Recipes & Individualized Metabolic Balance Nutrition Plan
When we look at using recipes with a Metabolic Balance® plan, we have to understand that not everyone has all those ingredients in their plan. The recipes we share may be best for different phases for everyone. It may work in phase 2 for you or phase 3 or 4.
Flexible Recipes
When we work with recipes with a Metabolic Balance® plan, we have to be flexible and take the opportunity to be creative! If you don’t have pumpkin on your plan, you can substitute with another type of squash or turnip that may be on your plan. In addition to different food ingredients, there may be a difference in portion sizes. This recipe is for a number of portion sizes (see the note on the recipe). If you wanted to make just one portion of this soup, the vegetable amount would be your guide and adjust everything to taste and the consistency you desire.
This recipe is a great phase 2, Strict Conversion, recipe since it doesn’t have any additional phase 3 type ingredients. Herbs and spices are fantastic to add to any dish and should be so you enjoy your food at its best.
What makes it a metabolic balance® recipe?
