30 plants per week challenge

Picture
Here's challenge for you - hitting that 30 plants per week target! It might make you think of adding that seed or leaf mix to your meal, or perhaps shaking up those regular veges you tend to have over and over again. The latest research tells us that 30 is a good number to aim for as this will help to keep that good gut bateria fed and create biodiversification which is key to a healthy tummy. 

Our in-house Sports Dietitian, Kirrily Tutt, spoke at length about the importance of building and maintaining good gut bacteria at our Brisbane Women's BREATHE.NOURISH.RIDE. clinic.

The thought of 30 might seem unreachable to many, but there are some great ways to get the extra plants in, here are some examples:

  • Salads are an easy way to add plenty of plants to your meal: this salad mix contains 12 different plants! Rocket, endive, kale, red cabbage, red capsicum, cucumber, coriander, tomatoes, pomegranate seeds, roast pumpkin, pumpkin seeds, hemp seeds.
  • Try adding veges to your breakfast - some chargrilled capsicum, tomato and mushrooms are a nice addition to that egg and bacon brekky. Plus pop some herbs on top.
  • For cereal breakfasts, find a good seed and nut mix to throw on top, the more diverse the mix the better. 
  • Coleslaw is a great way to boost your plant intake. We love buying a pre-prepared hassel-free bag from the supermarket and adding our own ingredients such grated radish, cucumber, apple, fresh herbs and chilli.

Still think you'll have trouble getting all these plants in? We've taken the liberty of putting this list together to help you out :) CLICK HERE

Remember, fresh, frozen, dried fruits and vegetables all count!
