The health of our gut doesn’t seem to be taken seriously – when it really, really should.
Gut health and the immune system literally go hand-in-hand.
Poor gut health is also linked to depression and anxiety. (Source) It’s so important we take care of our gut health.
So what makes this smoothie gut healthy?
Collagen! We are obsessed with that stuff. My partner struggles with IBS and skin problems, but when she took collagen for a month – her skin cleared and her flare-ups improved.
At first, we started taking it in our coffee, but then we decided to throw it in our morning smoothie. The collagen we buy is unflavoured and doesn’t change the taste at all, which makes it perfect.
The collagen is also really high on protein – 18g per serving!!
This gut-healthy smoothie itself contains a whopping 28g of protein!
We cannot recommend it enough, get yourself some collagen and improve your digestion, skin, and hair!
How To Make Gut Healthy Smoothie:
You will need:
1. Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides Powder
2. Frozen Blueberries
3. Chia Seeds
4. Semi-Skimmed Milk
5. Medjool Dates (Optional, for extra sweetness and digestive health)
The method is simple – pit the dates if using, then all the ingredients go in a high-speed blender and are blitzed until smooth. Serve and enjoy! Yum!
