We know you’ve heard all about probiotics, as probiotics can help with gut health, clear skin, healthy brain function and can keep your immunity strong and well. I’d love to introduce you to prebiotics!

Prebiotics are plant fibers that feed your good bacteria (think food for bacteria), and they are essential to your body’s health and wellness. Prebiotics help your good bacteria to flourish. It’s important to have a healthy balance of good bacteria in your beautiful body, and to make sure you are getting both pre and pro-bacteria along with your daily vitamins and protein.

favorite prebiotic foods include: oats, bananas, dandelion greens, asparagus, flax seeds, chia seeds, edamame, avocado, raw garlic and onion.

Just as it’s important to focus on your health and daily meals, it’s essential to get a healthy serving of prebiotic foods on your plate every day to feed your probiotics and continue to keep them strong! I’ve selected a few of my favorite prebiotic recipes for you to try. Delish![olists num=3][olists num=2][olists num=1]
