A quick and easy smoothie packed with prebiotics and probiotics to support digestion and gut health. Made with simple, wholesome ingredients, it’s perfect for any time of day.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup plain probiotic-rich Greek yogurt
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
  • 1 medium ripe banana, frozen
  • 2 tablespoons raw chicory root powder or inulin powder
  • 1 tablespoon ground flaxseeds
  • 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
  • 1/2 cup frozen pineapple chunks
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon raw honey or maple syrup (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare your ingredients: peel and freeze the banana in advance, rinse and dry fresh ingredients, and grate the ginger finely.
  2. Add 1 cup Greek yogurt and 1 cup almond milk to a blender.
  3. Add the frozen banana and pineapple chunks to the blender.
  4. Add 2 tablespoons raw chicory root powder and 1 tablespoon ground flaxseeds.
  5. Add 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice and 1 teaspoon grated ginger. Add 1 teaspoon raw honey or maple syrup if desired.
  6. Blend on low speed, gradually increasing to high, until smooth and no chunks remain (about 1-2 minutes).
  7. Taste and adjust thickness or flavor by adding more almond milk, ginger, or lemon juice as needed.
  8. Serve immediately in a glass or reusable bottle.

Notes

If you don’t have chicory root powder, substitute with inulin, Jerusalem artichoke powder, or dandelion root powder. For a vegan version, use coconut yogurt with live cultures and maple syrup instead of honey. Blend frozen fruits first to avoid clumping. Store smoothie in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours and stir before drinking.
