Granola bars
These are great energy bars. Goji berries are the most nutritionally dense fruit. Flaxseeds are high in Omega-3 fats and dietary fibre.
Raw beetroot salad
What will this recipe make?
Beetroots are a great source of fiber, folate, manganese, potassium, iron, and vitamin C. Raw beetroots and beetroot juice have been associated with improved blood flow, lower blood pressure, and increased exercise performance. You can also grate the beetroot coarsely rather than slicing if you prefer.

Caramelised Onion Sauce
Onions are a great prebiotic source and when they’ve been gently heated for quite a while, like in this recipe, they are very easy to digest. I use this sauce in stead of tomato sauce on pizza among other things. It’s a great alternative for those who can’t tolerate tomatoes and lectins. But it’s just as great with meats, cheese, sausages, or even just a piece of crispy bread with goat cheese.
