Gut-Healing Summer Smoothies That Actually Taste Good

When the weather heats up, most of us crave something cold, light, and refreshing — but if you’re bloated, sluggish, or dealing with skin breakouts, it might be time to make your smoothie work for your gut, not against it.

Summer smoothies can be more than just a sweet treat — they’re the perfect way to sneak in gut-healing ingredients, support digestion, and get in nutrients that keep your energy, skin, and mood steady all day.

Let’s talk about how to build the perfect gut-healing smoothie (and share two of our favorite recipes using our most-loved supplements).

Why Smoothies Are a Gut-Loving Choice

Smoothies are easy to digest — a key bonus when your gut needs a break from heavy or inflammatory foods. They're also a simple way to sneak in fiber, antioxidants, and targeted supplements that reduce bloating, calm inflammation, and feed your microbiome.

Just make sure your smoothie isn’t secretly sabotaging your gut. Common ingredients like high-sugar yogurts, whey protein powders, or added sweeteners (even stevia and erythritol) can contribute to gas, cramping, or skin flares.

Instead, focus on ingredients that actually help your gut heal.

The GutPersonal Formula for a Gut-Healing Smoothie

We recommend keeping it simple, satisfying, and supportive. Each smoothie should include:

• Healthy Fat (like avocado, nut butter, or flax) — helps balance blood sugar + reduce inflammation
• Fiber (like chia seeds or veggies) — nourishes your good gut bugs
• Clean Protein — supports muscle recovery + keeps you full
• Anti-inflammatory Add-ons — like ginger, cinnamon, turmeric, or gut-supportive powders

And of course… supplements that heal, not just hide symptoms.

Why We Love Gut Soother in Smoothies

Gut Soother is our L-glutamine-based powder that supports a healthy gut lining, reduces bloat, and helps with inflammation — all while tasting like a treat. Available in chocolate or vanilla, it blends seamlessly into smoothies and helps reduce symptoms like:

• Brain fog
• Leaky gut
• Skin flares
• Sugar cravings
• Post-meal bloating

Plus, it’s naturally sweetened with monk fruit — no sugar alcohols or weird additives.

When to Drink These Smoothies

Any time you need support — but especially when:

• You’re coming off antibiotics
• You’ve eaten something that didn’t sit well
• You’re on your period
• You’re feeling puffy, tired, or inflamed
• You want to simplify breakfast or post-workout fuel

These smoothies also make a great companion to the Gut Fix Reset or Gut Fix Testing for deeper healing.
