These Asian Chicken Patties are a flavour-packed, protein-rich recipe that perfectly fits into an anti-inflammatory lifestyle. Quick to make and naturally gluten and dairy-free, they are a versatile dish the whole family will enjoy. Light yet satisfying, they can be paired with a crisp salad, wrapped in lettuce leaves, or served alongside roasted vegetables for a complete meal.

One of the many benefits of this recipe is its support for fertility and hormonal health. Protein is essential for maintaining blood sugar balance and steady energy levels, both of which are crucial when trying to conceive. The anti-inflammatory spices and fresh herbs typically used in Asian cooking also play a role in calming the body’s inflammatory response, supporting gut health, and helping to regulate hormones. These factors are all key when looking to optimise fertility.

For members on the Eat Burn Sleep platform, additional guidance on fertility support is available under Personalized Advice. This resource provides a detailed examination of the lifestyle shifts, nutrition, and supplementation that can support you on your fertility journey while reducing inflammation. Pairing those strategies with simple, nutrient-dense recipes, such as these Asian Chicken Patties, helps you create a practical and enjoyable routine.

If you are looking for a dish that is full of flavour, easy to prepare, and supportive of your overall health and fertility, these patties are the perfect choice. Why not try our Asian Meatballs?

If you’re short on time but still want a healthy, nourishing dinner, this Lazy Teriyaki Salmon is the perfect choice. It’s super simple to make and requires minimal preparation, ideal for busy weeknights when you want something delicious without spending hours in the kitchen.

For best results, choose wild salmon, which not only offers incredible flavour but also boasts an impressive nutritional profile. Wild salmon is naturally rich in vitamin B3 (niacin), which supports healthy digestion, improves circulation, and helps convert food into energy efficiently. It’s also a great source of vitamin B12, essential for red blood cell formation, brain function, and supporting a healthy nervous system.

In addition, wild salmon is an excellent provider of selenium, a powerful antioxidant that plays a key role in protecting cells from oxidative stress, supporting thyroid function, and boosting immune health. These nutrients work together to promote overall vitality, making this meal as beneficial for your body as it is satisfying for your taste buds.

The teriyaki marinade delivers a perfect balance of sweet and savoury, coating the salmon in a flavour-packed layer that caramelises beautifully in the oven or under the grill. With just a few minutes of active cooking time, you can have a wholesome, nutrient-dense dinner on the table, proving that eating well doesn’t have to be complicated.

This Lazy Teriyaki Salmon will quickly become a go-to in your healthy recipe rotation.

Chinese Smashed Cucumber Salad is a refreshing, crunchy dish that’s simple to prepare yet packed with flavour and nutrition. Originating from northern China, this salad involves lightly smashing cucumbers before marinating them in a special dressing. The smashing technique enables the cucumbers to better absorb the dressing, resulting in a dish that is tangy, cooling, and full of texture.

Cucumbers are naturally hydrating, low in calories, and rich in antioxidants, making them an excellent addition to an anti-inflammatory lifestyle. Their high water and fibre content support digestion and help with feelings of fullness, which can aid in maintaining a healthy weight. A healthy weight is one of the most important factors in managing and preventing fatty liver disease, a growing health concern worldwide. By swapping processed snacks for nutrient-dense dishes like this cucumber salad, you can support liver health while enjoying something delicious.

This salad is also versatile: it pairs well with grilled fish, lean proteins, or can be enjoyed on its own as a light meal. The sesame oil provides healthy fats, while garlic adds not only flavour but also natural antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties.

Quick to prepare and full of vibrant flavour, Chinese Smashed Cucumber Salad is the perfect example of how traditional recipes can support modern health goals. Members of Eat Burn Sleep can also access the Fatty Liver Disease Personalized Advice, offering tailored guidance for long-term liver health.

This Mexican Ground Beef recipe isn’t just delicious, it’s packed with ingredients that support thyroid health and reduce inflammation. Lean ground beef provides high-quality protein and essential nutrients like zinc and B vitamins, which are crucial for thyroid hormone production and energy metabolism. Adding mushrooms not only brings depth of flavour but also delivers a potent dose of selenium, a trace mineral that plays a vital role in thyroid function and supports the body’s antioxidant defences.

To make this recipe anti-inflammatory, it’s seasoned with warming spices like cumin and garlic. These natural ingredients are known for their ability to calm inflammation in the body, especially beneficial for people managing autoimmune thyroid conditions such as Hashimoto’s. Garlic, in particular, contains allicin, a compound with antimicrobial and immune-supportive properties. Bell peppers and tomatoes add colour, vitamin C, and further antioxidants, while fresh cilantro and lime juice brighten the dish and aid digestion.

Unlike heavy, processed versions of taco meat, this clean, whole-food take on Mexican Ground Beef is dairy-free and gluten-free, making it suitable for individuals with food sensitivities or concerns about gut health. Serve it with cauliflower rice, our quinoa stir fry or in lettuce wraps for a balanced, anti-inflammatory meal that supports both your metabolism and your mood.

Guacamole is one of the most popular dips worldwide, but not everyone enjoys the bold, soapy taste of cilantro. This No-Cilantro Guacamole recipe is designed for those who want all the creaminess, freshness, and tang of traditional guacamole, without the overpowering herb.

Instead of relying on cilantro for flavor, this version highlights the smooth texture of ripe avocados balanced with zesty lime and a touch of freshness from simple, complementary additions. The result is a creamy dip that’s light, refreshing, and universally loved, even by those who usually shy away from guacamole.

It’s quick to prepare, incredibly versatile, and works just as well for entertaining as it does for a quick snack or side. Whether served at a party, added to a family dinner, or enjoyed as a healthier alternative to store-bought dips, No-Cilantro Guacamole is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser.

For those who do enjoy cilantro’s distinctive flavor, we also have Yalda’s Guacamole recipe, which follows a more traditional approach. Having both options means everyone can enjoy guacamole the way they like it best.

Packed with nourishing benefits from naturally wholesome ingredients, this recipe is as good for you as it is delicious. Easy, adaptable, and full of flavor, No-Cilantro Guacamole proves that you don’t need cilantro to enjoy the perfect dip.

If you’re looking for a simple, healthy, and anti-inflammatory addition to your meals, pico de gallo is a must-try. This classic Mexican salsa is made with just seven fresh ingredients. It’s naturally dairy-free, gluten-free, low in calories, and packed with flavour and nutrients that support gut and immune health.

The tomatoes offer lycopene, a powerful antioxidant with anti-inflammatory properties, while red onion and garlic add quercetin, known to support the body’s inflammatory response. Chillies bring a kick of capsaicin, which may aid pain reduction and metabolic health, and coriander is rich in detoxifying plant compounds.

Unlike shop-bought sauces or dips that often contain added sugar, seed oils, and preservatives, homemade pico de gallo is clean, fresh, and easy to prepare in just minutes. It pairs perfectly with grilled fish, quinoa bowls, roasted vegetables, tacos, or simply served with cucumber slices or our Seed Crackers. Because it’s raw and refreshing, it’s also a great way to encourage more raw vegetables into your diet without feeling like a chore.

Pico de gallo also supports healthy cholesterol levels. The fibre from the vegetables can help bind to excess cholesterol and aid in its elimination, while antioxidants like lycopene may help prevent LDL oxidation, a key step in the development of heart disease. By regularly including colourful, nutrient-dense foods like this salsa in your diet, you can take small but meaningful steps toward better cardiovascular health, deliciously and naturally. Members can check out our Cholesterol Personalized Advice for more information on reducing cholesterol levels.
