Kimchi/saurkraut/pickled foods

The greek yogurt is really the only daily source of probiotics we have in Commons, and though it is great, some other daily rotating options would be awesome as probiotics are so important to gut health and digestion.

Many thanks for your napin. In addition to Greek yogurt, we offer several other probiotic options at Commons, including bananas, apples, blueberries, tempeh, pickles, and coconut milk sour cream—just to name a few. Additionally, we will be adding sauerkraut to the menu.
