This week's Blush Kitchen is a REALLY important episode to me.

It's our Nowruz // Norooz episode (I prefer the "Norooz" spelling, but apparently Nowruz is better for SEO). Norooz is the Persian New Year, which is also the Spring Equinox and the astrological new year.

My family is Iranian, and this is the most important holiday in our culture.

It's a big event every year, but given our current world affairs, it has taken on a new importance this year.

I made 3 Persian INSPIRED recipes in honor of the holiday, all fully vegan & high protein:

1. Persian tea with a high protein saffron-cardamom date caramel and rose foam

2. A vegan & high protein version of kashkeh bademjan, a Persian eggplant dip

3. A high protein & SUPER light homemade Persian-style cheese (think a feta-like briny cheese) in a stunning traditional Persian "Noon Paneer Sabzi" platter.

Our winter meal prep series comes to a close tonight with 6 5-minute bowls using our original meal prep!

We all know to not talk too much or not complain too much, but there are other things you might be doing, that you may not even be aware are making you unlikable. Watch out for these 3 things!

this is part III of our meal prep series.

in part I, we did our 654321 meal prep system, where we prepped our veggies, proteins, grains, and sauces.

in part II, we made 6 tacos in under 5 minutes each using our meal prep.

and this week, we're doing toast.

as much as I love avocado toast, it doesn't even COMPARE to what we're cooking up today. I'm so excited for you the experience it.

Remember how last week we did our SUPER CHIC 654321 meal prep system?Well, this week we're putting it to work by making TACOS. We make 6 tacos that look like they belong at the trendiest taqueria, in under 5 minutes each, thanks to our meal prep system.Note: if you haven't watched the meal prep ep (ep 268, "My Elevated 6-5-4-3-2-1 Meal Prep System (So You’re Not Eating the Same Thing All Week)"), watched that for the sauce recipes and the premise of the meal prep system!SHOP THIS EPISODE: https://shopmy.us/shop/collections/4149438

we all want to be lucky, but what if it's secretly better that we aren't?!

Meal prep can be a game changer for sticking to your wellness goals.

BUT traditional meal prep has it all wrong.

Making 2-3 meals that you repeat all week long is not only flat and boring, but it's also quite terrible for your gut health. Our gut microbiome needs DIVERSITY to thrive.

The good news?

I'VE GOT THE SOLUTION!

My 654321 meal prep system gives you DIVERSITY, excitement, elegance, and refinement. You spend 1-2 hours once a week batching your whole week, and then you get ENDLESS food combinations and extremely elegant meals on the table in 5 minutes or less all week.

No more sad individually portioned meals. Instead, your kitchen becomes a Michelin star playground.

It's the Lunar New Year, so I think this is the *perfect* time for us to redo our vision boards. I walk you through exactly how I do mine so we can all reach our goals together.

In honor of Valentine’s Day, I wanted to make a meal for my favorite Valentine — my Aussie. I made a three-course, all plant-based, high-protein, high-fiber, all-Vegemite meal while wearing Sea Eagles shorts as an ode to how much I love my Aussie.

The mac and cheese has:

• half the calories, and
• twice the protein as traditional.

The plant-based Vegemite Caesar has:

• half the calories, and
• three times the protein.

And the plant-based Vegemite ice cream has:

• twice the protein
• and even some fiber!

This was my favorite episode ever to film, and the recipes are some of my best work. I truly hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
