What are the benefits of prunes?
In this recipe, I used an ingredient you wouldn’t normally find in a Vegan Shepherd’s Pie, or any Shepherd’s Pie… prunes! Prunes are so damn good for you but we don’t eat them enough. They can:
Deliver positive benefits to both bone & gut health Are awesome to enhance sweet OR savoury dishes A nutritious alternative to artificial ingredients Can be eaten on their own too as a healthy snack They’re a superfood with vitamin B2, potassium, magnesium & boron
Prunes seriously are so good for you. I love them to help with digestion, and they’re a perfect addition to this Vegan Shepherd’s Pie recipe. Even the pickiest eaters won’t even know you snuck them in there because it’ll taste so good!
What else can you make with prunes?
Aside from this delicious Shepherd’s Pie recipe, you can also make so many other things with prunes. One of my favs is these easy No-Bake California Prune Power Balls. This recipe is perfect for an easy snack for you or your whole family. A healthy alternative when you’re looking for something to reach for in your kitchen, and they taste awesome! Here’s what you need to make them:
30 pitted California Prunes (about 1 cup packed) 1/3 cup almond butter 2 tbsp honey 1/2 cup rice crisp cereal 1/4 cup unsalted, roasted sunflower seeds 1/3 cup unsweetened, desiccated coconut
