Fermented foods (aka foods with probiotics or live and active cultures) are KEY for improving and sustaining good gut health and digestion. In addition to eating plants and fiber, fermented foods help to build diversity in the microbiome which has several benefits. Most importantly, probiotics reduce overall inflammation which essentially improves all body systems. Studies show eating more probiotics foods leads to decrease in depression, stress, and improved digestion.
Recipes 👇
Great Gut Green Smoothie
- 1/4 cup kefir
- 1-1 1/2 cups water
- 1/3 frozen banana
- 1/2 cup frozen zucchini pieces
- 1/2 cup frozen spinach (or any greens)
- 1 serving vanilla protein powder (amzn.to/3NTyccD)
- 1/4 avocado
- 2 tbsp ground flax seed (or chia seeds)
- 1 tbsp moringa powder (optional)
Place all ingredients in a blender. Blend until smooth.
Maple Mustard Dressing
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tsp dijon mustard
- 1/2 tsp maple syrup
- Pinch of salt
Whisk all ingredients to combine.
Slow Cooker Carnitas
- 2-3 lb pork roast or shoulder
- Fajita, taco, or Mexican seasoning
- 2 bay leaves
- 1/2 onion sliced
- 1 cup water or broth
- Avocado oil (for greasing the pan)
Season pork roast all over with seasoning. Set in a large skillet (such as a cast iron) over medium-high heat and sear it until brown on all sides.
Place in a slow cooker (fat side up) with the water (or broth), bay leaves, and onion. Cook on Low for 8 hours or on high 5-6 hours, until it’s completely tender and shreds easily with a fork. Remove the pork from the slow cooker and shred on a cutting board. If you like the pork juicier, use a large spoon and dress the pork with drippings from the slow cooker, to your desired amount.
Serve the carnitas over chopped romaine or leaf lettuce or in a taco, add other toppings such as bell peppers, black beans, avocado, pepitas, cilantro, and a generous tablespoon of sauerkraut.
