OUR EXPERT SAYS…<br />
Vegetarian Bolognese<br />
This is a great recipe to batch<br />
cook and store in the freezer for<br />
busy evenings. The large variety<br />
of vegetables offers a myriad of<br />
good bacteria, promoting healthy<br />
bacterial diversity in the gut.<br />
The carrots and red peppers<br />
are loaded with vitamin C and A,<br />
benefitting the immune system<br />
and skin. These well-cooked<br />
vegetables will be easy to digest,<br />
while rich in fibre, which should<br />
help stable blood sugar levels.<br />
I would suggest opting for<br />
fresh vegetable stock instead of<br />
concentrate, to benefit from the<br />
added antioxidants, and enhance<br />
the nutrition-density of this recipe.<br />
Grilled Asparagus<br />
& Pesto Spaghetti<br />
I love the use of fresh basil and<br />
parsley. Not only do they add<br />
flavour, but they also offer a<br />
myriad of nutritional qualities!<br />
Parsley is well-known for<br />
promoting bowel motility and<br />
decreasing bloating, while basil is<br />
highly regarded for its immuneenhancing<br />
properties.<br />
The basil and pine nuts make a<br />
feisty immune-boosting combo,<br />
while the nuts also offer a dose<br />
of healthy fats for satiety, and<br />
minerals, such as magnesium (for<br />
sleep), zinc (for skin), and iron (for<br />
healthy red blood cells).<br />
You could swap asparagus for a<br />
more seasonal vegetable, such as<br />
purple sprouting broccoli.<br />
