Recipe: Digestive Support Smoothie

Hi everyone- today I have another smoothie recipe post-since my anti-inflammatory smoothie post was a big hit with you all!

This recipe for a digestive support smoothie can give your gut a helping hand- since the bananas contain plenty of prebiotics and the papaya contains digestive enzymes (which in particular can help with things like bloating and dare I say it, flatulence– think that’s the first time I’ve used that word on this blog but let’s run with it!)

 It also uses turmeric (which I put in everything since it beats inflammation and Hemp Milk- which is a great source of Omega 3( which is easier to digest than cows milk and again packs an anti-inflammation punch.

As I’m trying to boost calories, I also used Nutribix- gluten-free Weetabix- this is optional and I’d suggest it if you are using the smoothie as a meal replacement. Alternatively, try around 4 tablespoons of oats.
