Hello, and happy Sunday! This Sunday’s star is broccoli—a vibrant and versatile veggie that’s in season from late fall through early spring, making it a perfect addition to your winter meals.
Why Broccoli?
Broccoli is a nutritional powerhouse! It’s rich in:
-
- Vitamin C: Boosts immunity and promotes healthy skin.
- Vitamin K: Supports bone health and proper blood clotting.
- Fiber: Aids digestion and keeps you feeling full.
- Folate: Essential for cell growth and repair.
- Potassium: Helps maintain healthy blood pressure.
- Antioxidants: Combat inflammation and protect against chronic diseases.
With these benefits, broccoli promotes heart health, strengthens bones, supports digestion and even aids in reducing inflammation.
Easy to Find & Use
You can find fresh broccoli in almost any grocery store or farmers’ market right now. Its versatility makes it a must-have in your plant-based kitchen:
🌱 Quick Stir-Fry: Dry/water Sauté broccoli florets with garlic, ginger and a splash of tamari for a flavorful side.

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.
