In this nutrition webisode, Margaux J Rathbun, B.S., N.T.P. shares with us her favorite healthy snacks that are great alternatives to a lot of the conventional snack products found at grocery stores.

Got a sore throat? Feeling a bit under the weather? Margaux Jean, B.S., N.T.P., shows us how to make a delicious and nutritious smoothie! It is full of immune-boosting vitamin E and manganese. It’s also a good source of vitamin A, B6, C, and zinc. Honey has antimicrobial properties which is why it is the perfect food for soothing a sore throat. It can also kill certain bacteria that may be causing the infection. The almonds and flax seed oil give this smoothie a nice boost of “good fats” to help your heart, skin, hair, and brain stay healthy. The banana is a good source of potassium and dietary fiber. Give this smoothie a try today!

Wait, did you say nutrition? I thought this was a plus fashion magazine?

Yes, we did! There’s NOTHING worse than people thinking plus girls don’t care about nutrition or fitness! And, at Skorch, we want to bring you more content that think you’re going to love (including more fitness! shhhhh). There are many things that can help you live confidently, and fashion is one, nutrition is another. And, being that Margaux is a fashion & nutrition girl, we are excited to have her apart of the team. She’s a long time friend of mine in the Portland Fashion scene and an advocate for women to feel their best at any size. She has lived the life of a plus size woman and I believe has some great nutrition tips we can all benefit from. Please take a minute to watch her intro video to learn more about why Margaux has partnered with Skorch.
