Just add these not-so-secret ingredients…
The probiotic health trend is having a massive moment right now and it’s moving away from those tablets you take with antibiotics, to drinkable or edible fermented foods like kimchi and kefir.
Next time you’re drinking a smoothie, add some probiotics to the mix: the lactic acid bacteria in the drink create an environment in your tum perfect for better absorption of nutrients. You can get your fix from Probyo, a range of live cultured drinks loaded with healthy gut bacteria, or kefir, a fermented milk drink made with kefir grains that’s been drunk for years in the Eurasia region.
We’ve rounded up two must-try recipes loaded with probiotics that’ll boost your immunity – and are totally delicious!
