Sprouts are a superfood because they have high enzyme counts and are easier to digest than the beans and legumes that they grew from. For such a small plant, they contain equal amounts of nutrients to their larger counterparts, so a hand full of broccoli sprouts has the same nutrient value as a head of broccoli. Packed with vitamins and minerals, sprouts should definitely be a key component in your diet if you’re interested in staying strong and healthy this year, which I’m sure you are!
Probiotics are absolutely necessary to your health and well-being because they help promote the growth of healthy gut flora in your intestines. Without enough probiotics, toxins can escape from your intestines and make you very sick. Yucky! Sauerkraut is an amazing food choice that is packed with probiotics to keep you healthy!
Below, we’ve created a simple vegan salad that is quick and easy to prepare (about 15 minutes) and refreshing for lunch. Packed with lots of flavor and nutrients, with each bite taken, you’ll be on the path to a healthier and better life. Enjoy!
