I then add 2 minced garlic cloves and 1 grated inch of fresh ginger which help boost digestion, along with 1 teaspoon turmeric powder and a pinch of black pepper to help the turmeric work its magic.

Finally, I stir in chopped kale, 1/2 cup sauerkraut, and 1/2 cup cooked quinoa, plus a tablespoon of coconut oil, salt, and lemon juice. This nutrient packed recipe supports a gut health diet that pairs nicely with ideas from liver detox phases and other healthy trends.

FAQ

Foods For Healing The Gut Recipe Substitutions and Variations

• If you don’t have organic chicken bone broth, you can use a rich vegetable broth or even beef broth if you’re into that.
• If carrots are missing in your kitchen, diced parsnips or even sweet potatoes can be a nice swap.
• If you’re not a big garlic fan, try using a bit of shallots or garlic-infused olive oil instead.
• Old fashioned fresh ginger can be replaced by about 1/4 teaspoon of ground ginger – just remember ground is stronger so use a little less.
• If you’re all out of coconut oil, olive oil works just fine for cooking this up.

Pro Tips

1. Try using freshly grated turmeric instead of powder when you can, it gives your broth a brighter kick and don’t forget that pinch of pepper to help it work its magic.

2. Make sure your veggies get soft before adding the broth. It helps the flavors mix better and stops some parts from burning, especially the garlic which can turn bitter if cooked too long.

3. Add your kale or spinach towards the end so they still have a bit of crunch, and fold in the quinoa gently so it doesn’t get all mushy.

4. If you have time, let the broth rest for a minute or two after you squeeze in the lemon juice. This little pause helps the flavors settle and makes everything taste even better.
