Happy digestion smoothie

This gut health smoothie is the perfect way to start your morning. It combines many digestion-friendly and immune-boosting foods which makes it super healthy.

Pineapple has digestive and anti-inflammatory benefits and immune support. One cup gives you 105% of your daily Vitamin C requirements. I use frozen pineapple chunks in smoothies to save time.

Fresh ginger soothes the intestinal tract and helps with digestion. Awesome for all kinds of gastrointestinal relief, such as morning sickness. Anti-inflammatory and immune boosting.

Fresh parsley is rich in vitamins K, C, and A, folate, and antioxidants. It’s a natural diuretic that helps release water retention. . Cilantro would be a nice swap here too!

Avocado has major anti-inflammatory benefits + heart-healthy fats, high in fiber which aids with digestion.

Banana is rich in B6, manganese, Vitamin C, fiber, and potassium. Interesting to note – while bananas are high in sugar, they have a low glycemic index score which means that they won’t spike blood sugar levels. It’s soothing to the digestive tract and thought to regulate the bowels and enhance friendly gut bacteria.

Lemon is rich in vitamin C. It aids digestion and helps flush out toxins.

Hemp seeds are packed with proteins. They are also a great source of essential fatty acids. In addition, they contain an impressive array of vitamins and minerals.
