Studies focusing on diet and the gut microbiome have been emerging for several years now. However, new research continues to surface daily. What we currently know: various types of dietary fiber are the foundation of a healthy gut and fermented foods help to introduce new bacteria to the gut, creating balance and symbiotic relationships. Creamy Kale Pineapple Smoothie incorporates various types of fiber, including prebiotic fiber from the banana, as well as fiber from chia seeds, pineapple, and kale. Plant-based yogurt is also used as the creamy base for this smoothie. To get the full nutritional benefit, make sure to select yogurt that contains live cultures. Finally, a word about fat—the type of fat matters when it comes to gut health. Omega 3 fatty acids have been shown to promote more gut bacteria diversity compared to saturated fat, which is associated with less diversity. Chia seeds add those essential omega 3’s. One last note — this smoothie is super tasty!
