Apple is a good source of pectin, a soluble fibre that absorbs water in the intestines, slowing down digestion. For those with an IBD, you may want to peel the skin off the apple as that can be irritating for some, especially if in a flare. Serves 4 2 apples, chopped 1 tbsp coconut oil ½ tsp

Sauerkraut in a smoothie? WHAAAT!?! That's crazy talk. And a really great way to sneak in the in the benefits of fermented foods without the sour taste! The natural sweetness of fruit takes over and the kraut is hidden, making this a stellar option for picky eaters (young and old). This recipe is an adaptation from my friend Katanne Belisle (It Takes Gut). I added avocado, greens and collagen powder, and played with liquid content, while also removing the chia seeds. Ingredie

Serves: 4 - 6 Preparation Time: 20 minutes + 30 minutes to simmer Breakfast is one of the more challenging meals when following AIP, Paleo or any diet for that matter. It helps to reframe the definition of "breakfast" and focus on the benefits of keeping blood sugar balanced, nutrition high and fuelling energy and concentration when breaking-fast. This stew is a family favourite not only for dinner, but breakfast. In fact, my autoimmune kid says she feels so much better throu

The nice thing about a one-pan dish is that no rules apply. You can substitute, add and create your own flavours and make it your own. This recipe is AIP friendly. With fish, I find that cooking time often depends on the thickness of the fish. You can buy wild frozen filets at many stores ... they are usually thin. In this case, the cooking time will be closer to 5-8 minutes. At a fish monger, your fish will most likely be thicker, so you will have to increase the cooking tim

When I lived in France, it was the first time I saw someone make mayo from scratch. I always just assumed it came from a jar. Not so.

This recipe is elimination diet friendly, meaning, if you're trying to reduce inflammation and avoiding food triggers, you CAN eat the meal!
