You wouldn’t think it, but this dish abides by natural laws of nutrition, such as proper food combining and use of simple plant-based wholefoods. This makes it easy to digest and assimilate the nutrients, leaving you free of bloating and with stable blood sugar levels afterwards. Oh, and a huge smile!
