3. Gut-friendly smoothie: kefir, banana and frozen berry smoothie
This fruity kefir smoothie is full of beneficial probiotics, making it a great on-the-go, gut-friendly breakfast option. Kefir is a milk drink which has been fermented by lactic acid bacteria and yeasts to provide a natural source of probiotics. Don’t worry if your diet is dairy–free – you can use coconut or water-based kefir instead.
4. Gut-friendly breakfast: vegan overnight oats
These vegan overnight oats are a gut-healing marvel. Not only are oats a great source of prebiotic fibre, but apples contain a compound called pectin, which increase levels of a short-chain fatty acid called butyrate. This feeds the beneficial gut bacteria and reduces the population of harmful strains. If that wasn’t enough, it’s topped with a generous dollop of probiotic-rich coconut yogurt, too.
