]]> Probiotics are healthy microorganisms such as bacteria that have all kinds of health benefits for the body and brain. They can improve digestive health, reduce depression, enhance skin health and promote a healthy heart.

Here are 5 foods that are loaded with probiotics.

Probiotic Yogurt

Yogurt can promote bone health, reduce high blood pressure, improve digestion and relieve the symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome. But make sure that the yogurt you buy has active or live cultures. Processed yogurt often has no probiotics and can in fact exacerbate problems related to bad bacteria.

Sauerkraut

Sauerkraut is rich in probiotics as well as a great source of vitamins C, B and K. It is also high in sodium and contains manganese and iron.

Kimchi

This spicy Korean side dish is made from fermented cabbage like Sauerkraut. It is high in some vitamins and minerals, including vitamin D and iron. In addition to the probiotics, the lactic acid can be beneficial to digestive health.

Miso

This fermented soybean paste is a popular Japanese seasoning. It is rich in probiotics, as well as a good source of protein fiber, vitamins and minerals.

Prawn & Noodle Miso Soup ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This is so simple that it doesn’t really count as cooking. Ready in 15 minutes, beautifully healthy and can be made with whatever you have to hand. As long as you have a decent miso paste, leftover salmon, tofu or chicken. some green veg, such as sugar snaps, green beans or frozen edamame. The results will be nutritious and delicious. Enjoy! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ INGREDIENTS ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 1 heaped tablespoon of miso paste (I like @misotasty ) 700ml boiling water 150g raw prawns 2 bulbs pak choi 1 chilli – sliced 125g dried noodles Lime to serve Optional sesame seeds ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ METHOD Dissolve the miso paste in boiling water in a saucepan.

"You cannot get through a single day without having an impact on the world around you. What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make." — Jane Goodall ? . For those that know of Earth Day, it shouldn’t be just one single day that we keep the Earth in our thoughts. Every action you make can leave a positive or negative mark on the world. I have chosen to do everything I can to minimize harm to the Earth. And while I am no where near perfect and still making mistakes along the way, I want to do my best to learn more and more about the things I can do to minimize the damage already done. ? . I made a choice almost 9 years ago to go vegan. Originally, that choice was specifically for health. As time has gone on, I realized what a powerful choice that was. Even past the ethical side, it’s probably one of the least harmful to the environment around us. ?Food production, water, hunger, deforestation, ocean life, etc…its all heavily impacted by the choices on our plate. And while I’m not expecting everyone to go vegan, I hope that this is an encouragement for you to consider accepting more plants in your life, become informed about the environment and practices that impact the Earth, make more conscious decisions towards your health, learn more empathy towards yourself and others, and become active members of the solution. That can look like replacing meat with a serving of plant based protein options, being involved with the political scene and making sure that individuals making it into office care about our planet, choosing reusable containers, packing your own lunch…really almost anything. Remember that every small move absolutely counts. ♻ . For dinner tonight decided on some sweet baked plantains, broccoli, baked tempeh, avocado, greens and zucchini. I made my tempeh by dicing 1/3 of a block of tempeh into cubes and tossing it together with 1/2 tbsp soy sauce, 1/2 tsp sriracha, 1 tsp nutritional yeast, 1 tsp maple syrup. ??

Kimchi

Kimchi is actually a fermented cabbage, often used in Asian meals. It is packed in Vitamin C and healthy bacteria.

Dark Chocolate

You sure are happy to see dark chocolate on the list. It is also placed on the probiotic-rich list of foods.

Yogurt

The natural probiotic we all need in our lives is yogurt. This is a very versatile food you can include in your meals in so many ways. When shopping for yogurt make sure that you read the ingredient list. You are looking for an organic product, made with cow, sheep or goat’s milk.

Back from a wonderful week on the plane and some beautiful cities near and far. I had two nights in Tel Aviv, one in Lisbon (one of my favorite cities in the world) and lots of time in Berlin where I had the best time with our god daughter Tessa @tessa_geh ! Now I am happy to be back home. For me it’s a luxury to be back in my kitchen and to prepare exactly what I feel like eating. This morning, before I went on an especially long walk with Leni ?, we had almond yogurt with lemon peel and almond butter, homemade granola, toasted almonds and pine nuts and some really juicy black berries. Now Leni is fast asleep and I will walk to the market to cater for a long weekend. Hope you are all well…sending lots of love from sunny and warm Munich. #backhome #backinthekitchen #breakfast #breakfastbowl #breakfastclub #breakfastlover #veganfood #veganbowl @veganbowls #bestofvegan @bestofvegan @kayla_itsines #cleaneating #healthyfood #healthy #healthyliving #wholefoods #plantbased #yogurt #almondbutter #blackberries #berries #granola #homemade #homesweethome #food #foodlover #foodie #foodshare #foodphotography #love #gratitude #comfortfood
