Mixed Bean & Sprout Salad
This bean, veggie and sprout salad is packed with gut-loving plants and makes the perfect lunch to prep ahead for busy days. One bowl gives you a solid fibre boost and helps spread that fibre out across the day (instead of trying to cram it all in at dinner!).
Ingredients:
-
1 can (400g) mixed beans, drained and rinsed (kidney beans, chickpeas, black beans)
-
1 cup alfalfa or mung bean sprouts
-
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
-
1 small cucumber, diced
-
1 small red onion, finely chopped
-
1 handful fresh parsley or coriander, chopped
-
2–3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
-
Juice of 1 lemon
-
Salt & pepper to taste
Instructions:
-
Drain and rinse canned beans, or cook dried beans ahead of time.
-
In a large bowl, combine cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and herbs.
-
Fold in sprouts and beans.
-
Whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Toss everything together.
-
Enjoy chilled or at room temperature. Can be prepped in advance for an easy lunch.
Tip: Top with cooked chicken breast, turkey, or tofu cubes for extra protein!
Doing everything right, but more fibre only makes you feel worse?
You asked for it, so I'm putting it together.
Fibre for Grumpy Guts is coming.
Maybe you’re having oats for breakfast, seeds on everything and plenty of veg, and you’re still bloated or waiting for a decent poo. Maybe you added more fibre because everyone said it would help, and you felt worse. Or you’ve cut out onion, garlic, bread and beans and you’re still not comfortable.
Often the trouble isn’t fibre itself. It’s the mix of fibre types, how much, and the order you add them in.
Imagine easier poos, less bloating, and enjoying more of the foods you love.
That’s what my new mini course will help you with: which fibre to start with, how much and when, and how to build up from there.
Grab my free Fibre for Grumpy Guts starter guide and I’ll add you to the waitlist too. Waitlist members get first access on Wednesday 11 November and the founding price of $37 for 3 days only, plus two live check-ins with me. After that, it’s $57 for everyone.
