Yeast Free

You are so close to completing the yeast-free eating program! We know you can do it!
Whole Foods’ website is a great place to find recipes that follow yeast-free eating guidelines; or at the very least, it can give you ideas for creating your own recipes with a few modifications.
Several staff members refer to it often as a resource for healthy recipes. It has a wealth of recipes that will jumpstart your creativity and give you plenty of ideas for making your own yeast-free recipes with a few simple modifications.
Take for instance the recipe from Whole Foods below:
Italian Chowder with Cod & Kale
Ingredients:
- 2 cups unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tablespoon dried Italian seasoning
- 3/4 pound baby red potatoes, quartered
- 1 cup chopped yellow onion
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste (no salt added in ingredients)
- 1 (15-ounce) can no-salt-added cannellini beans*, rinsed and drained
- 1 (15-ounce) can no-salt-added diced tomatoes*
- 1/2 cup sliced celery 1 bunch (about 10 ounces) Lacinato (a.k.a. Dinosaur) kale, stems removed, leaves roughly chopped
- 1/2 pound frozen cod, thawed and cut into small chunks
Instructions:
*You can replace the potatoes with squash or zucchini and achieve the same effect!
And of course, you can find many recipes that are as yeast-free friendly without needing to make modifications at Whole Foods! Such as…
