Anyone who says mushrooms don’t offer much nutritional value, just doesn’t know anything about mushrooms!

They are a powerhouse of nutrients and have amazing antioxidant properties (especially the Japanese varieties!). They’re an excellent source of vitamin D, B vitamins and fibre, amongst many other important things.

Their meaty texture offers a great vegetarian option and they can standalone or be added to pretty much any dish. I’ll be making crab stuffed mushrooms this weekend!

What’s your favourite way to enjoy mushrooms?

As always, I’m just a click of the link in bio away from offering you digestive support! Let’s have a discovery call and see how I can help 😊.

Have you been eating green beans this summer?

Growing up, my family had a vegetable garden that always had green beans and I NEVER ate them. They would yield so much that my dad used to give them out to our neighbours by the grocery bag full! They sure seemed to enjoy them 😊.

Now that I eat them, I see what the fuss is about. They can be a variety of colours too! They’re full of fibre and are rich in vitamin C and beta carotene.

My favourite way to eat them is by roasting in the oven and then tossing them in my homemade lemon vinaigrette once they’re done.

Life is a peach! 🍑

Loaded with vitamins A, C, magnesium, potassium and calcium, peaches are a tasty treat that pack a nutritional punch.

Peaches are actually a member of the rose family and are closely related to almonds. There are over 700 varieties, including nectarines, whose smooth skin is caused by a genetic mutation.

Raw or cooked, savoury or sweet, there are many ways to incorporate peaches into your diet.

Who loves watermelon? 🍉

To be honest, I don’t, but I seem to be on my own with this one 🤷‍♀️.

For those of you that do enjoy it, you’re doing your body a favour by eating it! Watermelon is excellent for hydration (it’s in the name!), but it’s also loaded with Vitamin A, C, potassium and B6. A refreshing snack that’s low sugar, you should get it in you while it’s in season and inexpensive! Make sure you eat the flesh as opposed to juicing it, that’s where the fibre is 😊.

Who loves strawberries? 🍓 🙋‍♀️

An excellent source of vitamin C and manganese, with decent amounts of folate and potassium, they’re a delicious treat that can be enjoyed fresh or frozen! They are rich in antioxidants and plant compounds, which may have benefits for heart health and blood sugar. They’re a great way to break the fast, so eat them first thing to get your digestion moving.

Lemons are amazing! 🍋

Loaded with vitamin C, lemons offer a wide range of nutritional benefits including immunity and digestion.

I often recommend my clients start their day with a glass of room temperature water with half a lemon juiced. This helps to cleanse the liver, as well as creating gastric juices, without using any! This is very important for digestion, as our gastric juices help break our food down.

How do you use lemons?

Uniquely shaped and vibrantly coloured, red dragon fruit packs a nutritional punch too!

Its high vitamin C and iron content offers a special combination. The vitamin C helps the body take in and use the iron more effectively. This is helpful for immunity as well as energy.

Have you ever tried dragon fruit?

Eating the rainbow is crucial for the gut microbiome. As always, I’m just a click of the link in bio away to help you with your digestive concerns 😊.

Who doesn’t love pineapple? 🍍

It’s so sweet and delicious and works well in sweet and savoury dishes.

They are loaded with antioxidants and extremely rich in vitamins C, A, B1 and folic acid.

Also, pineapples are known for being full of digestive enzymes, such as bromelain, that help digest protein!
