1 small banana
1 tablespoon chia seeds
½ cup Greek yoghurt (or plant-based alternative)
1 cup coconut water
Why it's Great:
Loaded with antioxidants, berries are a powerful ally for your gut health.

½ cucumber
1 kiwi, peeled
1 small apple, cored
Juice of ½ lemon
1 teaspoon grated ginger
½ cup coconut water
Why it's Great:
Leafy greens like spinach offer a dose of fibre that aids digestion, while cucumber and kiwi contribute to hydration and support gut health. Apples contain pectin, a type of soluble fibre that helps maintain a healthy gut lining. Lemon juice and ginger provide a zesty kick, aiding digestion and boosting your metabolism. This green goddess elixir is your ticket to a happy gut and a radiant glow.

Why it's Great:
Tropical fruits like pineapple and mango are rich in enzymes that support digestion. The banana adds creaminess while flaxseeds offer a boost of omega-3 fatty acids and fibre.
