Gut Healthy Smoothie!

Gut Healthy Smoothie Recipe! My delicious gut healing smoothie recipe is made with hemp seeds, yogurt or kefir, coconut water, and frozen fruit for a perfectly balanced breakfast. This is the best morning smoothie for gut health.

There are two different gut healing smoothie options in this recipe. You can make my original layered strawberry mango smoothie with chia pudding on the bottom for an even gut healthier breakfast. Or make the easier version with just one layer of smoothie. Either way, this gut health smoothie is so healthy and so delicious.

ARE SMOOTHIES GOOD FOR THE GUT?

As a registered dietitian who specializes in gut health, I frequently recommend smoothies for gut health! Smoothies are an excellent way to get in extra servings of antioxidant rich fruits and even vegetables.

I also love to add nuts and seeds to my easy gut healthy smoothie recipes because many of us are not getting enough healthy fats in our diet like hemp seeds, chia seeds, etc.

GUT HEALING BENEFITS OF SMOOTHIES

1. High in antioxidants. The antioxidants from fruits in smoothies help to decrease the inflammation, especially at the gut where your food is digested and nutrients are absorbed.
2. High in fiber. Smoothies can pack in a lot of fiber from fruits, nuts, and seeds. Your good gut bacteria thrives on a higher fiber diet as healthy bacteria need fiber to survive.
3. Good gut bacteria. I love adding unsweetened kefir or Greek yogurt to my smoothies to get a dose of living healthy bacteria. Just make sure to always use unsweetened yogurt products as too much sugar will actually make bad bacteria grow.
4. Hydrating. Many of us are chronically dehydrated. Not only are smoothies high in water content to hydrate your gut, they also contain many micro nutrients like potassium to help with a better balance in your body.

HOW TO MAKE THE BEST GUT HEALTHY SMOOTHIE!

This gut healing smoothie is so easy to make! You can make it my updated way, as I describe below, or skip to the bottom where I show you how to make my original layered chia seed and smoothie recipe.

Grab your blender and add all the ingredients:

• ½ cup frozen strawberries
• ½ cup frozen mango
• 1 tablespoon hemp seeds
• ½ cup kefir (or Greek yogurt)
• ½ cup coconut water or milk of choice

Blend your smoothie until it is totally creamy and no frozen fruit chunks remain.

If you want a thinner smoothie, add more coconut water.

If you want an even thicker smoothie, add less coconut water!

Scoop your gut healthy strawberry mango smoothie recipe into your favorite glass and enjoy!

VARIATIONS

1. GUT HEALTHY SMOOTHIE LAYERED WITH CHIA PUDDING

Make sure to leave time to gel your chia seeds so you can get the most benefits from them!

In a tall glass, add:

• 2 tablespoons chia seeds
• ½ cup milk of choice
• 1 teaspoon beet root or pink pitaya powder

Whisk your chia pudding well and let it rest for about 15 minutes to allow chia time to soak. You can leave chia pudding in the bottom of the glass. Or, you can blend the gelled chia seeds right into your strawberry mango smoothie.

2. DOUBLE LAYER CHIA SEED GUT HEALTHY SMOOTHIE

If you want to layer your gut healthy smoothie like the photograph above, make sure to follow these instructions to get a three layer smoothie!

1. Fresh Sliced Figs. I sliced figs very thin and pressed them to the side of the glass before adding my chia seed pudding and double layered smoothie.
2. Beet Root Chia Pudding. First, make your chia pudding just like above right in your glass. Add fresh fig slices to the outside of the glass for a beautiful decoration.
3. Mango Strawberry Gut Healing Smoothie. Next, add 1 cup frozen mango and ½ cup frozen strawberries along with a splash of milk to your blender. Blend until creamy and scoop over your chia pudding.
4. Strawberry Smoothie. For the final layer, blend 1 ½ cups frozen strawberries and another splash of milk! Blend until creamy and scoop on top of your mango smoothie.

Either way you make my gut healing smoothie, it is so healthy and so delicious!
