Ixcela

You took your test and excitedly reviewed your gut health results and your nutrition plan.You know the amount of protein, fat, low-carb, and moderate- to high-carb options you need to include with each meal. And although it is all so interesting, figuring out where to start is the first and sometimes hardest step of any process. No worries. We’re here to lend a hand.

The Ixcela Recipe Library takes the guesswork out of following a nutrient-dense, gut-healthy diet.

Each recipe offers a registered dietitian note, nutrient breakdown, and serving suggestions. The recipes will show you how to include foods that have been recommended to you and help you build confidence in your dietary decisions.

Each recipe in the Ixcela recipe library adds important gut-healthy nutrients like fiber and vitamins, so don’t feel like you need to include recipes from only your lowest gut health score. Consider starting with a list of recipes that will benefit your lowest scores and then fill your weekly menu with other recipes that sound appealing.

Here’s how it works:

1. Identify your lowest score.

2. Go to the Ixcela Recipe library and filter recipes to show the dimension you want to focus on.

3. Look for recipes that fit your preferences.

4. Check out the serving and other recipe suggestions at the bottom of the recipe.

5. Create a weekly menu built around the recommended gut-healthy recipes.

Enjoy exploring the recipes in the library and keep your eye out for new recipes. If you’ve tried a recipe and would like to share, snap a picture and tag @ixcelawellness on Facebook or Instagram. We’d love to hear about your gut-healthy culinary successes!
