Gut health is oh-so-popular right now…
But if you’re a little too busy to whip up a batch of your own sauerkraut or boil away some bone broth, never fear!
You can still reap the gut healing rewards with these quick ‘n’ easy additions to your smoothie…
Gelatin.
It’s no secret that we LOVE gelatin, but turns out, it’s not just for gummies and desserts! Gelatin is packed with protein and good bacteria too to help heal and seal your gut, plus (as it has no taste), it’s perfect to boost your favourite smoothie. Pop a teaspoonful into your blender before you blitz to both thicken your bevvy and get that nutritional hit.
Ginger.
This super spice is full of gut soothing properties! Not only has it been found to relieve IBS and gas, but it can help improve the way your gut absorbs precious nutrients too. Add a little ginger to our Make-Me-Over Mojito Smoothie for a zingy start to your day.
Kefir.
Wellness warriors, listen up! Kefir is a fermented dairy product – almost like a watery yoghurt – and it’s a great source of probiotics to help replenish your good gut bugs. It’s also low in lactose making it easily digestible and perfect for nearly everyone. While you can buy it ready-made at most health food shops, why not challenge yourself by making your own from granules or freeze-dried powder before adding a blob to your smoothies? Yum!
Soaked cashews.
Cashews are undoubtedly a delish snack, but just a handful of them also contains nearly a quarter of your daily magnesium. This is good news for your gut as magnesium is crucial in terms of activating digestive enzymes and regulating your bowel movements. Who knew?! After you activate your cashews, pop a handful into your smoothie for a nutty addition to your blend.
