Tip of the week: Brewers Yeast!

Brewers Yeast could be the unsung power food. For years, I made the mistake in thinking that all yeast is the same, but it’s not. Brewer’s yeast is packed with vitamins (including the Bs), minerals, folic acid, antioxidants, protein (16 g per 2 rounded tbs.) and fiber (6g per 2 rounded tbs). Plus, it’s fermented, which helps support our immunity, and a lot more.

Sprinkle it on salads or freshly popped popcorn. Kids love it so much that many of my kids’ friends ask me to make this “special” popcorn when they come over. This makes a great after-school/camp snack.
