Week 1 Healthy Eating Contest 2020: Gut Check

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.

    Mixed some greek yogurt with fresh blueberries, pineapple, crushed walnuts, topped with a sprinkle of cinnamon and a drizzle of honey. Very satisfying lunch. 

    Also added olives to my salad and soaked cucumbers in vinegar with red onion.

    On July 3, had yogurt with walnuts and raisins and a swirl of honey.  One of my favorite breakfasts!

    Gut check,  homemade yogurt and it worked!  Now I get to make no knead bread with all the whey. Can't wait to eat them together.
