Jump to Recipe

When you think of Latin cuisine, what comes to mind? Bold flavors, vibrant colors, and dishes that feel like a warm hug, right? But what if you could enjoy all that sazón while also giving your gut some much-needed TLC? That’s exactly what the Nutrition Dork eBook is all about: reimagining traditional Latin recipes to support your digestive health without sacrificing flavor or culture.

As a proud Latina and Certified Health Coach, I created this eBook because I know firsthand how challenging it can be to balance traditional flavors with dietary needs. Whether you’re dealing with autoimmune challenges, food sensitivities, or just want to feel your best, these recipes are here to prove that comer saludable no tiene que ser aburrido.

Let’s dive into what makes this eBook a must-have for anyone seeking to enjoy Latin cuisine in a way that’s nourishing, healing, and oh-so-delicious. Here’s a sneak peek at some of the recipes and the gut health benefits they bring to the table.

Why Gut Health Matters

Your gut is so much more than just where your food goes to digest, it’s like the command center for your whole body! From boosting your immune system to lifting your mood and keeping inflammation in check, a healthy gut is the key for feeling your best every day.

But here’s the catch: many traditional dishes, while delicious, can sometimes be tough on sensitive stomachs. That’s why the Nutrition Dork eBook focuses on recipes that are gentle on digestion, featuring ingredients like ginger, plantains, papaya, bone broth, and root vegetables. These foods are not only nutrient-dense but also known for their ability to soothe and support the digestive system.

What’s Inside the eBook?

The eBook features 10 recipes that blend the vibrant flavors of Latin cuisine with gut-friendly ingredients. Here’s a sneak peek at a few of the highlights:

1. Avena de Almendras y Canela (Almond & Cinnamon Oatmeal)

Start your day with this warm, comforting bowl of oatmeal that’s easy on digestion and packed with fiber. Infused with cinnamon and topped with sliced almonds, it’s a simple yet satisfying way to fuel your morning.

Why Your Gut Will Love It: Gluten-free oats and flax seeds provide gut-friendly fiber, while cinnamon helps reduce inflammation and balance blood sugar levels.

2. Batida de Papaya y Jengibre (Papaya-Ginger Smoothie)

This tropical smoothie is like a mini-vacation in a glass. Made with creamy papaya, banana, and a touch of fresh ginger, it’s refreshing, nourishing, and perfect for a quick breakfast or snack.

Why Your Gut Will Love It: Papaya is rich in digestive enzymes that help break down food, while ginger reduces bloating and inflammation.

3. Asopao de Gandules (Pigeon Pea Stew)

A hearty, fiber-rich stew that’s both comforting and nourishing. Packed with pigeon peas, vegetables, and Healthy Rican seasonings, this dish is a plant-based powerhouse that doesn’t skimp on flavor.

Why Your Gut Will Love It: Pigeon peas are high in fiber, which supports healthy digestion, and the savory broth is gentle on the stomach.

Reimagining Comfort Foods

One of the things I’m most proud of is how this eBook reimagines traditional comfort foods in a way that’s healthier but still authentic. For example:

• Sopa de Pollo (Healing Chicken Soup): A classic remedy made with collagen-rich broth and tender chicken to soothe your stomach and boost immunity.
• Mofongo de Plátano Verde con Caldo (Green Plantain Mofongo with Healing Broth): This iconic Puerto Rican dish gets a gut-friendly twist with prebiotic-rich green plantains and a warm, healing broth.
• Sancocho (Root Vegetable Soup): A hearty soup loaded with gut-soothing root veggies like yuca, calabaza, and plantains.

These dishes are proof that you don’t have to choose between flavor and wellness. With the right ingredients and a little creativity, you can enjoy all your favorite comfort foods in a way that supports your health.

The Power of Healthy Rican Seasonings

No Latin dish is complete without its sazón, and this eBook wouldn’t be the same without Healthy Rican seasonings. These all-natural, Latin-inspired spice blends add authentic flavor to every recipe while keeping things clean and digestion-friendly.

From Adobo, Sazón and Dehydrated Sofrito, these seasonings are free of artificial additives and full of bold, vibrant flavors. They’re a must-have for anyone looking to recreate these recipes or add a little extra flair to their everyday cooking.
