Healthy Eating, In The Kitchen

While intimidating to many there are many reasons to include artichokes into your diet. Artichokes are low-fat vegetables high in fiber, minerals, vitamins, and antioxidants. In fact, for less than 70 calories, artichokes are packed with 7 grams of fiber, and almost 4 gms of protein. We know fiber is good for our gut, but artichokes have a unique form of fiber called inulin which works as a powerful probiotic to our good gut bacteria. In a study in the journal, Gut, inulin was found to drive the production of a compound called propionate, a short-chain fatty acid produced by gut bacteria.

Dr NP, Healthy Eating, In The Kitchen

Nancy brought this homegrown recipe in for Thrive to try and we could not be more pleased with how it turned out! Sadly, Dr. Palermo didn't bring enough for seconds! The black rice is packed with nutrients that you do not get when using white or whole-grain rice. The shitake mushrooms pack a meaty punch that replicates a texture you often find in a stir fry dish and the dressing is a perfect combination of salty and sweet that is sure to make you come back for seconds. We cannot recommend this recipe enough. Give it a try this weekend and impress your family with this protein and nutrient-packed dish! Forbidden Rice and Edamame Salad 2 c. black rice ¼ t Himalayan salt Water per package directions 2 garlic...
