Functional Fudge Cake
This vibrant fall salad is packed with methylation-supporting nutrients, featuring a variety of colorful vegetables, healthy fats, and fresh herbs. The ingredients are carefully chosen to provide a balance of methyl donors and key epinutrients such as folate, diindolylmethane (DIM), and quercetin.
The citrus-herb dressing adds a refreshing twist, perking up any salad, stir-fry, or protein, whatever the season. Don’t forget to add a good amount of high-quality protein, such as organic chicken, wild fish or legumes if vegetarian.
