]]> More and more studies are coming out about how your gut health effects way more than just your digestion. If your gut isn’t balanced, it can lead to fatigue, anxiety, perhaps even depressed, and more.

With the western diet being so out of whack with processed sugars and additives, it’s more important than ever to eat gut healthy food. Luckily, there are some surprising foods that are easy to incorporate into your diet that are full of probiotics!

Olives

A lot of people don’t realize that olives actually go through a fermentation process, and they’re rich in a gut-healthy bacteria called Lactobacillus. Although many people avoid them because of their high salt content, if you cut back in other areas of your diet that are salt-heavy, you shouldn’t have a problem adding in olives.

Miso

Another fermented product, miso a soybean paste that is famously used to make miso soup. Besides that, you can use miso as a salty element to elevate your cooking, whether that’s in rubs, marinades, dressings in more! Plus, it’s loaded with a live, active culture of bacteria.

Tempeh

While it’s usually used as a meat substitute, this soy product is actually fermented and also has a lot of probiotics in it. So kill two birds with one stone without having to harm any animals and add tempeh to your diet!

Instructions

  1. Sterilize a jar by pouring hot water over the outside and the lid. Wait until it dries and comes to room temperature to fill the mixture with it.
  2. Use a mandoline or a sharp knife to cut the cabbages into thin strips.
  3. Put the cabbage in a bowl with some salt and massage it for 10 minutes. This will draw out a lot of the water and will reduce the volume of the chopped cabbage.
  4. Use the mandoline again or a box grater to grate the rest of the ingredients.
  5. Massage all the ingredients for another few minutes.
  6. Pack the ingredients into the jar and cover it with the lid. Once a day pack the mixture down and taste the sauerkraut until it’s where you want it to be, usually about 10 days worth of fermentation.
