Dr Jockers Comments:
My clients have been asking for a healthy bell pepper recipe since I began working in nutrition and natural health. This recipe is the real deal, full of superfood nutrition that helps you burn fat, boost your energy and build lean body tissue.
You can use grass-fed beef, lamb, bison, venison or organic poultry if you like. All of these have healthy proteins and essential fats that reduce inflammation and improve your hormonal function.
If you have issues with oxalates you can replace the spinach with kale or romaine lettuce. Additionally, if you have sensitivities to dairy, you can always avoid the cheese. The coconut flour provides healthy fiber prebiotics that support your microbiome and stimulate proper gut motility. Your family will love the way this tastes and how you feel after eating this!
