Improve your gut health
Improve your gut health by eating 30 different plant based foods a week. Why is this important and how do I do it.
Classic Sauerkraut
Try this simple recipe for making classic sauerkraut using raw cabbage. This fermented food is great for your gut. If you are new to eating fermented foods, start with a small forkful a day so you are not introducing more probiotics into your gut than it can handle. Sauerkraut is best eaten cold as heating destroys the good enzymes and probiotics, but adding it to a warm soup or on top of your sausages is fine. The easiest way to consume sauerkraut is as a condiment but it can also be stirred into just about anything from pasta, stir fries, and smoothies to mashed potatoes.
Smokey beet burger
As the summer approaches these burgers are great for BBQs. They have a lovely smokey flavour and juicy texture with three times more fibre than your average standard meat burger.
