A quick and easy gut-healing smoothie packed with probiotic kefir, fresh ginger, aloe vera juice, and fiber-rich ingredients to support digestion and overall wellness.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240 ml) plain, unsweetened kefir
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger root, grated
  • ½ cup (120 ml) aloe vera juice (pure, no added sugars)
  • 1 medium ripe banana (frozen works great too)
  • 1 tablespoon ground flaxseeds
  • 1 teaspoon raw honey (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 handful spinach
  • ½ cup (120 ml) water or coconut water (adjust for desired consistency)

Instructions

  1. Peel and grate about 1 teaspoon of fresh ginger. Peel and slice the banana if not using frozen. Measure out kefir, aloe vera juice, spinach, ground flaxseeds, lemon juice, and honey.
  2. Pour 1 cup (240 ml) of kefir and ½ cup (120 ml) aloe vera juice into your blender to help the blades move smoothly and prevent clumping.
  3. Add the grated ginger, banana slices, spinach, and 1 tablespoon ground flaxseeds to the blender.
  4. Squeeze in 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice and drizzle 1 teaspoon of raw honey if desired.
  5. Pour in ½ cup (120 ml) of water or coconut water. Add more if you prefer a thinner smoothie.
  6. Blend on high for about 60 seconds, or until the mixture is silky and lump-free with a vibrant green color.
  7. Taste and tweak by adding extra lemon juice or ginger for more zing, or more honey for sweetness. Blend for an additional 10 seconds if adding anything.
  8. Pour into your favorite glass and serve immediately to maximize probiotic and nutrient benefits.

Notes

Use fresh ginger for best gut benefits. Blend liquids and greens first to avoid clumps. Drink immediately for maximum probiotic benefits. Can substitute dairy kefir with coconut or water kefir for dairy-free option. Adjust water or coconut water for desired consistency. Store refrigerated up to 24 hours and stir before drinking. Avoid freezing to preserve probiotics.
