Lunch bowls make organising your midday meal effortless, and they are a brilliant way to ensure you are getting a balanced meal with lots of vegetables, a few complex carbs, good fats and some protein. This recipe is rich in omega-3s, protein and fermented goodness. Sauerkraut contains a host of beneficial pro-, pre- and postbiotics. Salmon, eggs and red cabbage are all great sources of L-glutamine, an amino acid that helps strengthen the gut lining and prevent leaky gut syndrome.
