Low Carb Chicken Zucchini Boats
Hi Friends,
I haven’t done a recipe for ages so here is one for low carb chicken zucchini boats I discovered recently and I’m loving them! I have always wanted to try these zucchini boats after spotting them on Pinterest a while back and finally got around to making them. I had to change up the recipe a little, due to a lack of certain ingredients but these ones turned out amazing!
I am trying to cut back on my carb intake whilst following the Mediterranean diet as best I can. These were so tasty and healthy, I figured I would share the recipe with you so you can try them out yourselves. I had to make them again last night cos I was craving them since trying them the other night. The second time around I made them a little differently, just to try out another flavour and they were equally yummy.
Benefits of Buckwheat (Including Bread and Scones Recipe)
Buckwheat seeds have great nutritional value, help to balance circulation and can also help reduce blood pressure. Buckwheat helps maintain a healthy gut too, as discussed in my recent post on How to improve Gut Health. They are unique for containing rutin (vitamin P). Here is a bit more about the flavonoid rutin.
Rutin is a healing “partner” to quercetin since they both work hand in hand to protect sensory neurons. They are both strong antioxidants that can have an anti-inflammatory effect as well. Rutin in particular has been the focus of several studies for the reduction of painful inflammation that accompanies rheumatoid arthritis. A study from December 2016 on the cancer benefit of the stocky Vietnamese healing plant Xao tam phan (Paramignya trimera) found that the high antioxidant and cytotoxic (cancer-killing) properties of flavonoids rutin and catechin had a noticeable effect on pancreatic, ovarian, lung, skin, prostate, brain, and breast tumors.
