Easy Probiotic Recipes for Gut Health L. Reuteri Yogurt for Sleep?
Gut Health & Better Sleep
If you're searching for a healthy dessert that supports gut health and promotes better sleep, I have an easy probiotic recipe for gut health.
Our bodies crave balance, especially after dinner. Too much sugar can lead to bloating, poor sleep, and that frustrating 2 a.m. wake-up call. But this sweet, simple yogurt dessert checks all the right boxes.
How L. Reuteri Supports Women’s Gut Health
L. reuteri yogurt offers a gentle yet powerful boost to women’s health by supporting digestion, strengthening the gut microbiome, and promoting hormonal balance. This unique probiotic strain has been shown to reduce inflammation, enhance nutrient absorption, and even support skin health from within.
For women navigating hormonal shifts, whether from menstruation, pregnancy, or menopause, L. reuteri may help regulate mood and reduce bloating. Plus, it encourages the production of oxytocin, the "bonding hormone," which can uplift emotional well-being and reduce stress. Regularly enjoying L. reuteri yogurt isn't just a gut-friendly habit — it's a delicious, science-backed act of self-care.
The Best Time to Drink Yogurt for Digestion
I’ve been eating L. reuteri yogurt just before bedtime, and I have to say, it has become a dreamy little ritual. Almost like clockwork, the moment I finish it, the yawns begin. It’s as if my body gets the memo: time to wind down. My sleep feels deeper, more restful, like I’ve finally found my way into the good kind of slumber. And the mornings? I wake up refreshed, energized, and honestly, a little unstoppable. Ready to take on the day like a woman with purpose (and probiotics on her side).
How to Make L-Reuteri Yogurt
Ingredients
You will need a Digital Yogurt Maker.
One Lt Organic Half & Half.
2 caps Probiotic L-Reuteri.
One Tbsp Inulin Prebiotic Fiber
Instructions
Pulverize and mix 2 tablets of Probiotic L-Reuteri with one Tbsp of Inulin Prebiotic Fiber in a clean ceramic or glass bowl. Add 2 Tbsp of Half & Half and stir until dissolved. Then, add the rest of the Half & Half.
Pour the mix into the yogurt maker. Set up the temperature at 100°F and the timer for 36 hours. After 36 hours, let it rest in the fridge for 8 hours.
My Dessert
Once you have the yogurt in the fridge, you can make it my treat. Remember, it’s made with homemade L. Reuteri yogurt, fermented for 36 hours to pack in powerful probiotics that restore gut flora and support digestion, so it will be the best dessert for you.
In a bowl, add half a cup of the L-Reuteri yogurt. Add a few drops of stevia, or a drizzle of maple syrup, and a handful of Organic frozen blueberries. Quick and easy. The result? A low-sugar, high-benefit dessert that’s creamy, slightly tangy, and incredibly satisfying.
The bonus? As soon as I eat, I feel calm and ready for bed. This little bowl of joy has transformed my evenings. No bloating or sugar crash. Just deep, dreamy sleep.
Small changes = big difference. Especially when they taste like dessert.
