Recipes your microbiome will thank you for

Everyday meals built around two simple ideas: plenty of plant fiber, and something fermented most days. Nothing here needs a specialty shop.

Breakfast

Overnight oats with kefir & berries

5 min + overnight

Why it helps: Beta-glucan fiber from oats plus live cultures from kefir — a classic prebiotic and probiotic pairing.

  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 3/4 cup plain kefir
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1/2 cup mixed berries
  • 1 tsp honey, cinnamon

Stir oats, kefir and chia in a jar, refrigerate overnight, then top with berries, honey and cinnamon.

Green banana & flax smoothie

5 min

Why it helps: Slightly green banana carries resistant starch, a favourite fuel for butyrate-producing bacteria.

  • 1 slightly green banana
  • 1 cup unsweetened yogurt
  • 1 tbsp ground flaxseed
  • Handful spinach
  • 1/2 cup water or milk

Blend everything until smooth. Drink within a few minutes of blending.
