Gut Friendly Green Smoothie

It’s that time of year which should be glorious however all kinds of indulgent meals, extra stress and more sugar than we are used to can really play havoc on out gut our skin our sleep and our levels of inflammation.

Today I want to share with you a very easy gut friendly recipe which will use a food as medicine approach to revitalise your gut health and improve detoxification.

Yoghurt offers beneficial bacteria to rebalance, polyphenols in the berries and pectin and inulin in the fruits help to promote your biodiversity. The broccoli and spinach support phase 1 and phase 2 liver detoxification. The spinach and chia provide fibre and help with efficient waste elimination. Avocado for fibre, healthy fat and skin health. The lemon pulp supports flavour as well as additional pectin for a healthy gut barrier and improve immunity.
