Gut Support Smoothie

Gut support smoothie

Why this is peri-perfect… This smoothie is a gut-nourishing powerhouse. Probiotics from kefir help restore balance in your microbiome, while prebiotic fibers from flax, chia, spinach, and cherries feed those good bacteria so they can thrive. The combination of soluble fiber and plant diversity keeps digestion moving smoothly, reduces bloating, and supports a strong gut lining. With 30g of protein, it also keeps blood sugar steady and supports muscle — two essentials for managing perimenopause changes. Anti-inflammatory cherries, ginger, and cinnamon calm irritation in the gut, while spinach delivers magnesium and iron to fight fatigue and support healthy energy. Every sip works to strengthen the gut-hormone connection, leaving you feeling steady, nourished, and light.
