Gut Loving Smoothie Recipe

We love fixing your digestion and you'll love our Gut Loving Smoothie Recipe! Gut health really is the beginning of many of our clients' health journeys - as the old saying goes "health begins in the gut".

The good news is that supporting digestive health is less about restriction and removing food groups and more about including foods to help grow beneficial bacteria, improve transit time, and reduce inflammation.

That's Food as Medicine - something we love at New Leaf!

 


Ready to explore the world of gut health with out Gut Loving Smoothie Recipe? Let's dive into the foundation of your well-being – your gut. It's time to listen and nurture, starting from the inside out. Here's your roadmap to a thriving gut microbiome, crafted in true New Leaf style.

Gut Disorders can look like many different things - Reflux, Constipation, SIBO, Mood disorders, bloating - there are specific treatments for all of these - but working on slowly increasing plant-based food diversity is a great start, like our Gut Loving Smoothie Recipe below. Including these foods will help you poop better!

How Can I Improve My Gut Health?

Embrace Variety:

Your gut loves a diverse diet as much as you love a good playlist.

Go Plant-Based (Mostly)

Think of animal products as a supporting act, not the headliner.

Befriend Fermentation

Yoghurt, kefir, and kombucha are your gut's new pals.

Cool It on the FODMAPs

If your gut's feeling sensitive, ease up on these fermentable carbs. BUT - if you fix your gut you will not need to be on a FODMAP diet forever... know which ones impact your digestion, and slowly slowly slowly reintroduce them. If you have SIBO you may need specific treatments to support your journey.

Find Your Balance

Moderation in fats and proteins keeps your inner ecosystem humming.

What's the Secret Sauce to Gut Health Success?

Remember, your gut is as unique as you are. It's not about perfection; it's about progress. Listen to your body, be gentle with yourself, and celebrate the small wins. Your gut will thank you, and you might just meet your favourite self along the way.
