Welcome Dupa!

One of the questions I’m asked most often about the Mediterranean Diet is: “What do you eat for snacks?” I always smile when I hear this because it brings me right back to afternoons spent in Crete.

In Mediterranean countries, snacking looks a bit different than what many of us are used to. I remember being invited to sit down with locals for a small afternoon bite. Sometimes it was fresh fruit, other times a simple plate of bread with olives and cheese. Once, I was served a tiny salad with sardines and dried figs. On a farm I visited, the snack was walnuts with cheese and a cup of tea. Occasionally, there might be a small sweet with coffee, but more often, it was a savory mix of wholesome, traditional foods—fruit, nuts, bread, olives, and cheese.

Thrive Through the Holidays the Mediterranean Way

As the holidays approach, many of us fall into a familiar pattern of overindulgence and undernourishment. But what if this year could be different?

Imagine making it through the season feeling energized, light, and deeply nourished—without sacrificing flavor or joy. That’s the power of the Mediterranean Diet. By focusing on anti-inflammatory, whole foods like vibrant vegetables, extra virgin olive oil, legumes, herbs, and healthy proteins, you can support your health while savoring every bite.
