended), it’s about eating more healthy, whole foods like veggies, fruits, seafood, nuts, and beans – and eating less processed meats, refined grains, sweetened drinks, or sugary/processed foods. By focusing on the big picture of your eating patterns, you’ll notice huge changes in your energy, how your body feels and looks, and even your mood. Plus, it’s so much easier to make your food and meal choices. One thing that is really interesting is that they even recommend looking at the “big picture” of your veggie intake over the course of a week instead of day-by-day. Every week, they recommend shooting for 1½ cups of dark green veggies, 5½ cups of red and orange vegetables, 1½ cups of beans/legumes, 5 cups of starches (sweet potato, squash) and 4 cups of “other vegetables” (green beans, cauliflower, cabbage, mushrooms, cucumbers, onions, zucchini, etc.). That seems like a lot, but it boils down to 2½ cups a day and gives you lots of options for variety! Our Healthy Snacking Guide is a great place to start to incorporate more of the good stuff into your diet. Speaking of which … we have a really fun entertaining idea for you that is all about variety that will let you sneak in some veggie servings. How about creating a healthy charcuterie board the next time you have family and/or friends over? You’ve probably seen charcuterie boards in magazines or online – they are super trendy right now. Basically, it’s a board (and sometimes even an entire table!) covered with snacks like nuts, fruit, uncured deli meats, veggies and dips/spreads. 
If you want to make a charcuterie board, you can use several of the recipes included in the Healthy Snacking Guide >>click here to download for FREE<< (the cauliflower hummus, baked chicken wings, dried plum poppers, to name just a few). Add some goat cheese, cauliflower and broccoli florets, baby carrots, celery, uncured deli meats, shrimp, fresh fruit, or other favorites.

We love snacks and we believe they have an important place strategically in our eating plans. In fact, some studies show that the right kind of snacking can actually improve our overall nutrition and health!
The problem is, a lot of times we don’t plan ahead of time so when we need a bite to eat to hold us over, we end up hitting the vending machine, drive-through, or grabbing a sweet treat from the office snack table. And as we all know, those choices aren’t always the best for our long-term goals. This Facebook live talks about how to incorporate a healthy snacking strategy to stay on point with your nutrition and crush your health and fitness goals. I hope the presentation was helpful! If you are interested in learning more, you can download our FREE Healthy Snacking Guide here. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions. Happy Snacking! Paige Wilcox

I have been road tripping a lot this summer with my family. Generally, I pack snacks for the ride but on this particular trip, I forgot my snack stash.
And I was really hungry. I knew there was a convenience store right off the exit, so I decided to pick up something there. But when I stood in front of the shelves, I have to admit it took me a couple of minutes to figure out the best choice – something that would stop my stomach from rumbling and keep me feeling focused and energized, without a sugar crash or stomach ache later! When you’re hungry, it’s so easy to give into temptations. This video talks about finding the best options to help you stay on point nutritionally when you are in a pinch. I hope you find it helpful! Please let me know if you have any questions at all! I hope this video was helpful to you and now you can make a strategy the next time you find yourself HANGRY in the isles of your local convenience store. If you want more tips and strategies for healthy snacking, be sure to download our FREE Healthy Snacking Guide. This was my first ever Facebook LIVE video. I was super nervous but hey - if it doesn't challenge you - it doesn't change you. Plus - I had a super sweet high tech video studio set up so there is that.... 
I plan on doing more of these live videos so please let me know what you want to chat about! Don't forget to download your Healthy Snacking Guide - you are going to LOVE it!

Much Love, Paige Wilcox Wilcox Wellness & Fitness I am so excited to share this recipe with you today! These brownies contain one of our favorite sweet ingredients – dates! – which have a well-deserved nickname of “nature’s candy.” They are amazing because they’re sweet, fiber-rich, and are fantastic to add to shakes, chia pudding, or … yes … even brownies. They are great to keep stashed in the cupboard. A bonus of this recipe is that it’s pretty easy to experiment with if you like to get a little adventurous in the kitchen. Because there’s no actual cooking involved, you don’t have to worry about having the proper ratios of various ingredients that you need when baking. I have some ideas for switching up this recipe below, but I don’t recommend trying them until you’ve made it at least once so you know the right texture to shoot for. :)  These make tasty, high-fiber treats you can enjoy any time of the day. (Tip: For a grain-free version, try replacing the oats with almond flour. Because almond flour has a higher fat content than oats, depending on its consistency, you likely will have to cut down on the amount of almond butter you use. You also can experiment by using different nut butters.) I hope you LOVE this recipe! If you need help with healthy eating ideas, we've got you covered!
