Gut-Soothing Berry Smoothie (Printable Version)

Creamy berry smoothie packed with probiotics, antioxidants, and soothing ginger for a tasty, gut-friendly boost.

# What You'll Need:

01 - 125 ml fresh or frozen blueberries

02 - 125 ml fresh or frozen strawberries

03 - 1 small banana, peeled

04 - 125 ml plain Greek yogurt or dairy-free probiotic yogurt

05 - 125–180 ml unsweetened almond milk or preferred milk

06 - 1 tablespoon chia seeds or ground flaxseeds

07 - 0.5 teaspoon freshly grated ginger (optional)

08 - Ice cubes, as needed for texture

01 - Rinse blueberries and strawberries thoroughly. Hull strawberries. Peel banana if using fresh. Grate ginger if incorporating.

02 - Transfer all measured fruits, yogurt, chia or flaxseeds, ginger if used, and 125 ml almond milk into a blender.

03 - Blend mixture at high speed until smooth and creamy. Pause to scrape down the sides if necessary.

04 - Increase almond milk incrementally to achieve desired thickness, or blend in ice cubes for a colder, thicker texture.

05 - Pour the smoothie into a chilled glass. Garnish with additional berries if desired and consume straight away for best quality.

01 - Frozen berries yield a thicker and colder smoothie; add mint for freshness or a touch of honey if sweeter flavor is preferred.

02 - For vegan preparation, substitute Greek yogurt with plant-based yogurt and use dairy-free milk.

03 - The smoothie is best consumed fresh but can be refrigerated in a sealed jar for up to 24 hours.

04 - If chia or flaxseeds are unavailable, oats may be used for added fiber.
