Berry Mint Yogurt Smoothie
Jim bought me a Nutribullet
The yogurt, ginger, and mint in this smoothie are all full of nutrients that aid your digestive system. Yogurt has probiotics in it, that help your intestines break down food. Plain yogurt is the best kind, because it is low in sugar. Sugar messes up your digestive system by feeding yeast, which competes for territory with the probiotics. Ginger aids digestion by toning the muscles in your intestines. It also relaxes your system and is anti-inflammatory, which can help clear out waste and relieve bloating. Mint works in a similar way as ginger. A word of warning with mint, though: do some research if you have upper digestive problems, because it can also make heartburn worse in some people.
Before we get to the recipe for the Berry Mint Yogurt Smoothie, I want to invite you to join with others who are making healthy changes. I’d love to walk alongside you in your journey towards wholeness and health! Jesus said, “I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full!” Freedom from food addictions is part of having a truly full life.
