Happy Gut Bowl
For good digestion and immunity, it’s so important to eat foods that support balanced gut flora. Foods like these will help to promote regular digestion and also suppress the pathogenic bacteria and yeast that can cause imbalances like Candida.
Eating probiotic foods regularly will keep your digestive system healthy, happy, and balanced. One way to do this is by adding naturally fermented foods, such as yogurt, kefir, olives, and sauerkraut to your diet. Sauerkraut in particular is an excellent source of gut-friendly probiotic bacteria.
This Happy Gut Bowl can help to restore that important digestive balance. It’s a healthy, well balanced meal full of color and texture. A flavorful bowl of goodness that includes both sauerkraut and a delicious sauerkraut vinaigrette, to help restore digestive balance and build a healthy, happy gut.
If you’re interested in learning more about sauerkraut, check out my post on the health benefits of sauerkraut and how to make it at home. You can also use store-bought sauerkraut, but please make sure that you buy a high-quality brand. It should be naturally fermented, contain no added vinegar, and will be found in the refrigerated section of your grocery store.
For breakfast, lunch or dinner, the Happy Gut Bowl is a great way to feed your gut good bacteria in your fight against Candida. Enjoy!

Excellent dish! This is really yummy.
Healthy and delicious recipe! I added a teaspoon of Italian seasoning, and only used 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Never imagined a bowl of vegetables could be such a treat. Using sauerkraut juice as a dressing is a great idea, since I’m avoiding vinegar. I also felt better afterwards. I made this several times and look forward to making this salad regularly.
This was excellent!! Sauerkraut vinegaret was a pleasant surprise.
Amazing! Taste delicious and I could eat everyday. So glad I found this, feel light a great after eating it. Very easy and quick to make. 5 stars!!
Excellent! Thank you very much, it’s delicious! I’ve never got such a tasty diet dish ❤️
