Pomegranate Vitality Salad
A Gut-Nourishing, Antioxidant-Rich Bowl for Daily Energy
This Pomegranate Vitality Salad is a vibrant blend of fiber-rich vegetables, plant-powered protein, and antioxidant-dense ingredients designed to nourish your gut and support whole-body vitality.
Red cabbage and spinach deliver polyphenols that feed beneficial microbes, white beans offer steady energy through resistant starch, and beets help support natural detox pathways.
Pomegranate arils add a burst of antioxidants for inflammation support, while pumpkin seeds supply minerals like zinc and magnesium for mood, hormone health, and digestion.
A simple splash of chocolate vinegar (or balsamic) brings it all together, balancing blood sugar, brightening flavor, and turning everyday plants into a functional meal.
