Boost Your Gut Health With These Easy Snack Recipes

Your gut has influence over, well, pretty much all of your body. It’s something we covered with naturopath, clinical nutritionist and founder of The Gut Cø Pernille Jensen, who gave us all her gut health tips. In fact, it’s actually possible to eat your way to happiness by consuming certain fibrous foods. Avocadoes and potatoes are also good for boosting your gut health.

That’s why, with the help of The Gut Cø, we’ve put together three easy wins that not only taste delicious but will also give your gut health a boost.
