There\u2019s no cooking involved, just a bit of whisking, chopping and tossing. The <a class=\"recommendation-inline-link-ai\" href=\"https:\/\/www.eatingwell.com\/best-carb-to-eat-for-gut-health-11777955\" link-destination-recommendation-ai=\"true\" data-component=\"link\" data-source=\"inlineLink\" data-type=\"internalLink\" data-ordinal=\"1\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">chickpeas are packed with fiber<\/a>, which can help feed the good bacteria in your gut. Serve with rotisserie chicken to round out the meal.\n<\/p>\n<p>  Monday: Salmon with Lemon-Herb Orzo &amp; Broccoli  <\/p>\n<p> Jacob Fox<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_13-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> Salmon, whole-wheat orzo and broccoli come together for this simple, satisfying supper. The broccoli gets added to the pot when the orzo is almost done to streamline the cooking. A quick herby lemon dressing ties it all together. The broccoli and orzo both have fiber to support a healthy gut, while the salmon is <a class=\"recommendation-inline-link-ai\" href=\"https:\/\/www.eatingwell.com\/foods-with-as-many-omega-3s-as-salmon-11681920\" link-destination-recommendation-ai=\"true\" data-component=\"link\" data-source=\"inlineLink\" data-type=\"internalLink\" data-ordinal=\"1\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">rich in omega-3s<\/a>, which support cardiovascular and brain health.\n<\/p>\n<p>  Tuesday: Vegan Black Bean Burgers  <\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_17-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> A combination of black beans and quinoa means these burgers are full of satisfying protein and fiber. Tomato paste, cumin and chipotle chile powder give the patties bold flavor, while mayo helps keep them moist. Black beans contain <a class=\"recommendation-inline-link-ai\" href=\"https:\/\/www.eatingwell.com\/what-is-resistant-starch-11749332\" link-destination-recommendation-ai=\"true\" data-component=\"link\" data-source=\"inlineLink\" data-type=\"internalLink\" data-ordinal=\"1\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">resistant starch<\/a>, which feeds the good bacteria in your gut and helps reduce inflammation.\n<\/p>\n<p>  Wednesday: Creamy Zucchini Spaghetti  <\/p>\n<p>Photographer: Jen Causey, Food Stylist: Emily Nabors Hall, Prop Stylist: Julia Bayless.<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_21-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> One of summer\u2019s most-beloved vegetables, zucchini, stars in this quick pasta dish that\u2019s topped with a crunchy toasted breadcrumb mixture. Complex carbs, like whole-wheat pasta, give your body an energy boost. There\u2019s also garlic, which doesn\u2019t just flavor the dish; it\u2019s a prebiotic that feeds beneficial bacteria in your gut.\n<\/p>\n<p>  Thursday: Turmeric Chicken &amp; Avocado Wraps  <\/p>\n<p>Heami Lee, Food Stylist: Emily Nabors Hall, Prop Stylist: Christine Keeley<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_25-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> On busy nights, a no-cook dinner\u2014like these chicken and avocado\u2013stuffed wraps\u2014can save a lot of time in the kitchen. You can even mix up the chicken salad ahead of time. The chicken contains protein to keep you satisfied, while the avocado adds fiber to nourish your gut.\n<\/p>\n<p>  Friday: Grilled Cauliflower Steaks with Almond Pesto &amp; Butter Beans  <\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_29-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> For this dinner, you\u2019ll slice two large heads of cauliflower into steaks, season them with paprika and garlic powder and grill them until tender and nicely browned. (If you don\u2019t have a grill, you can roast the cauliflower in a 425\u00b0F oven for about 30 minutes.) Both the cauliflower and the beans are gut-health heroes, contributing fiber to feed your gut bacteria.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_31-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> I wish you all a great week, and I hope you enjoy this dinner plan.
