Fancy a calorie-free Christmas? …Stop counting them!! Food is about enjoyment, tradition, culture and so much more.<\/p>\n

Christmas dinner is one of my absolute favourites and it’s all about the sides for me.<\/p>\n

Here’s your Christmas dinner… digested.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Potatoes<\/strong> –\u00a0 Good source of potassium and great the next day for even more gut-loving resistant starch.<\/p>\n

Brussels sprouts<\/strong> – A cruciferous veg for a prebiotic punch & 8g fibre.<\/p>\n

Parsnips<\/strong> – Fibre-filled and a good source of vitamin C.<\/p>\n

Carrots<\/strong> – Great source of vitamin A.<\/p>\n

Cranberries<\/strong> – Rich in polyphenols (beneficial plant chemicals) with antioxidant powers.<\/p>\n

Roast turkey<\/strong> – Good source of protein & vitamin B12.<\/p>\n

Nut roast<\/strong> – Ultimate plant diversity with mushrooms, pulses, vege, nuts, seeds and grains to feed your ‘good’ gut bacteria. Check out my Festive Nut Roast recipe here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Christmas pud<\/strong> – Dried fruit packed with prebiotics. If you want to make one yourself, try my quick-and-easy gut-loving Christmas pud recipe<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Chocolate<\/strong> – Great for my tastebuds – and some cocoa brain-boosting powers<\/p>\n

Red wine<\/strong> (if you’re having some!) –\u00a0 Topping up your polyphenols.<\/p>\n

And if you’re feeling a little gassy after yours, just know that’s your gut microbes getting in on the festive fun too!<\/p>\n
