Creme Fraiche
This is a key ingredient in the GAPS milkshake but, trust me, once you’ve tasted this beautiful cream, you will be looking for ways to add it to everything you eat. I find it to be the ultimate ‘dip’ for chicken, vegetables, fruit… I stop short of dipping my fingers in it, but I can’t say as much for a small spoon as I pass the fridge.
GAPS Milkshake
GAPS stands for Gut & Psychology Syndrome. This milkshake provides an immense amount of vitamins, minerals, probiotic, choline, vitamin A, calcium, healthy fat, protein, antioxidants and anti-inflammatory foods. As you can see, it’s action packed, and oh so tasty!!
Meat Stock
If you experience a chronic health issue, candida and/or the pain of inflammation, and you haven’t yet explored the concept of leaky gut condition, now is the time to do it. Meat stock – a rich source of collagen – is a key food strategy for rebuilding and protecting gut lining and correcting bacteria balances (gut flora). This soup is often the first step in a recovery process.
Homemade Yogurt
Commercial yogurts can often be loaded with processed sugars as well as stabilizers and fillers to create custard-like texture in low-fat options. The good news is, we can get what we need – gut-friendly bacteria for our digestive systems – by making our own yogurt and creating a healthy breeding ground for essential probiotics.
Kefir
With its multiple lacto probiotic strains – Kefir is packed with a great dose of healthy bacteria that helps address inflammation and gut health generally. Kefir is a complete protein, and is packed with Vitamins K2, D, B 12, B2, Calcium, Magnesium as well as yeast balancing bacteria and its healthy bacteria profile is far more powerful than yogurt.
(Gut-soothing) Fall Soup
This recipe brings together the gut building properties of chicken Meat
Stock (link recipe) and Creme Fraiche (link recipe) then kicks them both
up a nutritional notch with ingredients sure to please.
Adrenal Jar Tea
This tea is a complete electrolyte to hydrate the kidney, and healthy fat
to nourish the adrenal gland. Kidneys and adrenals work in unison to
regulate the body’s functions in the presence of stress hormones. This
tea with honey and coconut oil, will also balance blood sugar levels.
When the kidneys and adrenals are treated together in this nutritional
bath, people typically experience a calming effect.
