Let’s get green. 

This gut-healing smoothie recipe is not only delicious, but also packed with so many powerful ingredients that will keep your digestive system happy.

We specifically made this smoothie to be a “stomach soother”, just in case a good ol’ day of indulgence may have occurred. As they do every so often!

This is a great recovery smoothie for purification. The ingredients are gentle on the belly, and will aid your gut into a state of refreshment.

We have also provided two versions of this recipe (below) to fit those in all Levels of the Betr Health Food Protocol. 

First, we’re going to show you what a few of these magical elements will do for your body. Not only will your gut be happy, but your being as a whole will thank you.

1. Avocados

Heart healthy fats

Fats that make up an avocado are fueling for your body. These monounsaturated fats actually give your body energy (of course, when eaten in moderation!). 

Plenty of fiber for your system (let’s keep things moving!)

One half of an avocado contains about 6-7 grams of fiber. Keeping foods that are high in fiber in your diet, will allow your digestive system to stay regulated. Pro tip: be sure to pair foods high in fiber with water, in order to keep the fiber moving. 

Keep your eyes sharp

Avocados are filled with antioxidants that can actually keep your eyes protected. They include the carotenoids (carotenoids = plant pigments that act as antioxidants for humans) lutein and zeaxanthin, which are extremely vital for eye health. 

2. Spinach

Plenty of vitamins and minerals

• • Vitamin C (Powerful for your immune system!)
  • Vitamin A (Helps the heart, lungs, and kidneys to work properly)
  • Vitamin K1 (Helps to prevent blood clotting)
  • Calcium (Bone health at its finest)
  • Folic acid (Key mineral for pregnancy + cell growth)
  • Iron (Helps to bring oxygen to the blood tissue)

Moderate your blood pressure levels

High amounts of nitrates are found in spinach, which have been shown to decrease risk of heart disease and keep blood pressure levels at bay. 

3. Peppermint

Soothe your digestion

Peppermint is a super star when it comes to relieving stress in the stomach. Peppermint will ease the body, and clam the digestive system. Try some peppermint tea next time your stomach feels a little uneasy. 

Relax your body

Peppermint actually doubles as a muscle relaxant and pain reliever. This beautiful herb may actually help to diminish head (and body) aches.

Clear your body

Because of it’s potent taste, peppermint has a tendency to help clear your sinuses. This will allow you to smell and breathe better – which will also lead to more relaxation in the body and mind. 

And now, the recipe! We recommend this recipe for those in Level 3, or finishing up Level 2. Dr. Ferro recommends limiting alcohol (even in small amounts) for clients with IBS/digestive related issues during Level 1 and in limited use in Level 2.

We have also provided a modified version for those of you in Level 1 and early stage of Level 2. 

Stay green.
