Bean Vegetable Soup
For someone who has struggled with gut health for so many years, I focus on making meals that support digestion and gut heath.
This soup is packed with veggies- giving you all the vitamins and antioxidants. The beans and spinach give you protein and fiber- supporting digestion, feeding your muscles and fighting those sugar cravings.
