Choose plant-based or pasture-raised dairy yoghurt as you like; be sure it’s plain with no added sugar, oils or preservatives. Yoghurt is a good source of gut-healthy probiotics. - BEANSPROUT & SCALLION FRITTATA with Cilantro & Black Sesame ~ A fusion frittata that is light, simple and easy to digest.  Spice it up with chilli, sesame and cleansing herbs like cilantro if you wish.   - MISO SOUP WITH BEANSPROUTS & BOK CHOY ~This soup is restorative and gentle on the digestive system, very low-carb, fat-free with Mung Bean Sprouts, which are a good source of plant protein and fibre + greens for vitamins & minerals.  [MISO](https://www.thespruceeats.com/what-is-miso-p2-3376832) is fermented soybean paste.  Fermented foods have gut-healthful bacteria.  Miso has both beneficial prebiotic insoluble fibre + probiotic properties.  [Ginger](https://theherbalacademy.com/ginger-every-day/) is a powerful plant rhizome full of anti-inflammatory, antiviral properties + soothing, warming and moving actions.   - MISO ROASTED FISH & BROCCOLI WITH GREENS Sheet Pan Dinner ~ A light and simple sheet pan dinner that is ready in 15mins; roasted fish and greens with lemon miso fusion flavours. - GLASS NOODLE RAINBOW VEGETABLE SALADwith Bean Sprouts & Peanuts ~ “Eat the rainbow” rice noodle salad full of vibrant vegetables; a light & fresh bowl full of crunch!  The beansprouts + peanuts add plant protein to this dish; you can serve this warm by lightly cooking the vegetable or raw at room temperature. - ROASTED SQUASH SALAD WITH PEANUT SATAY SAUCE ~ Roasted winter squash wedges and seeds atop a simple vegetable salad with a peanut satay sauce.
