  When it comes to meal prepping, the best veggies are ones that hold up well over a few days in the fridge (or even freezer). Here's a list of great options: Sturdy, Long-Lasting Veggies (Great for Roasting, Sautéing, or Steaming) Broccoli – Roasts well and stays firm. Cauliflower – Same as broccoli; also great for mashing or ricing. Brussels sprouts – Roast up crispy and reheat well. Carrots – Super versatile, great raw or cooked. Sweet potatoes – Technically a starch, but nutrient-packed and reheats great. Zucchini – Best sautéed or grilled; still good a few days later. Bell peppers – Great raw, roasted, or stir-fried. Green beans – Steam or sauté; they stay tasty in the fridge. Leafy Greens (Best Added Fresh or Lightly Wilted) Kale – Holds up better than spinach; good in sautés or soups. Spinach – Best added fresh or stirred into hot dishes at the end. Cabbage – Super hearty, great for slaws, stir-fries, or sautés. Other Solid ...

Think of probiotics as your body's "good guys." They help maintain a healthy balance of gut flora, which is the complex ecosystem of microorganisms that live in your digestive tract. When this balance is disrupted (due to poor diet, stress, illness, antibiotics, etc.), harmful bacteria...
