Spinach is a fiber-rich green that feeds good gut bacteria, acting as a prebiotic. It’s also high in vitamins like A and C, which are essential for immune health.
Tomatoes are rich in fiber and antioxidants, and when sundried, they become even more concentrated in nutrients. The fiber acts as a prebiotic, nourishing the beneficial bacteria in your digestive system.
Orzo may not have probiotic properties on its own, but it's a wonderful vessel for absorbing all the probiotic goodness of the sauce. Choose a whole wheat or gluten-free orzo for additional fiber.
Not only will this recipe make your taste buds fall in love, but your gut will thank you too! Let’s get cooking!
