Though you can take the challenge anytime, join in now for a fantastic discount<\/strong> and to enter their big giveaway<\/strong>.

Plus, I had the chance to experiment with several new-to-me smoothie combinations. My favorite was this Pineapple Ginger Smoothie.<\/p>\n

\"Pineapple This pineapple ginger smoothie post is sponsored by GoodBelly<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>in honor of their\u00a012-Day Belly Reboot<\/a><\/strong>. But the opinions, delicious recipe, and photos are all my own.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

5 Simple Ingredients for a Healthy Gut<\/h2>\n

Most importantly, this pineapple ginger smoothie tastes amazing. But it also contains a very symbiotic “healthy gut” blend of ingredients, based on the research I’ve read.<\/p>\n

Banana<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The prebiotics in bananas<\/a> can help to “feed” the probiotics in this pineapple ginger smoothie, helping them to proliferate in our digestive system. They also contain pectins and other fibers that allow this somewhat high sugar fruit to still be good for our guts.<\/p>\n

Pineapple<\/strong><\/h3>\n

This tropical fruit contains natural digestive enzymes<\/a> that are extracted to make supplements. To date, research has focused primarily on the supplements. However, many health practitioners have reported improved digestion in patients who regularly incorporate pineapple in their diets.<\/p>\n

GoodBelly StraightShot<\/strong><\/h3>\n

This probiotic oat milk beverage<\/a> really speaks for itself. It’s dairy-free and soy-free for those who simply can’t stomach these top food allergens. Plus, it is very high in probiotics (20 billion in that single shot!), otherwise known as the “good bacteria”.<\/p>\n

\"Pineapple<\/p>\n

Flaxseed<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The type of fiber in flax seeds has been shown to help in the digestive process<\/a> and improve the intestinal absorption of nutrients. In addition, the lignans in flaxseed are linked to a reduction in\u00a0colon cancer risk.<\/p>\n

Ginger<\/strong><\/h3>\n

This rhizome’s anti-queasy effects<\/a> aren’t simply an old-wive’s tale. Research has proven its superpower for fighting unsettling symptoms. I often use powdered ginger for taste preferences. But for maximum potency, you can swap in 1 to 3 teaspoons of fresh crushed or minced ginger. It’s very strong, so start by blending in a little and add more as desired.<\/p>\n

Special Diet Notes: Pineapple Ginger Smoothie<\/h2>\n

By ingredients, this recipe is dairy-free \/ non-dairy, egg-free, nut-free, peanut-free, soy-free, optionally vegan, plant-based, and vegetarian.<\/p>\n

For strictly gluten-free<\/strong>, I recommend swapping in 1\/3 to 1\/2 cup certified gluten-free\u00a0GoodBelly Tropical Orangeade JuiceDrink<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n
