So what to eat when you are grain free and recoverying from a Rota-virus and the recommended 'BRAT DIET' of bananas, rice, applesauce and toast ends up being the BA diet of Bananas and applesauce!
Look in the fridge and throw together what you think might be 'safe' to digest from the leftovers there so you do not to spend too much time standing at the stove and yet will still have lots of healthy benefits to get you back on your feet!
Butternut squash packs a lovely punch of vitamin B6, essential for the proper functioning of both
the nervous and immune systems so lets use up t hat!
Parsley is rich in many vital vitamins, including Vitamin C, B 12, K and A. This means parsley
keeps your immune system strong, tones your bones and heals the nervous
system, too. It helps flush out excess fluid from the body, thus
supporting kidney function.
Garlic which helps to boost immunity and detoxify the body so is an awesome aresenol in the diet to fight off sickness!
Ginger has a long history of use for relieving digestive problems such as nausea, loss of appetite, motion sickness and pain.
Onions improve the working of Vitamin C in the body, thus gifting you with improved immunity.
Bacon ~ well everything tastes better with bacon but it is actually GOOD for your health too!
So put them together with a couple clean eating staples like an egg, almond flour and coconut oil and what can you make?

Nutritional Breakdown
Based on the recipe making 'six' latkes ... the coconut oil and bacon gives it a bad 'saturated fat' rating but you need to decide for yourself if you feel this is a 'healthy fat' option or a 'bad fat' option cause IMO their analysis does not discriminate between fats when I put nuts in there they say they are bad too and nuts are full of healthy fats!
Have an amazing day!
