It’s more likely that you can’t think of any Filipino meals that are healthy given that we mostly eat pork. However, there are still plenty of healthy and nutritious dishes that you can find – and eat – that is Filipino made. Plus, what’s awesome is that it can satisfy your cravings. From Filipino salads to main dishes, here are some of the healthy recipes that are easy to prepare.
1. Chicken Tinola
Chicken Tinola has been part of Filipino tables. The ginger-based soup cannot only give you a comfortable feeling because of the broth, but it’s also healthy due to the malunggay leaves (or moringa leaves) that are commonly steep in the said meal. Moringa’s health benefits include liver protection, bone health, and skin and hair nourishment.
