Benefits
Chickpeas are high in protein so will keep you full and help maintain healthy glucose, insulin and lipid levels while warding off hunger and sweet cravings.
Onions are a great prebiotic and are high in vitamin C, assisting with immune health.
Baby spinach is high in fiber, which supports healthy digestion by promoting regular bowel movements. For some people, this can help prevent constipation, a common cause of bloating. The fiber in spinach acts as a prebiotic, feeding beneficial gut bacteria, which can contribute to a balanced gut microbiome and reduce bloating over time.
Parsley is full of polyphenols which are anti-inflammatory. Parsley helps promote efficient digestion, supports liver health and bacterial health and may assist in relieving indigestion.
