How Smoothies Can Help the Digestive System
Smoothies are generally easier to digest than if you sat down to eat a bowl of fruits and vegetables. The blending process helps to break down some of the digestive fibers which can help the digestive tract.
Additionally, it’s easy to include lots of healthy smoothie ingredients that have health benefits for the immune system and digestive health.
Try to focus on gut-healthy ingredients that benefit good gut health and healthy digestion such as: Greek yogurt (contains beneficial bacteria and a creamy texture), healthy fats like avocado or chia seeds, coconut milk, coconut water, non-dairy yogurt with good bacteria if you are on a dairy-free diet, and more.
Some people may find they have less abdominal pain and fewer digestive issues once they start drinking a breakfast smoothie with lots of prebiotic foods and probiotics.
Use the recipes above as inspiration and a great way to get started!
