Gut + Hormone Healing GREEN SMOOTHIE
Before we dive into the details, I want to remind you the importance of optimal digestion and gut health.
Your gut health is connected to your WHOLE BODY. - You can basically think of it like the key to unlocking your entire picture of health.
Everything- hormone balance, brain health, skin health, autoimmunity, chronic disease -all comes back to how your digestive system is(or isn't) functioning.
Optimal gut health is ESSENTIAL to healing ANY type of health concern - including healing + balancing your HORMONES!
You can read more about signs of poor gut health and possible root causes here.
If find yourself frequently experiencing digestive symptoms, don't ignore them. This is your body’s way of sending you a red flag saying SOMETHING IS OFF.

Now onto the real reason you opened this article.. the recipe!
Whether you are looking to heal digestive concerns, support your hormones, or simply just optimize your health in general, this smoothie is for YOU.
Here’s why I love it so much:
Spinach and parsley= leafy greens to support not only digestion but also liver health + hormonal detox
Zucchini = extra fiber - (& its AMAZING in smoothies )
Banana = prebiotic support
Flaxseed = supports healthy estrogen levels AND healthy detox function
Chia seeds = healthy fats that support hormone production and regular bowel movements
ginger = anti-inflammatory digestive support
raw honey = extra taste and prebiotic support
coconut water = mineral and electrolytes to support hydration and electrolyte balance
plant based protein powder = because protein is essential at ALL meals for gut, hormone, and even brain health!
