Lindsay Pleskot, RD, BSc,
Founder & Registered Dietitian
Hi! I’m Lindsay, Registered Dietitian, Momma, and founder of LindsayPleskot.com. I am so happy you’ve landed here!
I believe that food is about so much more than just nutrition. Although I’m super passionate about the power of food to fuel and nourish our cells from the inside out, true “health” requires mindful incorporation of practices for Physical (Body), Mental (Mind), and Emotional (Soul) wellbeing.
At the end of the day I just want to Make Food Feel Good and I truly believe that this is possible for everyone! Whether you’re a busy Momma or entrepreneur trying to juggle it all, looking for balance and to be at peace with food and your body, or motivated to get more out of the foods you eat, I look forward to being a resource to help make food feel good for you!

![You’ve gotta try this gorge Summer Berry Salad!
Ok it’s not quite summer but this literally tastes like summer in your mouth. I grabbed all of these fresh ingredients from @urbanfarecanada (p.s. is it not the nicest experience shopping in there?) and made this salad in less than 15 minutes (homemade candied almonds included)! [AD]
Here’s what you’ll need for 2 salads
3 cups spinach
⅓ cup blueberries
3 large strawberries, sliced
50 g goat cheese
2 Tbsp candied nuts (see how I made my almonds below)
A few thin slices of red onion
1 small avocado
Fresh herbs like mint or basil to finish
Balsamic dressing
*to make the candied almonds, add ¼ cup slivered almonds and 1 Tbsp granulated sugar to a small frying pan. Heat over medium low heat until almond pieces become golden brown and sugar starts to crystallize and form clumps of nuts (5-7 minutes). Stir frequently to make sure they don’t burn.
Combine all ingredients in a bowl or large serving platter, drizzle with dressing and enjoy!
