Prebiotic Poke Bowl with Miso-Glazed Salmon
This tasty poke bowl contains microbiome-loving foods to keep your taste buds and your gut satisfied. Fermented foods such as miso, tamari, and sauerkraut are naturally rich in probiotics and introduce beneficial bacteria to the gut. Avocado, garlic, and brown rice are prebiotics that feed the ‘good bugs’ in the gut to support digestion and overall health.
