Smoothie Recipe: Green Gut Glow Smoothie

What’s Inside & Why It’s Good for You

1. 1 cup unsweetened kefir
Kefir is a probiotic-rich fermented milk drink that contains billions of gut-friendly bacteria and beneficial yeasts. It supports digestion, enhances nutrient absorption, and boosts immune function.

2. 1 cup frozen spinach
Spinach is loaded with vitamins A, C, and K, plus minerals like iron and magnesium. It’s also high in antioxidants that help reduce inflammation and protect against cell damage.

3. ½ green banana
Green bananas are rich in resistant starch, a prebiotic fiber that feeds healthy gut bacteria and supports blood sugar balance. They also help keep you feeling fuller for longer.

4. 1 tbsp chia seeds
Chia seeds are tiny nutrient powerhouses packed with omega-3 fatty acids, fiber, and protein. They promote satiety, regulate digestion, and help keep skin hydrated and supple.

5. 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
Protein helps build and repair muscle, supports metabolic health, and keeps you satisfied. Vanilla protein also adds a naturally sweet flavor to balance the earthy greens.

How to Make It

1. Add kefir, spinach, green banana, chia seeds, and protein powder to a blender.

2. Pour in ½–1 cup of water or unsweetened almond milk for your desired thickness.

3. Blend until smooth, pour into a glass, and enjoy immediately.
