Evidence-Based Nutrition with a Side of Culture and Community

Nutrition con Sabor is a food, culture, and wellness zine created for and by Latinas.

Founded by Krista Linares, MPH, RD, this platform blends evidence-based nutrition with storytelling, heritage, and identity.

We believe you shouldn’t have to choose between your cultura and your well-being.

From personal essays to recipes to real-world nutrition tips, every issue of the zine celebrates food as a source of connection, care, and cultural pride.

Our Mission

For too long, nutrition has looked at cultural foods as a problem to solve, instead of respecting the unique nutrition benefits they have to offer.

We’re here to flip the script.

At Nutrition con Sabor, we uplift Latin American food traditions, honor intergenerational knowledge, and create space for nuanced, culturally rooted wellness. This is nutrition that builds you up — not breaks you down.

  • No diet culture.
  • No erasing heritage.
  • Just good food, good science, and good stories.

Founded by a Registered Dietitian, we communicate the best evidence-based nutrition information in a way that makes sense for you and your life.

All facts are sourced from peer-reviewed scientific research or reliable sources like the USDA, and citations are included.

Personal essays and opinion pieces may occasionally be featured, and will always be clearly marked as such.

Any sponsored content is marked as such and does not affect accuracy of information presented.

About the Editor

I’m Krista Linares — Registered Dietitian, public health nerd, recipe developer, and unapologetically obsessed with Selena.

I created Nutrition con Sabor after my own diagnosis of PCOS left me feeling totally disconnected from the foods I grew up with. Everything “healthy” felt bland, restrictive, or just… not meant for me.

So I went back to school, became an RD, and built the platform I wish I’d had — one that says: you can eat arroz con pollo and take care of yourself at the same time.
