Who doesn’t love a collection of delicious recipes for healthy one pot meals? One pot meals are easy to throw together, and you can also get out of the kitchen faster with less dishes to clean up after enjoying your meal! I definitely call that a win-win!
All of the recipes in this roundup are gluten and dairy-free. Why? Because as a naturopathic doctor, one of the ways that I help you to maximize your health and energy is by personalizing your diet to best fuel your body. The foods that your best friend may swear makes him or her feel amazing, may be the exact foods that are causing inflammation for you (and vice-versa). Although the way in which your body responds to specific foods is very individualized, gluten and dairy present as the most common issues discovered for my patients via food sensitivity testing and through the completion of an Elimination Diet.
Have you ever investigated whether certain ingredients in your diet are causing the chronic symptoms you may experiencing, like digestive upset, bloating, eczema, acne, headaches and fatigue? If you’d like to learn more about these types of food reactions, I invite you to download a free copy of my eBook, “A Naturopathic Guide to Identifying your Food Sensitivities“.
If you think that gluten and dairy-free meals are bland and boring, these 25 healthy one pot meals will definitely change your outlook! Give them a try, and let me know your favourites in the comments below!
