Super Delicious & Gluten-Free Meal Guide, Recipe Post #194: One-Pan Garlic Herb Shrimp and Vegetables

Being gluten free means avoiding foods that contain a protein called gluten. This protein is found in wheat, rye, and barley. In order to be gluten free, you must avoid eating foods that contain these grains as well as some foods that have other ingredients containing gluten. Gluten free diets can be richer in vitamins, minerals, and other important nutrients. There are many delicious gluten free foods available like fruits, vegetables, legumes, dairy, and unprocessed meats. Without grains, you are also likely to decrease your consumption of unhealthy carbohydrates. Eating a gluten-free diet can provide health benefits throughout your life. It can reduce inflammation, heal the gut and reduce any digestive issues, and it can also improve concentration and mental clarity. For me personally, following a gluten free diet has made me feel more energetic and connected to my body – and I’m sure it can do the same for you!
