Green Fiber Gut-Healing Smoothie
Need an easy way to pack greens, healthy fats, and serious prebiotic fiber into one glass? This Green Fiber Gut-Healing Smoothie does it in under five minutes. Creamy avocado, mineral-rich coconut water, and a splash of lime keep the flavor light while chickpeas, flax, and a Vitaminis Gut Health shot do the heavy lifting for digestion.
Why each ingredient matters
• Cooked chickpeas – 6 g fiber plus plant protein and resistant starch to feed good gut bacteria
• Fresh spinach – gentle greens loaded with folate, magnesium, and another 4 g fiber
• Avocado – 5 g fiber, heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, and creamy texture without dairy
• Coconut water – natural electrolytes for hydration and a touch of sweetness
• Ground flaxseeds – lignans, omega-3s, and 2 g extra fiber per tablespoon
• Spirulina – antioxidant-rich algae supplying chlorophyll, iron, and plant protein
• Vitaminis Gut Health shot – prebiotics, probiotics, and soothing botanicals for digestive balance
• Fresh lime juice – brightens flavor and adds vitamin C
• Ice – optional, but great if you like it frosty

Quick tips & swaps
• Short on spinach? Sub kale, romaine, or a handful of fresh herbs (mint is great).
• Need extra sweetness? Add 1–2 chunks of frozen pineapple or half a frozen banana.
• Out of flax? Chia seeds work; just let the smoothie sit a minute to thicken.
• Meal prep: Portion avocado halves, spinach, chickpeas, flax, and spirulina in freezer bags. In the morning, dump a bag into the blender with liquids and lime.
