Today, we’re going to introduce a refreshing Gut-Boosting Matcha Apple Smoothie.
This smoothie is packed with nutrients that support your gut health, metabolism, and overall wellness. Let’s dive into the ingredients and how they benefit you.
You’ve likely heard the saying, “An apple a day keeps the doctor away.” Apples are packed with nutrients and are known for providing various health benefits, such as promoting heart health and potentially lowering the risk of certain cancers. They’re a simple yet effective way to support overall wellness.
Apples are also a great source of fiber, especially pectin, which feeds the good bacteria in your gut.
Kiwis are incredibly nutrient-dense, offering a rich variety of vitamins, minerals, and fiber. They are particularly abundant in vitamin C, a key nutrient that plays an essential role in maintaining a healthy immune system and digestion.
Matcha is loaded with catechins, which are powerful antioxidants that support metabolism and reduce inflammation.
Daikon radish adds a nice mild flavor and is high in enzymes that aid digestion. In Japan, we eat daikon radish with fish to support digestion.
R’s KOSO, a fermented drink made of more than 100 whole foods ingredients in Japan, is packed with probiotics, postbiotics, and prebiotics that are great for balancing your gut microbiome.
This smoothie is very simple to make.
Just add all the ingredients into the blender and blend until smooth.
