Fresh, real ingredients are the key to eating healthier. Many of us do not prioritise vegetables. With too many processed and packaged foods available, we tend to slip into bad buying habits.
Doing a Whole 30 at the start of each year helps me re-establish a better connection with whole unprocessed foods, and going to my local green grocer is actually fun for me. I get excited to see what’s new and what’s on special, picking up a heap of bargains and knowing I’m feeding my family well is a win-win. Making sure we eat lots of fibre is also important and vegetables are a great source.
This recipe can help you use up all your spare vegetables. It is my go to for a quick meal that I can just about throw anything into!
You could omit the legumes to make it Whole 30 compliant.
It is a regular star on our meat free Monday roster, as I know everyone will eat it and give me no complaints.
