The Health & Wellbeing Studio

May is the perfect time to start ramping up on all the immune boosting foods that you can handle in a sitting as we head into the winter months. As you know, we’re massive advocates for using food as medicine, and Regi’s Immune Boosting Mushroom Soup is no exception. Mushrooms, onion, garlic, rosemary, thyme, apple cider vinegar – need we say more?!

Regi’s recipe is 100% plant based, however, you could always add in some of your freezer stash of bone broth for added gut healing benefits, if you do include some animal products in your diet.

We love adding jewels of pomegranate to salads that have a bit more guts to add some tart sweetness and beautiful colour. This salad can be made for a full 5 days of lunches at the start of the week to grab and go…
Thinly sliced cavolo nero or kale leaves, leftover cooked quinoa or freekeh, a handful of mixed seeds, pomegranate arils, and a light dressing. You can also top with some grilled haloumi, leftover chicken, lightly roasted cashews or chickpeas for some added protein.

You can also check out our Healthy Recipes page on the website for Bianca’s Moroccan Lamb Roast with Pomegranate and Pistachio Salad.

Figs are back, kids!!
For their fleeting season, we love adding fresh or grilled figs to salads and grazing platters for flavour, sweetness and texture. Throw together a few handfuls of peppery rocket leaves, sliced figs, a handful of walnuts and a simple dressing for a gorgeous salad, or pair some BBQ’d quartered figs with some crumbled goats cheese, a few thyme leaves and a drizzle of honey for a snazzy starter or dessert.
Figs are a good source of fibre, copper and vitamins B5 and B6.
