3 Gut-Healing Smoothies Using Only Whole Foods

💚 Green Glow Smoothie (for Digestion + Detox)

Ingredients:

• 1 cup spinach

• ½ cucumber

• 1 green apple (peeled for less fiber if sensitive)

• Juice of ½ lemon

• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger (peeled and chopped)

• 1 cup coconut water

• A few mint leaves (optional)

Why it works:
Spinach and cucumber are hydrating and easy to digest, while ginger stimulates digestion and reduces bloating. Apple adds prebiotic fiber, and mint calms the stomach.

🌱 Pro tip: Serve cold with ice and sip slowly to activate digestion.

🍌 Banana Oat Smoothie (for Gut Soothing & Energy)

Ingredients:

• 1 ripe banana

• 2 tablespoons rolled oats (soaked overnight if possible)

• 1 cup almond milk (or oat milk)

• 1 tablespoon flaxseeds

• ½ teaspoon cinnamon

• A dash of vanilla extract (optional)

Why it works:

Bananas are rich in potassium and soothing for the stomach. Oats and flaxseeds add soluble fiber that feeds good gut bacteria and helps with regularity.

💛 Optional boost: Add 1 Medjool date for sweetness and extra fiber.

💜 Berry Ginger Smoothie (for Inflammation & Gut Flora)

Ingredients:

• 1 cup frozen blueberries or mixed berries

• ½ cup plain coconut yogurt (unsweetened)

• 1 tablespoon chia seeds

• ½ teaspoon fresh grated ginger

• ¾ cup water or almond milk

Why it works:
Berries are full of antioxidants and polyphenols that support the gut lining. Coconut yogurt adds healthy probiotics, and chia seeds provide omega-3s and gentle fiber.

🍓 Vegan note: Choose a dairy-free yogurt with live cultures for gut benefits.
