Introduction:
For over a decade, I struggled with intense digestive issues—everything from unpredictable IBS flare-ups to nightly battles with acid reflux. I tried every diet trend, prescription, and over-the-counter solution under the sun. Some worked for a little while, but nothing offered long-term relief.
That is, until I discovered a simple, soothing, gut-friendly recipe that changed everything. I didn’t expect such a small shift in my daily routine to have such a powerful impact—but after just a few weeks, my symptoms started to ease. Within a few months, they were almost completely gone.
This isn’t a miracle cure or a magic potion—it’s just real, nourishing food designed to support digestion, calm inflammation, and give your gut the gentle support it’s been begging for.
Ingredients:
(One serving)
1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or other non-dairy milk)
1 tbsp chia seeds
1 tbsp ground flaxseed
½ tsp fresh grated ginger
1 tbsp organic aloe vera juice (optional, but great for soothing the gut)
1 banana (ripe, for natural sweetness)
½ cup steamed and cooled zucchini (you won’t taste it—it just adds creaminess and fiber)
½ tsp cinnamon
1 scoop plain collagen peptides (optional, but great for gut lining support)
Small pinch of sea salt
½ tsp slippery elm powder (optional, but deeply soothing for both IBS and reflux)
Directions:
Add all ingredients to a high-speed blender.
Blend until smooth and creamy. If it's too thick, add a little more almond milk.
Let it sit for 5-10 minutes to allow the chia and flax to thicken slightly—this also gives your digestive system a head start with pre-hydrated fiber.
Pour into a glass or bowl and enjoy slowly. The slower you eat, the better your digestion!
Serving and Storage Tips:
This is best enjoyed fresh, especially if you're including aloe vera or slippery elm, which are most effective shortly after blending.
If you need to prep ahead, store it in a glass jar in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
Shake or stir before drinking if it separates.
