Try our multivitamin gut-nourish bowl, then try harissa roast salmon with warm herby grains and yogurt dressing, buddha bowls with sweet potato and chickpeas or spiced chicken and lentils with ginger and turmeric.

This recipe is particularly rich in vitamin C from the pepper, tomatoes, pomegranate and leafy greens, quercetin from the red onion (known for its powerful anti-inflammatory effects) and plant-based omega 3 (ALA) from the walnuts, to top up nutrient stores, especially if you are feeling fatigued and depleted. It’s a soul-feeding dish that not only looks good but does so much good, too.
