GUT CHECK: Eat probiotic-rich foods three days this week June 1-7, 2020.

A majority of the body's immune system is located in the gut. Deficiencies in good bacteria can inhibit the immune system from working at its best. The fix? Include probiotic-rich foods such as yogurt, kefir, sauerkraut, kimchi, miso, kombucha, pickles and olives in your diet three days per week.

One of my favorite breakfast meals is some plain Greek yogurt and I'll add some combination of Almond Butter, Peanut Butter, Coconut, or Raw Cacao and some berries. It's simple and filling.

I eat at least three fruits each day with applesauce and yogurt with my oatmeal.

For my afternoon snack I generally have hummus with sun chips and ice tea (warm and cold)

I eat plenty of homemade garden salad with my evening dinner meal.

Homemade Kombucha, enough caffeine to launch me through the afternoon!

Hoping this is I'm supposed to post... another social media format, sigh.

Freezing miso in small containers allows me to defrost just what I need for a probiotic rich sauce or salad dressing.

This is a great meal to have. Just be careful not to over indulge in the olives as they due contain

a lot of sodium. Unfortunately it's one of mu faves in this dish 😞

In between meals I love to snack on dill pickles! The coolness and crunch really hit the spot!

Kefir! I'm very impressed. How did you get a starter bacteria or whatever is needed to make it?

I drink kefir daily, but I always buy it.....would love to try to make it myself. Kudos to you!
