Tuna Boats

This is a great high protein and fiber option to keep you nourished and full, feeding your good gut bugs and keeping your blood sugar and hormones stable. Can eat with some flax crackers (or other crackers) instead of pepper if you’d like. I also love adding some mustard on top for an extra punch, and some sauerkraut with it for a powerful boost of probiotics. Enjoy!

Little tips:

As tuna can be high in Mercury make sure to use good brands of canned tuna like Wild planet or Safe catch
