By adding parsnips to heavier meals, you can increase flavor in your food without increasing fat, meaning it won’t be nearly as heartburn-inducing (but just as, if not more, delicious). “Try to increase the load of fresh produce in your meals, while decreasing the amount of fat,” said Kylene Bogden, a registered dietitian-nutritionist and wellness adviser for Love Wellness.
“For example, if you are getting ready to prepare a creamy winter soup, try pureeing cooked parsnips or potatoes for half of the base instead of using the entire amount of heavy cream that the recipe calls for. This is how we increase flavor and nutrient density while decreasing fat. Most importantly, we are helping to stop reflux in its tracks.”
