You’re a freestyle foodie

Confident, Inspired, Adventerous

 

so, what does a “freestyle foodie” mean?

You live to eat! In the kitchen, you feel confident, inspired, and full of excitement to see what you can create this time around. When you hit the grocery store, you go in with an open mind, see ingredients that look fresh and inspiring, and choose to try new things regularly. You are not afraid to fail in the kitchen and have the skills you need to execute a wide variety of different cuisines. You value FUN in the kitchen.

 

Your Strengths:

  • Confident

  • Inspired

  • Adventurous

Areas For Improvement:

  1. Balance

  • Organization

Although meal prep might come easily…

 

you might still be struggling to really hone in on your body’s unique needs, despite the ease you feel with aspects of prepping.

Perhaps you’re dealing with a chronic health condition or have been advised to follow a specific diet to help reduce inflammation. Because you’re such a free spirit, the organization needed to execute a specific style of eating can sometimes feel overwhelming.

You might also find yourself indulging in certain foods you know you should avoid. Balancing your enthusiasm with education around what your specific body needs could help you achieve the health goals you’ve set for yourself.
