Recipe: Rainbow Smoothie

'Eating the rainbow' is something my clients here me asking them to do quite frequently! And while it sounds nice, it also does us a lot of good - particularly when we're looking at gut health.

The different pigments in plant foods denote different special chemicals called phytonutrients. Research shows us that phytonutrients can have a positive effect on our gut bacteria, which in turn may help provide us with health benefits. By eating a rainbow of foods each day, we are ensuring we get a variety of phytonutrients and hopefully happy bugs in our gut!

Makes 1 portion

Ingredients:

100g mixed frozen berries – raspberries, blueberries, blackberries

50g spinach

1 satsuma, peeled

1 inch ginger root, peeled and grated

200ml almond milk

1 tbsp ground flaxseed

1 tbsp chia seeds

200ml filtered water (and more, if thinner consistency desired)

Method:

Put all of the ingredients in a high-speed blender and blitz until thick and smooth. 

Pour into two glasses and add extra water until it’s the consistency you desire.
