A Happy Gut means a Happy You!

Thermomix® makes it simple to create real, wholesome food which supports your gut. From blending and chopping to fermenting and steaming, this can all be done in your Thermomix®, making it easy to prepare nourishing, gut-friendly meals for you and your family.

A healthy gut is all about balance. It's important to keep gluten and dairy to a minimum and focus on fibre rich vegetables, nuts and seeds.

Top Gut-friendly Ingredients

Supporting your gut health starts from the ingredients you use. Here are some of our recommendations for gut-friendly ingredients which you can prepare, cook and ferment at home.

• Fibre rich vegetables: These are essential for keeping digestion regular and helping the healthy bacteria in your gut. This includes leeks, onions, garlic, broccoli, spinach, kale, carrots and sweet potatoes.
• Fermented foods: Foods which have been fermented are packed with probiotics and help maintain a healthy gut. Why not try making your own kimchi, or trying out new recipes with sauerkraut.
• Nuts and seeds: These are rich in fibre and healthy fats. A great snack or perfect addition to most dishes to add texture and crunch. Try out recipes which include almonds, chia seeds, flaxseeds or make some energy balls to take to work or school.
• Herbs and spices: Certain herbs and spices help support digestion and are a great way to make your gut healthy. Ginger, turmeric, fennel, cumin and coriander are all great for helping to reduce bloating.

Foods to Avoid

Try to avoid highly processed foods, excess gluten and dairy as well as refined sugars. All of these can put your gut off balance and make you feel more bloated.
