If you’re trying to look after your gut health, we’d usually tell you to lay off the dessert.
After all, a diet high in sugar is linked to gut issues like bloating and constipation. No thanks!
But that doesn’t mean you have to say goodbye to dessert forever! Here are five low-sugar treats that will actually give your gut some lovin’.
1. Gorgeous gelatin.
We talk a lot about the gut-lovin’ goodness that is gelatin. Gelatin can help heal and seal the gut mucosa – the smooth protective lining of the gut (sounds gross, but it’s important!).
In fact we’re so convinced of the powers of gelatin, we’ve just released another eBook: I Quit Sugar: The Mini Book of Gut Lovin’ Desserts! Here’s just one of the quirky creative recipes you’ll find inside.

2. Blueberries.
Add this one to your “list of reasons to eat blueberries every day”.
Aside from their powerful antioxidant properties, scientists reckon they can help diversify the good bacteria in your gut. Plus, they’re full of fibre to keep everything moving along.

3. Kefir.
Kefir is a fermented dairy product, kind of like a supercharged yoghurt. It’s packed with probiotics than can help keep your microbiome in balance.
And because it’s partially fermented, your body can digest and metabolise its nutrients much more easily. Thanks bacteria!

4. Kombucha.
This fizzy probiotic tea is another boon for digestion and gut health. And it tastes particularly delicious in these vanilla peach gummies.

5. Dark chocolate.
Cue the chorus of hallelujah, chocolate is actually a probiotic! A few squares of the dark stuff (stick to 85 per cent or higher) can help to normalise gut microbial activities.
Why not treat yourself with a batch of Jazzy Jaffa Cakes from our new eBook for double the gut lovin’ goodness?
