Sweet Potato Salad
This salad is simple to make so it’s a great one to have midweek when time is limited.
As with all meals in the BiomeMD® protocol, each ingredient serves a specific role in the body:
-
Quinoa and kidney beans are high in prebiotics and fibre, which help increase the number of healthy bacteria in the gut and keep you fuller for longer.
-
Watercress, sweet potato and grapefruit are high in antioxidants and nutrients to help reduce inflammation, eliminate toxins and assist with cell function.
-
Avocados and olive oil are high in monounsaturated fats, making them potent anti-inflammatory foods that help with brain health.
So, it’s delicious and nutritious….
