Today I am going to present you with a list of smoothies to help you poop. Smoothies make you pee more, but they can also help you poop more too.
Are you constipated? Do you feel a little bit clocked up in there? Have you just returned from a vacation and you want to clean up your system?
Whatever the reason, I got you covered!
Before we get to the smoothie recipes that will help you poop, let’s first clear some stuff up!
Can Smoothies Help You Poop?
Do smoothies help with constipation? Yes! Smoothies can definitely help you poop.
Because most smoothies (especially homemade smoothies) are high in fiber, thanks to the use of fruit and vegetables. These ingredients are great for your digestive system.
Smoothies are an excellent way of getting the fiber and vitamins your body needs in an easy and healthy way.
So, if you have constipation, drink a high-fiber fruit smoothie, and you should feel a relief.
What’s The Best Fruit For Constipation?
Citrus fruits as well as dried fruit such as figs, prunes, and dates are the best to get things moving in your colon.
However, a rule of thumb is everything that’s high in fiber is good for constipation. However, do not underestimate the power of water.
An increased consumption of fiber will need to be balanced with an increased consumption of water, otherwise, you won’t be able to get the effects you need from the fiber. This is according to Well And Good.
So, fiber and water are great ways to relieve constipation.
Here’s a more extensive list of the best fruit to help with constipation:
- Dried Fruit.
- Berries (especially raspberries).
- Apples.
- Kiwi.
- Citrus Fruit.
- Pears.
- Plums.
- Cherries
- Peaches
And the list goes on, but these are the top fruits.

Okay, I am not quite done with the pears yet.
But how could I? Just like dates, they create bulk in your stools, making it easier for you to pass them.
