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.

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

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.

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 start my day off by eating a cup of Greek plain yogurt with blueberries,flax seed,raw natural honey,cinnamon,whipped cream,strawberries and cherries! all the fruit is frozen. sometimes I blend it and most times I just add all ingredients to a bowl.
