Probiotics are SO good for you and kraut is an awesome way to get some probiotics in your diet! Here are FIVE delicious ways to eat kraut! #sponsored

There’s been a major focus on gut health recently and food packed with probiotics have gained a lot of attention. Because raw, naturally fermented foods are an amazing source of probiotics, kraut has become a fan favorite.

Why probiotics? Ok, I’m definitely not the most qualified person to lay out the research. But, the cliff notes are this: probiotics strengthen your immune system, boost your energy, support healthy weight management, help your body absorb vitamins and minerals, AND they aid in brain and mood functions.

There are a ton of reasons to add some probiotics into your life. One, fun and really delicious way is by eating kraut! Today I’m laying out FIVE tasty ways to eat kraut, recipes included.
