I’ve had many clients who craved creamy foods.

Before we worked together, they each tended to reach for ice cream or cheese of some sort to fulfill their cravings.

Yes, these foods taste terrific and are nice to have on occasion, but ultimately you don’t want to be reaching for these foods on a consistent basis to curb a craving.

What’s an easy alternative?

Avocados!

Avocados have a nice creamy texture and are chalk full of wonderful minerals- 14 to be exact!

Because they’re high in iron and copper, they help with regenerating red blood cells, which helps you to gain energy and handle stress much better.

So, next time you crave something creamy reach for an avocado, chop it up, drizzle some olive oil on it, along with some garlic powder, and dig in!

Like the idea of feeling energized and focused on a daily basis, not just once and awhile?

This past weekend I ate more salt then I normally would.

Guess, what?

I ended up craving sugar (something sweet) MUCH more then I normally would too!

Why?

Because some foods are more balanced in nature, while others are more extreme in nature.

Those foods (like sugar and salt) are more extreme.

When you eat them, you’ll notice you eventually, usually 2-3 hours later, receive a craving, or an urge for something to eat that’s the opposite of what you consumed.

For instance, I ate a salty dinner, then before bed I wanted something sweet.

Since I ate an extreme food (salt), my body became imbalanced.

My body then sent me a craving for something sweet to balance it.

So, there are many ways to curb these cravings, but let me share what I did this weekend.

I made some mochi -Japanese sweet rice patty.

It might not sound exciting, but don’t let the foreign name fool you, it’s delicious!

It comes in a flat square package, you cut it into small squares and bake it for 10-11 minutes.

Once it’s done, you remove it from the oven and drizzle maple syrup or agave nectar on it.

Both sweeteners are wonderfully sweet and are much better for your body.

And, you’ll find it much easier to focus, be productive and feel good after eating this vs. a cookie or something made with sugar.

After eating my wonderful mochi, I felt calm, happy, and glad I ate something better for my body.

And in the morning when I woke up, I felt good, energized and ready to focus.

Had I eaten sugar, I probably would have woken up feeling tired, foggy and very distracted.

Food has this much of an effect on us!
