Happy Monday! This Wednesday you’ll start the Week Four Meal Plans. Please read to the bottom. You will use ingredients from the week four meal plan to make a cultured vegetable salad tomorrow night (Tuesday). I recommend that you look over the week four meal plans, instructions and recipes today. Skim through the shopping list and tick off what you already have on hand. Then, shop for the week four meal plan tomorrow, so you’ll have the freshest ingredients on hand for the week ahead. 
This week you have the option of soaking your almonds again. If you would rather opt to include raw almonds over raw soaked almonds, feel free. However, soaking almonds is incredibly easy! I’ll send you a reminder tomorrow to soak your almonds overnight to use in the Week Four meal plans. How to Make Cultured “Probiotic” Vegetable Salad Cultured veggies are one of the healthiest foods that you can give yourself on a regular basis. Most other cultures eat cultured veggies on a regular basis. I call this salad ‘cultured veggies,’ or ‘probiotic salad,’ or ‘sauerkraut.’ Now, stay with me! This is the next generation of sauerkraut! It is tangy and delicious, and it supplies your body with ample, life giving probiotics, and digestive enzymes. Tomorrow (Tuesday) make a cultured vegetable salad that will ferment for seven days. This salad is included on the meal plan on the 6th and 7th day of the week four meal plans.
