As a follow-up to last week’s Wellness Committee activity, we’re sharing the featured recipes — each chosen for their nutritional benefits and use of whole, plant-based ingredients. These dishes highlight foods that help support energy, digestion, and overall well-being, and they also align with current research on essential minerals and whole-food nutrition.
The Food Revolution Network recently published an article on the 8 essential
minerals our bodies rely on — such as magnesium, calcium, iron, and zinc — and how whole foods are the most effective way to get them. Many ingredients featured in these recipes, like dates, mushrooms, chickpeas, nuts, and leafy greens, naturally provide these minerals, making them excellent additions to a health-supportive diet.
Creamy Mushroom Soup with Chickpeas & Kale
Packed with fiber-rich chickpeas, mineral-rich kale, and immunity-supporting mushrooms, this hearty soup is both comforting and nutrient-dense.
Homemade Date Paste
A natural sweetener made from whole dates — a great alternative to refined sugar. Date paste provides vitamins, minerals, and slow-release carbohydrates for sustained energy.
Nutty & Chocolatey Teff Cookies
Teff flour, peanut butter, and hazelnuts combine for a satisfying treat with healthy fats and whole-grain benefits.
Tofu and Broccoli Stir-Fry
A nourishing blend of tofu, broccoli, and colorful vegetables, this stir-fry offers plant-based protein, antioxidants, and essential minerals to support balanced wellness.
Enjoy giving these recipes a try at home — your body will thank you!
