The Mediterranean diet is the key for Lily Moon, a holistic nutrition consultant, in improved digestion. She notes, “The Mediterranean way of eating is naturally rich in fiber, healthy fats, and antioxidants.” You can also include those advantages into your smoothies.
Lily loves these Mediterranean-inspired smoothie recipes:
Greek yogurt and fig smoothie 1. Greek yogurt, fresh figs, a dab of honey, and a dash of almond milk are blended smooth here. “Figs are high in fiber, which helps digestion,” Lily notes.
2. Detox Smoothy Made with Cucumbers and Mint. Combine cucumbers, fresh mint leaves, lemon juice, a few spinach leaves for a cool variation. “Mint helps calm the digestive tract; cucumbers are hydrating,” Lily says.
3. Olive Oil with Avocado Smoothy. Indeed, olive oil added to a smoothie! Lily tosses avocado, a teaspoon of extra virgin olive oil, banana, and unsweetened almond milk. “It’s rich, creamy, and loaded with good fats to support gut health,” she says.
Lily counsels drinking these smoothies gently. She says, “digestion starts in the mouth”. “Chew your smoothies a little to let your saliva work.”
Including Mediterranean-inspired foods in your regimen will help digestion and provide a taste explosion.
