If you're looking for a new delicious snack, I have the perfect one for you: grilled edamame! Edamame is packed with protein and fibre, making it a great snack! Start by preheating the oven to 400F.... In a bowl, add 2 cups (500ml) of frozen edamame, 2 tbsp (30ml) of fresh parmesan (grated), 1/2 tsp (2.5ml) of chili powder, 1/2 tsp (2.5ml) of paprika, some salt and pepper to taste, and 1 tbsp (15ml) of olive oil. Mix all together. Place the edamame on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper. Bake in the center of the oven for about 20 minutes. For a crunchier result, turn off the oven and let them sit for another 30 minutes. This is a great snack that you can prep for the whole week! Interested in more healthy snacks you can prep ahead?

Happy Easter to all my followers! This is a friendly reminder from your Dietitian that it is completely normal to enjoy some extra treats right now. Enjoy your holiday! If you need a fun idea for leftover mini eggs, try making these marshmallow cereal bars. Use your favourite Rice Krispies squares recipe but switch up your cereal and add chopped chocolate eggs. I used Cheerios for some extra fibre and PC milk chocolate eggs in this recipe, and it turned out perfectly! #Zehrs #EasterTreats #FunWithFood #HolidayIdeas
