Salmon & Avocado Rice Bowl
"This nutrient-dense dish is rich in high-quality protein and omega-3 fatty acids. These healthy fats support skin, brain, heart and hormone health, while the rich fibre content supports blood sugar balance, steady energy levels and feeds healthy bacteria in the gut. The fresh, raw vegetables provide an abundance of immune-supporting antioxidants. Use cold-pressed sesame oil for maximum anti-inflammatory benefits," says nutritional therapist Alexa Mullane.
