Easy Cole Slaw

One of the best things for your gut is sauerkraut.

I tried a couple of different homemade versions in the past few months,

and loved them!

Alas, they didn't love me.

I'm not positive that kraut is what was causing a bit of

digestive disruption, but since I've stopped eating it,

I've been feeling a lot better.

How can something that's so good for you,

not be good for me?

I've learned to go with the flow,

so I had to let it go.

I still wanted an excuse to grow cabbage in the garden,

so I had to find another way to get it into my life.

Enter Cole Slaw.

Not just any cole slaw.

This is the easiest, quickest cole slaw recipe 

and what's even better, it's addicting!

Now I can have my cabbage and digest it too!

This doesn't have the health benefits of fermented foods,

but cabbage is one of the best sources of

fiber, can aid in lowering cholesterol and

blood pressure, as well as being packed with

Vitamins C and K.

It's even been studied as a cancer preventer.

It's the perfect side for burgers (veggie and otherwise),

bar-b-q, and picnic suppers.

Lisa at Downshiftology shared this version

(I've altered it just a bit),

as well as a mayo-free variation.

You can click on the link below 

with her vlog's name for the original recipe.

I don't know about you,

but I'll pretty much make anything this summer

that doesn't require heating up the kitchen.

Give it a go!
