Pear & Pecan Stovetop Crumble with Yogurt
A probiotic AND prebiotic rich breakfast that your gut microbes will thank you for!
Why your gut will love it
FIBRE-RICH: pears, oats, chia seeds, and pecans all provide different types of fibre. These fibres are PREBIOTICS - i.e. food for your gut bacteria.
PROBIOTICS: yogurt is rich in probiotics (i.e. healthy live bacteria).
Gut health & nutrition tidbit
We need both probiotics & prebiotics. Probiotics are live bacteria. We can get probiotics from fermented foods, such as kefir, yogurt, sauerkraut, and kimchi. Prebiotics are the foods your gut bacteria eat. These are different types of fibres. Thus, a fibre-rich diet provides great fuel for your good gut microbes!
