Improve your gut health with these 5 delicious and quick recipes.
GUT FEELINGS
The gut is often referred to as the "second brain" because of its crucial role in maintaining our overall health and well-being. Eating a diet rich in gut-friendly foods can help keep our digestive system running smoothly, boost our immune system, and even improve our mood. Here are some gut-friendly recipes to incorporate into your diet:
BREAKFAST: OVERNIGHT OATS WITH CHIA SEEDS AND BERRIES
Overnight oats are a great way to start the day with a dose of gut-friendly fibre. Soak rolled oats in almond milk and chia seeds overnight and top with fresh berries for a delicious and nutritious breakfast.
SNACK: ROASTED CHICKPEAS
Roasted chickpeas are a crunchy and satisfying snack that's high in fibre and protein. Toss chickpeas in olive oil and your favourite spices, then roast in the oven until crispy.
LUNCH: QUINOA AND BLACK BEAN BOWL
Quinoa and black beans are a winning combination for gut health. Top cooked quinoa with black beans, avocado, salsa, and cilantro for a flavorful and filling lunch.
SNACK: SAUERKRAUT AND APPLE SLICES
Sauerkraut is a fermented food that's rich in probiotics, which are beneficial for gut health. Pair sauerkraut with apple slices for a crunchy and tangy snack.
BONUS TIP
One of the best times to eat sauerkraut for gut health is as a side dish during lunch or dinner. The probiotics in sauerkraut can help support the growth of beneficial bacteria in the gut, which can improve digestion and boost immunity.
DINNER: LENTIL AND VEGETABLE STIR-FRY
Stir-fry is a quick and easy dinner option that's also gut-friendly. Sauté lentils and your favourite vegetables in a pan with soy sauce and ginger for a flavorful and satisfying meal.
