Happy Seasonal Sunday, Plant Lovers!
This week, we’re exploring Fennel—a unique vegetable that’s in season now and packed with fresh, licorice-like flavor that’s perfect for your plant-based meals. Whether you’re new to fennel or a long-time fan, it’s time to give this aromatic veggie a place on your plate.
Here’s why I love Fennel:
- High in vitamin C, fennel supports your immune system and promotes healthy skin.
- Rich in fiber, fennel aids digestion and helps with detoxifying your body.
- Its crisp texture and licorice-like flavor add a refreshing, aromatic element to any dish.
How to enjoy Fennel:
Raw in Salads: Thinly slice fennel and toss it in a refreshing salad with citrus for a crunchy, flavorful bite.
Roasted: Roast fennel with your favorite herbs to bring out its natural sweetness and earthy flavor.
In Soups: Add fennel to soups for a mild, savory base with a hint of anise.
Sautéed: Sauté fennel with onions and garlic for a savory side dish that pairs well with almost anything.
Fennel is available now at your local grocery store or farmer’s market, so grab some this weekend and enjoy its fresh, bright flavor in your meals.
Wishing you a fresh and flavorful Sunday!
I started out several years ago watching Forks Over Knives, decided to “try out” the plant-based meal plan and had shockingly incredible results. I’ve never turned back. I have lost nearly 50 pounds, and that is just one side effect that me, my family, friends and clients have experienced after making the change.
Having been an incredible cook my entire adult life, I started my own personal chef service, NuYu Nourish, to extend my help to others. I interned under a celebrity chef, became a celebrity chef myself and have been expanding my reach and goals ever since! My plan follows strictly and simply those of Dr. Mcdougall, Dr. T. Colin Campbell and Dr. Esselstyn.
