Broccoli mushroom tofu (ZOE)
As our US Medical Director says: “The single greatest predictor of a healthy gut microbiome is the diversity of plants in your diet.”
Research shows that people who eat around 30 different plants every week have much greater microbial diversity than those who eat just 10. While 30 might sound like a lot, when you realise this grain bowl will get you halfway there in a single meal, it feels a lot more achievable.
All of these different plants provide dietary fibre and polyphenols which are important for feeding and maintaining your gut microbiome, which in turn, looks after you.
The quantities below are for a single serve but you could double (or triple!) all of these for meal prep and you could use whichever grains, veggies or seeds you love or have on hand for a truly personalised and plant-packed bowl.
