Part 1 of Candida Diet Recipes Series (Travel foods!)

This is the first part of my 4 Part Candida Diet Foods Series — let’s see what different healthy meals and snacks you can make (all REALLY quick to make!). These are the topics:

1. Candida diet recipes

2. Snacks (coming up next week)

3. Smoothies

4. Desserts

So let’s start with Candida diet recipes in general.

Apart from the classic recipes that I make time and time again like Roast chicken with vegetables, steamed salmon with veggies and wholegrain rice with vegetable stir fry I can whole-heartedly recommend the recipes below:

They are quick, versatile and you can generally prepare them the day before if you have a busy day ahead of you, and some you can even take with you when travelling.

WRAPS & BREAD 

• Grain free Tortilla Wraps — just fill with hummus and red pepper, turkey slices and lettuce or tuna and cucumber, a little bit of seasoning or dressing and you’re good to go
• another easy recipe for wraps with flax seeds — gluten free & Paleo
• Sesame soda bread — yeast free sandwich bread, low in gluten (perfect as snack toasted with coconut oil and a little herb salt)
• Coconut flour bread — gluten free & Paleo (very filling because of the eggs in it)

SALADS

• Salad Nicoise (Tuna & egg salad) is a great healthy filling lunch option with or without boiled potatoes
• Paleo Chicken Salad recipes are amazing and can be nicely prepared in advance
• Avocado-egg-salad (use apple cider vinegar instead of vinegar)

QUICK BITES

• Bone broth/ chicken & veg soup
• Zucchini-fritters (use Feta instead of Parmesan)
• Butter Beans Curry (my fastest lunch bar none — only requires three ingredients, done in 5 minutes!)
• Turkey zucchini burgers
• Quinoa kale patties (leave Parmesan out or use Feta cheese instead)
• Paleo egg muffins
• Crust less vegetable quiche (use any vegetables)

It’s also always a good idea to have a chunk of cucumber to slice and nibble on, a ripe avocado and slices of organic red bell pepper (takes the edge of your sweet tooth) and a green juice or green smoothie (more on that in Part 3 of this series.

PASTA (SAUCE)

I’m not a great advocate of pasta dishes for various health reasons. Wholegrain rice pasta aren’t too bad, but Zucchini pasta would be the healthiest choice (thinly slice zucchini/ courgette to soak up your delicious pasta sauce).

Talking of which — this is a killer Pasta sauce and completely dairy-free and vegan, wohoo. It freezes like a charm and also tastes great with cooked wholegrain rice. Do use only a fraction of the suggested garlic amount though!)
