Roasted Miso Potatoes

Know what’s one of the biggest causes of poor gut health?

Sure, too much sugar and regular doses of antibiotics are both bad news for our gut microbes.๐Ÿจ๐Ÿ˜ต

Yet another COMMON cause of poor gut health is lack of fiber.

Processed grains, like white rice and white pasta, have had all the fiber drained from them. 

Leaving you with white carbs that turn straight into glucose in the bloodstream and SKYROCKET your blood sugar levels.

Let’s fix that.

Sweet potatoes are packed with gut enriching fiber and other nutrients.

My Roasted Miso Potatoes dish gives you a sweet tasting health bomb of fiber, with which to feed your gut microbes…๐Ÿ ๐Ÿ˜€

Fiber that stays in your digestive tract and unleashes a flood of gut enriching benefits.

Even better, my Roasted Miso Potatoes dish is super quick and easy to make.โฒ๏ธ

Simply slice and dicing some sweet potatoes…๐Ÿ 

Drizzle them in a sweet tasting white miso, yogurt and rice vinegar sauce…

And then shove in the oven.

Presto!

A happier, healthier gut awaits:)

Roasted Aubergine and Tomato Stew

Did you know that rather than a vegetable…

Aubergines (eggplants) are actually a fruit?

Why? Because they grow from a flowering plant and contain seeds.

More importantly, eggplants are SUPER gut healthy!

They’re nutrient-dense, high in fiber and PACKED with antioxidants!

In fact. some studies suggest they can help combat chronic diseases, like heart diseases and high blood sugar. 

So naturally, I had to put together a recipe with aubergine as the hero ingredient.

My Roasted Aubergine and Tomato Stew recipe also contains onions, cherry tomatoes and chickpeas…

And cooking it is as easy as throwing the chopped ingredients in a baking dish and leaving in the oven.

Quinoa Tabbouleh

Quinoa is the supergrain of the future.๐ŸŒพ๐Ÿงก

Awareness is fast rising that we need to eat less factory farmed meatโ€ฆ

For the sake of our health, the environment and animal welfare.๐Ÿฎ

This means getting protein from other sources.๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ

One day, this could involve eating more protein packed bugs (most likely in powdered form).๐Ÿ›

But until that day arrives, quinoa is one of the most protein rich foods around.๐ŸŒพ

What’s more, quinoa has almost DOUBLE the fiber of most other grains.

It’s also rich in iron, magnesium and Riboflavin.

So it’s arguably the most gut healing grain around, along with a powerful source of protein.

In my Quinoa Tabbouleh recipe, you’ll also find juicy tomatos, fresh cucumber, bell pepper and red onion…๐Ÿ…๐Ÿฅ’

Combined with finely chopped herbs and a drizzle with lemon juice.

So it’s a deliciously cooling dish, perfect for the hot days of summer.ย 
And quantifiably gut healing in many different ways.๐Ÿฅ—๐Ÿงก

Matcha Energy Balls

Matcha has skyrocketed in popularity these last few years.

And not just the tea variety.๐Ÿต

You can now get matcha shots, lattes, and even desserts. ๐Ÿก

Matcha comes from tea leaves, but tea leaves prepared in an extra special way.๐Ÿƒ

To make matcha, the tea plants are covered 20-30 days before harvest. 

This reduces direct sunlight and allows the level of chlorophyll in the leaves to go up.

Why’s higher chlorophyll a good thing?

Because chlorophyll is high in amino acids and health enriching antioxidants. 

In fact, studies show that thanks to is high chlorophyll content… 

Matcha offers benefits for the liver… heart health… brain function… and even weight loss.๐Ÿค—๐Ÿ’—
