This ticks all the boxes and is one of my favourites.
Vegan, plenty of protein and good fats, both of which we need with every meal of the day. I love the flavours and make sure to add plenty of grated lime peel.
This bright pink soup is hard to beat. Full of goodness, appetising colour and texture. It is packed with essential nutrients to improve health and fight disease.
Flaxseeds and other seeds are very good for female hormonal balance and generally help you feel better. This is a great way of adding them to your diet. The crackers can be made plain or add herbs and spices as you like. You can put any spread on or simply a bit of butter.
They are gluten-free and dairy-free.
Onions are a great prebiotic source and when they’ve been gently heated for quite a while, like in this recipe, they are very easy to digest. I use this sauce in stead of tomato sauce on pizza among other things. It’s a great alternative for those who can’t tolerate tomatoes and lectins. But it’s just as great with meats, cheese, sausages, or even just a piece of crispy bread with goat cheese.
