Your body will thank you for this one. Here's why:
♥️Chickpeas. They add fiber for gut health, health-promoting phytonutrients, magnesium, potassium, and plant-based protein. Everyone would benefit from eating more beans. ♥️Anti-inflammatory fats. This recipe, replaces half the mayo of a traditional chicken salad with plant-based yogurt. You see, mayonnaise is high in saturated fat, which is associated with inflammation and poor heart health. Also, because it's high in fat, it can add up in calories pretty quickly. You can choose a healthier mayo by using one made from avocado or olive oil. This will replace the saturated fat with a nice blend of anti-inflammatory fats! ♥️Super spices. This recipe includes turmeric and cardamom, both of which have anti-inflammatory and possible medicinal qualities! The pair go well together, and you can often find them in Indian dishes. Give them a try on roasted cauliflower, along with some onion powder and black pepper.
♥️Nuts. Nuts are another great source of healthy fats and fiber, while they also contain good amounts of Vitamin E and zinc.
