Smoothie Greens, 50 servings

To support your gut health, focus on a balanced diet rich in fiber from fruits and vegetables, fermented foods (like sauerkraut), and staying hydrated.

Avoiding processed foods and excessive sugar, along with regular exercise and managing stress, can also contribute to a healthy gut.

The microbiome refers to the vast community of microorganisms, including bacteria (mostly), fungi, and viruses, that live in our gut.

This complex ecosystem plays a vital role in digestion, supporting the immune system, and contributing to overall health and well-being.

To support a healthy gut microbiome, focus on a diet high in diverse, plant-based foods and fiber, consume fermented foods, and maintain a healthy lifestyle with regular exercise and stress management.

Dietary fiber is a type of carbohydrate found in plant-based foods that our bodies can't digest. However, it serves as the primary fuel source for our beneficial gut bacteria.

By nourishing our gut microbiome, fiber plays an essential role in supporting digestive and overall health, maintaining bowel regularity, and promoting a feeling of fullness, which can support healthy weight management.

Adaptogens are natural substances, often derived from plants (such as Ashwagandha, Rhodiola, Schisandra, etc.), that help the body adapt to stress and promote balance.

They can support the body’s resilience to physical and mental stressors.

Adaptogens support the body’s natural stress response systems. They can help support healthy energy levels, promote mental clarity, and contribute to overall well-being by promoting homeostasis.

To make a healthy smoothie, combine a base (such as water) with:

• fruits (especially berries)
• vegetables (like spinach or kale)
• a source of protein (like protein powder and collagen peptides)
• a scoop of the ADVANCED NATURE's Smoothie Greens, to support gut microbiome diversity and health
• a bit of dark cocoa powder, chicory root, and cinnamon.

Blend until smooth and enjoy!
