Kefir Apple Bowls

Print Recipe Pin Recipe
Apples are powerful food, like medicine for your body. These apples make the whole house smell like the holidays. Apples have been associated with a number of benefits that could help promote long-term health, but one of my favorite things that apples, and more importantly the peel, can do is feed the all-important bacteria called Akkermansia muciniphila. Akkermansia muciniphila helps to maintain our gut lining and has many health benefits. Our gut lining keeps us protected from the outside world so eating a lot of apples is a really good thing.
