As the weather cools down and we look for comforting, nourishing meals, keeping our gut health in mind is as important than ever. At Guts UK, we know that eating a diverse range of plant-based foods, fibre, and wholesome ingredients can support your digestive system.

To help inspire your meal planning this season, we’ve added three brand-new, delicious, gut-friendly recipes to our website. Whether you’re looking for a cosy weeknight dinner or a comforting sweet treat, look no further!

A note before you cook: Every gut is unique! Be sure to check the dietary notes and suitability information at the top of each recipe page to ensure the ingredients align with your specific digestive needs, intolerances or dietary preferences.

Recipes:

  • Pumpkin gnocchi: Rich, comforting and packed with autumnal flavour, this dish is a fantastic way to enjoy seasonal produce while looking after your gut and reducing waste from your pumpkins. Go to the recipe here.
  • Smoky paprika beans: Fibre-rich beans are one of your gut microbe’s best friends! This hearty, smoky dish is quick to whip up and makes a wonderful, warming lunch or dinner. Go to the recipe here.
