Though the natural year began with the winter solstice, a new calendar year is now upon us in much of the world. Regardless, with a new year, resolutions or thoughts of new beginnings often naturally occupy our minds. In HumanaNatura’s four-part natural health system, we encourage action on these progressive ideas, whenever and wherever they occur. And perhaps the easiest or most foundational way to begin the year in new, healthier, and more powerful ways is to ensure that the health-essential and natural empowering meals we eat have all three of these qualities.

While healthier eating may seem difficult, it’s actually quite straightforward and requires just a bit of determination, especially when prepare meals the HumanaNatura way and follow HumanaNatura’s OurPlate  healthy eating guidelines. Check out the sample meal photo and instructions to see an example of how simple optimal natural eating can be, and be sure to subscribe to follow our healthy meal and other informative natural health posts!

Importantly, today’s sample HumanaNatura meal includes meat and is proportioned for both ketogenic (very low carb) and OMAD (one meal a day) eating – with about 1800 calories and 70 percent of them from fats – but options are included if you are vegetarian, eat non-ketogenically, or have meals more frequently than once a day.

Our meal begins by pan-searing a small grass-fed tri-tip steak in a bit of olive oil on all sides, and then cooking the steak to taste on lower heat with a bit of butter, diced garlic, and black pepper. As the steak cooks and then cools for a few minutes, a generous raw salad is prepared with mixed greens, a sliced avocado, some coarsely diced brie cheese and cucumber, a few grape tomatoes, and part of a seeded and chopped orange bell pepper. The steak is then sliced into bite-sized pieces and plated as shown, and the whole meal is topped with olive oil and balsamic vinegar, raw sunflower seeds, an optional shake of nutritional yeast, and black pepper and parsley flakes. This simple and simply delicious meal is then served promptly – not that waiting likely came to mind.

If you eat vegetarian – HumanaNatura supports lacto-ovo but not vegan diets – the meat can be replaced with a four or six-egg omelette and additional cheese. For a non-ketogenic version of the meal, replace some of the cheese and avocado with berries and/or a cooked starch. If you eat more than once a day, the meal of course easily can be scaled down for fewer total calories. And if you require more calories, the meal can be made larger, or supplemented with nuts and celery. In all cases, we hope you will enjoy our new beginnings salad meal, and perhaps as you plan other progressive or health-increasing changes in your life.
