Strawberry Basil Kombucha Smoothie

People often ask me how they can get probiotics into their diet if they don’t eat yogurt.

Well, I have a special smoothie that delivers great digestive support, without the dairy that can be difficult for many of us to digest.

Here’s more about the nutrition firepower behind this smoothie:

 

Kombucha: beneficial bacteria to support a healthy digestive tract.

Coconut yogurt: some additional probiotics for the digestive system.

Dates: provide fiber for healthy digestion, as well as minerals such as potassium and magnesium.

Strawberries: high in vitamin C and manganese (for healthy bones, skin, and blood sugar levels).

Flax seed: helps regulate blood pressure; also helps reduce risk for breast and prostate cancer.

 

I hope you (and your digestive system) enjoy this berry-licious smoothie!
