Berry-Bean Fiber Power Smoothie
When you need serious gut-loving fiber but still crave a fruity pick-me-up, this Berry-Bean Fiber Power Smoothie checks every box. Each glass delivers about 21 grams of fiber along with antioxidants, plant protein, and steady energy—no bloating, no mid-morning crash.
Why these ingredients shine
• Cooked black beans add creaminess, plant protein, and a stealthy 7 g of soluble + insoluble fiber.
• Blueberries and raspberries supply anthocyanins for antioxidant support and 8 g of fiber combined.
• Oat milk keeps the blend dairy-free and contributes beta-glucan, a prebiotic fiber that helps regulate cholesterol.
• Hemp seeds layer in omega-3s, minerals, and a touch more fiber and protein.
• Psyllium husk powder (5 g fiber in just one teaspoon) boosts satiety and feeds beneficial gut bacteria.
• Vitaminis Gut Health juice shot brings probiotics, prebiotics, and digestive-soothing botanicals.
• Vanilla extract rounds out the flavor, while ice keeps everything frosty.

Pro tips & easy swaps
• Prefer it sweeter? Toss in half a pitted Medjool date or a splash of pure maple syrup.
• Need extra protein? Add a scoop of unsweetened plant-based protein powder.
• Out of black beans? White beans or chickpeas work fine—just keep the portion to 1/2 cup cooked.
• Short on time? Pre-portion beans, berries, hemp seeds, and psyllium into freezer bags. In the morning, dump a bag into the blender with liquids and vanilla.
