Charred Zucchini is a versatile and quick-to-make addition to your meals, perfect for any time of the day. Whether you top it on an omelet, slice it into a refreshing salad, or serve it alongside your favorite dish, this simple vegetable packs a punch in terms of flavor and health benefits.

Zucchini is rich in potassium, an essential electrolyte that helps maintain a healthy fluid balance in the body. Potassium is vital for heart function, muscle contractions, and overall hydration. Additionally, the phytonutrients found in zucchini promote bowel regularity, making it a great choice for digestive health and to support healthy gut function.

Zucchini is also a powerhouse when it comes to reducing cholesterol, lowering the risk of heart attacks, and improving metabolic balance. Its low-calorie content and high water content make it an ideal vegetable for those following a healthy, anti-inflammatory diet, such as the Eat Burn Sleep lifestyle.

Not only is charred zucchini full of nutrients, but it is also incredibly easy to prepare. Simply slice it, char it on the grill or in a pan, and enjoy its smoky flavor that perfectly complements other anti-inflammatory dishes. It’s a fast and delicious way to increase your vegetable intake without spending much time in the kitchen.

This healthy, nutrient-dense vegetable is ideal for anyone looking to eat mindfully, support their digestive health, and enhance their overall wellness with minimal effort. Charred zucchini makes it easy to add more goodness to your meals, all while keeping it simple, nutritious, and flavorful.

  • 3 medium-sized zucchini
  • 1/2 tsp of sea salt
  • A crunch of black pepper

This cream of broccoli and zucchini soup is a delicious way to improve your gut and mental health!

Did you know that broccoli has bioactive compounds and phytochemicals that have powerful health-promoting effects on the body?

Broccoli plays a major part in balancing gut microbiota and decreasing inflammation. Mental well-being is increased as a result, along with a whole lot of other physical benefits.

It is often said that if you are going to eat one vegetable alone, broccoli would be the safe bet for optimum nutrition.

The skin on zucchini offers folate, which is essential for producing red and white blood cells. Particularly important for times of rapid growth, as in pregnancy, infancy, and adolescence. Your growing children will benefit (and love!) this soup.

Strengthening the immune and promoting collagen, this soup does more than satisfy the taste buds!

Enjoy every mouthful. Slowly.

 

Ingredients

  • 1 medium broccoli
  • 2 medium zucchini
  • 1 onion
  • 4 cloves of garlic

  • 1 tsp of ground cumin
  • 1/2 can or 120ml of full-fat coconut milk or 6 tbsp of coconut cream
