This one is loaded with gut-healthy ingredients. Here’s the science👇🏼🤓
1️⃣🥔Cooked, then cooled potatoes are a resistant starch and can have a lesser blood sugar effect than just cooked potatoes.
2️⃣🍎ACV. The acetic acid found in vinegar can reduce the rate at which the body empties digested food (including glucose) into the bloodstream. So blood sugar levels can be more stable when we incorporate vinegar. This is always individual but it works for me anytime I’ve tested with my CGM.
3️⃣🦠Celery Pectin-based polysaccharides in celery, including a compound known as apiuman, have been shown to decrease instances of stomach ulcers, improve the lining of the stomach, and modulate stomach secretions.
Indulge in the wholesome goodness of Prebiotic Potato Salad, a flavorful dish that combines the heartiness of cooked and diced potatoes with the protein-packed goodness of boiled eggs. Enhancing the tanginess, a perfect blend of yellow mustard, nonfat Greek yogurt, and a splash of apple cider vinegar (ACV) creates a creamy dressing that coats each ingredient.
The crunch from diced celery, the zesty kick of fermented pickles, and the mild bite of red onion add layers of texture and flavor. Seasoned with just the right amount of salt and pepper, this Prebiotic Potato Salad promises a harmonious balance of taste and nutrition.
