Super Delicious & Gluten-Free Meal Guide, Recipe Post #695: Grilled Shrimp and Vegetable Skewers with Cilantro-Mint Chimichurri

Gluten-free eating means avoiding foods that contain the protein gluten, which is found in many grains like wheat, barley and rye. Being gluten-free typically means avoiding breads, pastas, cereals and other products made with wheat. Luckily, there are other great grain alternatives such as rice, quinoa, corn and buckwheat, as well as gluten-free versions of your favourite breads and pastas. Eating gluten-free has some major health benefits. It can reduce bloating, improve digestion, balance hormones, reduce chronic inflammation and even improve energy levels. It’s important to remember to eat a balanced diet even without gluten, as it’s essential for good health. If you do choose to go gluten-free, be sure to follow a well-rounded diet filled with fresh fruits and vegetables, lean proteins and plenty of healthy fats.
