Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you know that gut and brain health are intimately linked.
Many companies sell products to support gut health, some of which can be useful, at specific times.
However, it’s easier - and less expensive - to support your gut health in your own kitchen.
This is a simple recipe that you can create in a few minutes, which contains miso, a paste made from fermented rice, chickpeas or soya beans.
It naturally - and deliciously - adds great gut bacteria to your meals.
The ginger and garlic add flavor - and other benefits - and the extra virgin olive oil contains others. However, the miso is the main gut-supportive ingredient.
You can drizzle it over salads and roasted vegetables, and add a dessertspoon onto soup just before you eat it. I like to have a jar handy for daily use!
It’ll take you about 10 minutes to make this dressing.
Ingredients
1 cup EVOO (extra virgin olive oil)
1/3 cup freshly squeezed lemon or lime juice
2 heaped tablespoons of miso paste
2 teaspoons of freshly grated ginger
1 teaspoon of freshly grated garlic
Method
Simply combine all the ingredients in a jar with a tight-fitting lid and shake well until all ingredients are well combined. Store in the fridge for up to eight days although it’s very likely you’ll have enjoyed it all by that time!
