got christmas leftovers and no clue what to do with them? we’ve gut you. 🎄

two easy open-sandwich options:
1. turkey + sauerkraut + fermented cranberry sauce on sourdough
2. brie + fermented cranberry sauce + walnuts & seeds on sourdough

DIY fermented cranberry sauce:
gently prick 300g cranberries → add to a 500ml jar with 2cm sliced ginger, juice of 1 orange + 1 cinnamon stick → cover with 600g raw honey and stir → lid on, leave at room temp (out of sunlight) 2–4 weeks (it’s delish anytime).

-as well as increased beneficial short-chain fatty acids (anti-inflammatory metabolites)

-gut motility can be improved aka. helping everything move along nicely in there 

-exercise has also been linked with improved mood 

-AND bonus points for getting out in nature, also linked to improved mood and microbial diversity
