Gut-Health Smoothie with Colostrum
A creamy, high-fiber berry banana smoothie with golden flax seeds, blended in 5 minutes. Naturally sweet, vegan, and dairy-free.
Equipment
- Blender
- Glass
Ingredients
- 1 banana ripe, frozen for a thicker smoothie
- 1 cup mixed berries raspberries, blueberries, strawberries
- 1 tbsp golden flax seeds ground, for prebiotic fibre
- ¼ cup plain kefir or yogurt for probiotics; dairy or plant-based
- 1 tbsp colostrum powder bovine, for gut & immune support (not vegan)
- 1 cup milk dairy or plant, plus more to loosen
- 1 tsp honey or maple syrup optional
- 1 tbsp chia seeds optional, for extra fibre
Instructions
- Add the banana, berries, flax, kefir or yogurt, milk, and sweetener to a blender.
- Blend until smooth and thick, adding more milk to reach the consistency you like.
- Add the colostrum powder last and blend briefly, just to combine, keeping everything cold since its bioactives are heat-sensitive.
- Pour and drink fresh. Stir in the chia if using, and let it sit 5 minutes to thicken.
Notes
Use ground flax for the smoothest blend and best digestion. Frozen fruit keeps it thick and cold. Use maple syrup to keep it vegan.
