Nourishing Your Inner Kingdom Smoothie
The easier ways you have to incorporate recipes that reestablish a healthy intestinal flora, the better. Having a smoothie loaded with beneficial microbes is a daily addition to your diet that will get you awesome results over time. I know personally I can’t go without my gut smoothie a day. I find the biggest thing that changes is my mood. Gut health is directly linked to mood and brain health.
My Favorite Gut Health Smoothie Ingredients
● Ground flax - high in fiber and has a mucosal effect in the gut
● Kefir or water kefir - contains diverse unique bacteria strains different from yogurt
● Coconut yogurt or regular plain organic yogurt - high in beneficial bacteria
● Berries - tasty, high in healthy fiber and antioxidants
● Flax seed oil - for its ability to help lubricate the intestinal tract
● Cod liver oil - for omega-3 and gut nourishing enzymes
● Cinnamon - for its blood sugar stabilizing effects
● Banana - for its prebiotic power
Put these together and you’ve got yourself a super powerful smoothie for helping your gut get strong and healthy. And in turn you help your whole body, and that’s what holistic health is all about!
