My favorite brand is Emerald Cove, which you can buy for much cheaper on Amazon versus Whole Foods. It’s high-quality & NON-GMO. It comes dried, and to use it you simply let it soak in water for a couple minutes. You can also find it at specialty Japanese grocery stores!

Wakame is light, delicious & makes a great salad topping too!

Kimchi

Probiotic Rich
Improves Digestion
Vitamin A, B & C
Boosts Immune System

Kimchi is one of my favorite probiotic foods. Cabbage supports detoxification and helps your body remove waste & toxins while increasing your body’s ability to absorb nutrients. Since kimchi is fermented, it’s loaded with healthy bacteria aka probiotics, which improve your digestion and strengthen your immune system.

Radishes

Promotes healthy glowing skin
Vitamin C
Folic Acid & Vitamin B
Reduces signs of aging
Fiber
Improve digestion
Suppress Appetite
Prebiotics

Radishes are over 95% percent water, and are loaded with Vitamin C, which promotes healthy skin and stimulates collagen (bye premature wrinkles!). The folic acid & Vitamin B in radishes gives you glowing skin and reduces damage from UV rays and free radicals. Since radishes are so high in water, they fill you up faster and satisfy your hunger. Plus, fiber helps suppress your appetite and improves your digestion. They’re also packed with Prebiotics, non-digestible carbs that feed probiotics, so it’s important to incorporate both into your diet daily.

Wakame

Balances Hormones
Burns Fat
Omega 3’s

Wakame provides a boost of vital nutrients like, iron, manganese, and calcium which helps balance hormones naturally. It’s rich in fucoxanthin, (a catenoid found in seaweed), which promotes fat burning and increases liver function by helping to decrease bad cholesterol.
