Fueling My Mind, Body, and Confidence…the Balanced Way
You know I’m all about living intentionally. From how we speak to ourselves to how we nourish our bodies. Today, I’m giving you a peek into something that’s become a huge part of my lifestyle: my pescatarian routine.
I’ve been eating pescatarian for a while now, and it’s honestly changed the way I feel more energy, clearer skin, and a better relationship with food. Whether you’re curious about cutting back on red meat or you’re just looking for some healthy inspiration, here’s what a typical day on my plate looks like.
Breakfast: Light but Energizing
Meal: Avocado Toast with Poached Egg + Iced Matcha
Mornings are my “set the tone” time, so I keep breakfast simple but balanced. I’ll mash half an avocado on multigrain toast, sprinkle a little sea salt and chili flakes, and top it with a poached egg for protein.
I pair it with an iced matcha latte made with oat milk and a drizzle of honey, my go-to for sustained energy without the caffeine crash.
Why I love it:
It’s quick, satisfying, and full of healthy fats to keep me glowing from the inside out.
Lunch: Fresh, Filling, & Balanced
Meal: Mediterranean Shrimp Bowl
Lunch is when I go colorful. The more colors on the plate, the better I feel. My bowl usually includes:
- Grilled shrimp seasoned with garlic and lemon
- A base of quinoa or brown rice
- Cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and feta
- Drizzle of olive oil and a squeeze of lemon juice
Why I love it:
It’s high in protein, keeps me full for hours, and gives that “vacation on a plate” vibe. It’s also meal-prep friendly if you’re busy during the week.
Snack: Afternoon Pick-Me-Up
Meal: Greek Yogurt with Berries + Almond Butter
If I’m working on blog posts or editing videos, I reach for something light but rich in nutrients. Greek yogurt with a spoon of almond butter and fresh berries hits the spot.
Why I love it:
It’s great for gut health, gives me a quick boost of energy, and keeps sugar cravings under control.
Dinner: Comfort Food, the Pescatarian Way
Meal: Baked Salmon, Roasted Veggies & Sweet Potato Mash
Dinner is where I wind down. I love baking salmon with lemon, garlic, and a touch of honey for that perfect glaze. On the side, I roast zucchini, bell peppers, and asparagus with olive oil, plus a creamy sweet potato mash.
Why I love it:
It’s satisfying, heart-healthy, and perfect for winding down after a long day of content creation or writing.
(Pro tip: add a glass of white wine if you’re feeling fancy… balance, not restriction!)
Dessert or Late-Night Treat
Meal: Dark Chocolate + Herbal Tea
I end the night with a few squares of dark chocolate and a mug of chamomile or peppermint tea. It feels like self-care… sweet, cozy, and calming.
Final Thoughts
Being pescatarian isn’t about restriction. It’s about balance. I still enjoy treats, I still eat intuitively, but I’ve found what works for my body.
If you’re thinking about trying a pescatarian lifestyle, start small. Replace one meal at a time, experiment with recipes, and listen to your body. You’ll be surprised at how much lighter and energized you feel.
