BLACKBERRY BEE GUT SUPPORTIVE SMOOTHIE
Let me show you how to feed your gut and enjoy a delicious daily smoothie that tastes just like a blackberry pie with a nutritional punch! To make this gut supportive, I’ve added fibre and antioxidant rich blackberries, mineral rich bee pollen, well sourced collagen and probiotic coconut yoghurt.
It's no surprise that collagen is having a moment right now - well sourced collagen peptides can support the integrity of the gut lining due to containing large amounts of amino acids, glycine, glutamine. The Vitamin C coming from the blackberries compliments the collagen to help with its absorption. My favourite collagen is by Ossa Organics - if you want to try it for a cheaper price scroll to the bottom of the page to shop where I source all my discounted gut health supplies.
Smoothies done right can enhance a healthy diet but if they are not well rounded they can send you on a bit of a blood sugar rollercoaster. To avoid that, this recipe has been created with balance in mind and it includes protein, fats, fibre and cinnamon. You may prefer a different ratio - see what works best for you!
