Overnight Oats
This week’s episode talked about the importance of prebiotics and probiotics. Prebiotics are non-digestible foods that provide an environment for probiotics (good bacteria) to grow and thrive. Probiotics are the good bacteria that help our digestive system by keeping the balance of good versus bad/harmful bacteria. Some examples of prebiotics are: bananas, oats, onion, tomatoes, beans, and garlic. Some examples of probiotics are: yogurt, kimchi, miso, and kombucha.
This week’s recipe has prebiotics and probiotics.
