Final thought

Introduction

 🥗 Contemplating the Filipino snack that is light and flavorful but works wonders in gut health, then partaking of Lumpiang Sariwa (Fresh Spring Rolls) 🌿✨ is part of the solution.

Besides being a beautiful feast for the eyes, fresh lumpia is packed with fiber-rich veggies for your excellent gut bacteria. Unlike fried, mucked-up versions of mass-produced food, they stimulate gut health and digestion and help burn visceral fat around the belly.

✨ Recipe:

Ingredients

4 large lumpia wrappers (or lettuce leaves for that extra lightness)

1 cup shredded carrots

1 cup shredded cabbage

1 cup of half a pad of grated coconut or jicama against the julienne-cut edge

½ cup green beans in permissible position

2 tbsp minced garlic

1 tbsp olive oil

Lettuce leaves for lining.

Peanut Sauce:

2 tbsp peanut paste 

1 tsp cornstarch diluted in a quarter cup of water

1 clove garlic, minced

1 tsp low-sodium soy sauce

½ cup water

Instructions:

1️⃣ Sauté garlic in olive oil, add all the vegetables, and let them cook lightly yet remain crunchy.

2️⃣ Put lettuce on the wrapper and fill it up with veggies, and tightly roll. 

 3. Preparation of the gravy: sauté garlic, add soy sauce, and then put peanut butter and cornstarch mixed with it. Stir until thick.

4️⃣ Pour sauce over the lumpia and top with crushed peanuts.

💡 Why it is gut- and belly-friendly:

✅ High in fiber for smooth digestion

✅ Plant-based & low in unhealthy fats

✅ Aiding the reduction of visceral fat naturally
