A Power Smoothie to Help Restore Gut Health

Need a POWER BOOST?

Are you crashing and burning during the day?  You know, the point where you need a double shot of espresso, a sugar boost, or a run around the block to wake yourself up?

I get it...

When you roll out of bed and your feet hit the ground running, it's non-stop until the kids go to bed. You should be tired by 9pm, look at everything you accomplished! 

Most often there's a point during the morning or afternoon where you need a pick-me-up.  Whether you're faced with chronic fatigue or just sleepy from a toddler's rude awakening at 3am, consuming extra caffeine or sugar may not be the best option for long term wellness. 

Keeping your gut healthy and happy is one of the big secrets to good digestion, glowing skin and increased energy (DING-DING-DING!) 

I'm all for easy when it comes to reestablishing a healthy gut because the process can be frustrating and time consuming. Having a smoothie loaded with beneficial good bacteria is a daily addition to your diet that will get you awesome results over time. It's rare I go a day without a gut health power smoothie. It provides long lasting energy and a good mood boost without the digestive discomfort.  All the things I teach in my new virtual Restore Your Gut Health coaching program.
