But for now, let’s dive into the ingredients of the Ultimate Gut Healing Smoothie and discover their benefits.

Health Benefits of the Ingredients

1. Full-Fat Coconut Milk or Almond Milk: These dairy-free milk alternatives provide healthy fats and are easier to digest than traditional dairy. They also offer a creamy base for your smoothie while being gentle on your gut, making them a great choice for those with lactose intolerance.

2. Leafy Greens (Kale/Spinach): Leafy greens are a rich source of fiber, vitamins (A, C, K), and minerals (calcium and magnesium). They promote a diverse gut microbiome and support digestive health by aiding in regular bowel movements.

3. Avocado: Avocado is a nutrient-dense fruit that provides healthy fats and fiber. It contributes to a creamy texture in the smoothie and supports a balanced gut microbiome.

4. Banana: Bananas are an excellent source of prebiotic fiber, which feeds the beneficial bacteria in your gut. They also provide potassium and other essential nutrients for overall health.

5. Freshly Grated Ginger: Ginger has anti-inflammatory and digestive properties. It can soothe an upset stomach, alleviate nausea, and promote healthy digestion by reducing inflammation in the gut.

6. Chia Seeds: Chia seeds are rich in fiber, which helps regulate bowel movements and supports a healthy gut. They also contain omega-3 fatty acids that have anti-inflammatory properties.

7. Hemp Hearts: Hemp hearts are a great source of plant-based protein and omega-3 fatty acids. They promote gut health by reducing inflammation and supporting the growth of beneficial gut bacteria.

8. Raw Honey: Raw honey is a natural sweetener that may have prebiotic properties. It can help feed beneficial gut bacteria and promote a diverse microbiome.

9. Magnesium Powder: Magnesium is essential for muscle function, including the muscles in your digestive tract. It can help prevent constipation and support overall gut health. I have been using Natural Vitality plain magnesium powder for decades.

10. Collagen: Collagen is a protein that can help repair the lining of your gut. Youththeory is one of my favorite collagen powders, because it has Vitamin C as well.
