Easy Gut-Healing Probiotic Power Bowl with Sauerkraut

Why This Works: Leafy greens add a wealth of antioxidants and vitamins, and the star, raw sauerkraut, introduces vital probiotics that nurture a balanced gut microbiome—a cornerstone of a strong immune system and reduced systemic inflammation. Quinoa provides a complete plant-based protein and fiber, stabilizing blood sugar, while the avocado delivers beneficial monounsaturated fats crucial for cellular health. Together, these ingredients create a synergistic effect, offering sustained energy and powerful anti-inflammatory benefits.

Vibrant anti-inflammatory gut health bowl featuring fluffy quinoa, fresh greens, creamy avocado slices, and probiotic-rich purple sauerkraut, perfect for a nutritious and delicious meal.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup cooked quinoa
  • 1-2 cups kale and/or arugula
  • 1/2 avocado
  • 1/2 cup sauerkraut, unpasteurized for gut-healthy probiotics
  • 1-2 tablespoons pumpkin seeds
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tsp lemon juice dressing
  • Salt and pepper ot taste

Preparation

  1. Prep in Bulk: Cook a large batch of quinoa on the weekend and store it in the fridge. This makes assembling this bowl in 5-minutes possible for lunch or dinner.
  2. In a large bowl, lightly massage the kale with about 1/2 teaspoon of olive oil and a small pinch of salt. This helps to tenderize it. If using arugula, skip the massage.
  3. Assemble the Base: Place the cooked and cooled quinoa in the center of the bowl, surrounding it with the greens.
  4. Add Toppings: Place the sliced or cubed avocado and the mound of sauerkraut on top of the greens and beside the quinoa.
  5. Finish: Drizzle the remaining olive oil and lemon juice over the entire bowl. Sprinkle the pumpkin seeds over the bowl. Season with pepper and additional salt if needed. Enjoy!
