Diet-friendly mushroom dishes for the spring weight-loss
With the arrival of spring and the first warm rays of sun, there usually comes a need to renew ourselves, too. One of the best ways to feel as though we are reborn together with nature is if we detox our bodies and make some diet changes to go with spring. Whether it is because we want to cleanse our body or to prepare our beach body for the summer, trying some light, vitamin-packed dishes that are low in calories is a great choice after a long and cold winter, when both the staying at home and all the holiday feasts might have left us with some rather unpleasant extra weight.
As we’ve so often written in our blog articles, mushrooms are a great ally whenever we are dieting and they can be combined with a bunch of awesome foods, resulting in colourful, rich and tasty dishes.
Mushrooms are a great choice for the spring detox and weight loss project because they are rich in fiber and nutrients, while also being low in calories and filled with water, thus ensuring a lasting feeling of satiety without having to worry about gaining weight.
To help you get your spring diet going, we have a few great ideas which are perfect for the new season. Made with quality fresh seasonal ingredients, these dishes are also low in calories and high in fiber, a great combination if you’re looking to lose weight.
Here are three delicious dishes with mushrooms and spinach in the spotlight that you can make for lunch or even dinner:
Creamy chicken with spinach and mushrooms
Prepare a delicious meal with chicken breast in a skillet, topped with a creamy spinach and mushroom sauce for a healthy dinner full of flavour that can be served with pasta, rice or even quinoa.
Stuffed mushrooms
Make a creamy and fresh stuffing with ricotta, spinach and grated cheese and fill some large mushroom caps with it, bake in the oven and enjoy with a side dish of your choice – we prefer them with a crunchy fresh salad.
Spinach and mushroom lasagna
Lasagna does’t have to be stodge that is hard to make and even harder to digest. Enjoy a moist and cheesy meatless lasagna for lunch or dinner. You’ll have great texture and amazing flavour thanks to mushrooms and you also get a guilt-free, diet-friendly meal.
We hope you try our ideas and give mushrooms a huge role on your menu this season.
