Gut Health Smoothie

This smoothie really does deliver on its promise, packing around 20 grams of fibre into a single serving, that’s about 80% of the recommended daily intake for women and 60% for men. At just over 400 calories, it’s a highly efficient and nutrient-dense way to help you meet your fibre goals, something many of us fall short on. Unlike juicing, blending retains the whole fruit and vegetable, including the skins, seeds and pulp, meaning all the natural fibre stays in your drink. That fibre goes straight to work in your digestive system, helping to keep things moving, feed beneficial bacteria and support a healthy gut barrier. There’s a common myth that blending destroys fibre, but that’s not true. When you blend whole fruits and vegetables, you’re still consuming all the soluble and insoluble fibre, just in a smoother, easier-to-digest form. Soluble fibre from oats, flaxseed and bananas helps feed your gut bacteria and supports steady blood sugar levels, while insoluble fibre from greens, seeds and fruit skins adds bulk and helps maintain regularity. Blending can even improve the bioavailability of certain nutrients, making them easier for your body to absorb while still delivering all the gut-loving benefits of fibre. The combination of berries, leafy greens and flaxseed provides a rich source of plant diversity and polyphenols, which further encourage microbial balance. Oats, cauliflower and avocado add texture and nourishment, while coconut yoghurt brings beneficial live cultures and gentle creaminess. This smoothie truly supports your gut on every level, fibre, prebiotics, polyphenols and probiotics all working together to promote balance, better digestion and everyday vitality. Blended fresh in minutes, it’s proof that great gut health can be both simple and delicious.
