6 Ways you are Sabotaging your Healthy Smoothie — erinlamb

SMOOTHIE TIPS

Your body is FULL of micro organisms, both good and bad. When ‘bad’ bacteria is the majority, you become more susceptible to illness, stress, fatigue, and food sensitivities. Your goal is to maintain a healthy gut flora so that good bacteria dominate for a healthy gut. Kefir and yogurt are full of probiotics which help improve the healthy bacteria ratio in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract’s environment. (Kefir actually contains more probiotics than yogurt!) If you are lactose intolerant there are dairy free versions you can buy such as coconut milk Kefir. However, because kefir is fermented, most people who are lactose intolerant can actually drink it. *watch the sugar content in the yogurt you buy because it is often extremely HIGH unless you are using plain.

You can also add super foods like kale, chia seeds, and flaxseed meal that you may not otherwise eat in the solid form – however don’t get carried away because the calories can add up quick!

Avocados can be a good source of fiber and healthy fat. Fibre is important for proper elimination (we need to get rid of the toxins in our bodies) & healthy fats keep us full, help with nutrient absorption, fight inflammation & support a healthy immune system.

Happy smoothie making!
