Fermented foods offer good-gut probiotic bacteria, the same healthy Lactobacillus bacteria already in your gastrointestinal tract which contributes to digestive & immune health. For a fast Kimchi, I mix sauerkraut with Kimchi to kick-it-up a notch. Use kimchi in stir-fries, on burgers, as a side dish, or in your favorite Korean dishes. Excellent on brown rice  with stir fry veggies!  This pro health probiotic , long-lasting, ingredient, that literally gets better with age, can be easily homemade with many tutorials online. 

• Probiotics in Kimchi detox the body
• Counteract inflammation and control the growth of disease-causing bacteria
• Produce vitamins, amino acids (protein precursors), absorb minerals and eliminate free radical toxins
• Control asthma and reduce risk of allergies
• Benefits your mood and mental health!

We have with lunch every day a slice of a pickle!  I have 2.5 oz turkey in a whole wheat, low carb tortilla, some cole slaw with Walden Farms zero calorie (no sugar, no fat), fruit -- like berries or half a sliced apple, and that pickle wedge! 

Hope that meets the probiotic for this week!  We've had it every day this past week!

I start my day with plain greek yogurt with a spoonful of homemade low sugar raspberry freezer jam for breakfast 3-4 times a week.  Yummy and so healthy!

I make Greek yogurt in my Instant Pot twice a week.  I mix the finished yogurt with mangoes, strawberries or blueberries for a tasty extra boost of fruit.   My husband and I eat 6 ounces every single day for lunch.  

Try a yogurt and cereal mix for breakfast or lunch.  Add fruit and call it a sundae.

Oatmeal (non-sweetened), fruit (blueberries or raspberries are the favorites) and plain Greek yogurt are my daily breakfast fare. I substitute plain Greek yogurt for sour cream in recipes, too. Banana bread is a

perfect example!

Store bought Celery Soup is so salty! So I made my own from a crock pot recipe.                                          Healthy and Delicious!  from cgraben1@yahoo.com
