This is a great way to ensure that your diet includes foods which have good bacteria in them, which is good for your gut health. Think of it as the vegan alternative to drinking one of those little bottles of probiotic yoghurt drink.

Hi.
This is a no no for me as I don’t like yoghurt in any way shape or form.
Thanks
