Blueberry Blast Smoothie
This smoothie is packed with gut-healthy probiotics from kefir and antioxidants from blueberries, making it a powerful tool to support urinary tract health and boost the microbiome. Kefir provides a variety of good bacteria, while blueberries and their juice contain compounds that can help prevent bacterial growth by depriving bacteria like E. coli of the iron they need to thrive.
Yield: 1 serving
½ small banana, frozen into chunks
¾ cup kefir
½ cup coconut milk
½ tsp vanilla
1 cup frozen blueberries
1-2 tsp honey
Place all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. Pour into a glass and enjoy immediately.
Optional: Add a prebiotic powder like Prebio Plus to enhance good bacteria growth. Start with small amounts to avoid discomfort as the gut adjusts.
