A few takeaways from our first Gut Health Class with Jill:
Registered Dietitian, Licensed Nutritionist
We learned that adding probiotics (the good bacteria in our large intestine/colon) into your daily routine is simple. For example, add Siggy's @siggisdairy plain, nonfat yogurt into your diet. You can pick some up at Real Food Market and Deli, Safeway, . It's great for smoothies and dressings—here's a yummy homemade dressing she shared:
RANCH DRESSING:
- 1/2 c. Greek or Icelandic yogurt, such as Siggi's nonfat plain yogurt, contains the most protein and a good amount of gut bacteria.
- 1/4 c. olive oil
- 1 tsp. dill
- 1 tsp. onion powder
- 1 tsp. garlic powder or 1 clove of fresh garlic, crushed
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 1 tsp. honey
- 1 TBSP. apple cider vinegar
- 3 TBSP. buttermilk
To blend, use a blender or mini food processor for a smooth, consistent texture or finely chop ingredient and use a whisk.
Jill believes you can keep things easy by adding simple food to your diet to feed your gut microbiome.
