Adding probiotics to a healthy diet is a great way to support gut health, immune function and controlling inflammation. Combining them with prebiotics, can help feed the microorganisms in your gut and keep it healthy, creating symbiotics. You can find prebiotics in almonds, apples, bananas, broccoli, flax seeds, garlic, onions, along with others. 

Likewise, we get probiotics primarily from eating fiber-rich and fermented foods, like yogurt, sauerkraut, tempeh, kefir, miso, kombucha, kimchi, and so on. But you can also get them from natural supplements. Today, we would like to share two delicious recipes that are rich in probiotics:
