Anyone can make and enjoy these 6 simple leaky gut dinners.

I love the kitchen (and my essential kitchen items!). I’m fairly certain I’ve made that abundantly clear by now. But most days during the week, I don’t have time to rack my brain around new and interesting recipes.

That’s the thing about the kitchen and about healing the gut in general – it doesn’t need to be a big production.

It’s not easy giving up (at least temporarily) some of your favorite foods in order to heal. But think of it as a way to try new things; discover things you never would have otherwise.

This mind shift was critical during my intense healing phase(s).

For today, let’s keep it simple.

6 Simple Leaky Gut Dinners

Note

Not all of these ideas are full dinners. Because no, no I do not think eating Butternut squash cubes for an entire meal is healing. They can be mixed-and-matched and/or added to other dinner items.

Roasted Butternut Squash Cubes

This idea is great to be served as a side dish or even a dessert. If you choose to try it for dessert, simply pour some full-fat coconut milk on top and sprinkle with cinnamon.

DIY Jumbo Side Salad

It’s so simple to toss all ingredients in a bowl and eat up.

Again, this is not a stand alone meal, but instead as an addition to another side and meat or fish.

If you have SIBO and are following a low-FODMAP diet, there is information about spring mix and many other fruits and vegetables in Reasonable SIBO so you can create many DIY Jumbo Side Salads.

Honey-Sage Chicken Thighs

When people begin the healing journey, they oftentimes think healing equals boneless, skinless chicken breasts and broccoli.

Not true, not even a little bit – not at all.

Fat free is not the healing answer. I can promise you that.

Salad and Broth

Here’s an idea for leaky gut healing of a few things to put together for dinner.

While healing, some nights all I wanted was something light and soothing.

3 things included

1. DIY Jumbo Side Salad (see above)
2. A cup of homemade bone broth (found on pages 53 – 54 in The Leaky Gut Meal Plan)
3. On-the-Go Turkey Breakfast Muffins (found on page 70 in The Leaky Gut Meal Plan)

I’d sometimes eat the turkey muffins on their own or I’d break them up and toss over the salad.

Roasted Soft Fruit ‘n Veggies 

One night, I had a lot of random things in the fridge. I cut up some cucumber, zucchini, one apple and added some organic, diced butternut squash (that I picked up from Costco).

I threw them all in a bread loaf pan with some olive oil and sea salt. Hard to believe that roasted and soft could mesh, but they did. And it was great!

Creamy Coconut-Banana Milk Shake

And dessert. You didn’t think I’d ever expect you to engage in healing without dessert, right?!

 

And there you have 6 simple leaky gut dinners, or things to put together to make a dinner.

Most of these are just simple ideas vs. full recipes.
