I came up with a concept called Daily Vitamin Meals that when crafting a meal, I try to incorporate as many nutrients and components that help fight inflammation, improve gut health and bolster overall immunity. It’s just like a daily multi-vitamin but in food form. This was the first meal I came up with and it incorporates all of my 10 FAM Food As Medicine principles:
1. Taste
2. Sourcing
3. Nutrients (+Medicinal)
4. Fiber (Prebiotics)
5. Probiotics
6. Color
7. Texture
8. Flavor Profiles
9. Bio-diversity
10. Intention - Love
