Hi sweethearts! It's time for another Medicinal Cooking Collective Challenge, this time it's all about colon and gut health! You can read all about the symptoms and what you should eat or avoid to eat in this post by @eco-alex. This week we are creating a meal that supports a healthy gut and colon, and as you might know, for a full working gut we need a lot of soluble fiber, but at the same time avoid food that causes gases, for example, garlic, cabbage, and legumes.

And as Alex also writes in his post, it's important to eat smaller portions and drink water 1 hour before, not during your meal.

If you feel you need to support your gut a little more, because you suffer from bloating, gases or diarrhea or even bad sleep, here is a very simple recipe you can try out! The only thing you perhaps should not include from this recipe is the red onion!
