Celiac: Quinoa Berry Power Bowl
Why This Recipe Supports Celiac Health: 1. Cooked Quinoa (1/2 cup) Naturally gluten-free and one of the few plant-based complete proteins (contains all 9 essential amino acids). Rich in iron, magnesium, zinc, and fiber—nutrients often low in those with celiac due to malabsorption. Easy to digest and helps maintain energy levels and muscle mass. 2. Unsweetened Coconut Yogurt or Dairy-Free Yogurt (1/3 cup) Safe for people with lactose intolerance or dairy sensitivity, which are common in celiac. Often fortified with probiotics, which support gut healing and immune balance. 3. Mixed Berries (1/2 cup) High in antioxidants, vitamin C, and fiber. Help combat inflammation and oxidative stress, which are elevated during gut repair in celiac disease. 4. Chia Seeds or Ground Flaxseed (1 tbsp) Provide omega-3 fatty acids, which reduce inflammation in the gut lining. High fiber content supports bowel regularity, which can be disrupted in celiac. 5. Sunflower or Almond Butter (1 tbsp) Adds healthy fats and vitamin E, promoting gut lining repair and reducing inflammation. If almond butter is used, be sure it’s processed in a gluten-free facility to avoid cross-contamination. 6. Cinnamon (sprinkle) Offers anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. May support blood sugar regulation, which helps reduce fatigue or energy dips. 7. Optional: Maple Syrup or Honey (1 tsp) Natural sweeteners that are gluten-free. When used sparingly, they enhance flavor without triggering inflammation. 🧠 Summary: Fully gluten-free Easy on digestion Supports gut healing, immune function, and nutrient repletion Naturally anti-inflammatory and antioxidant-rich
