Pomegranate Green Smoothie

1 serving Prep time: 5 min

Pomegranates get a little more glory this time of year and I fully support it. They are a powerhouse of polyphenols and something I use intentionally to support the good gut bacteria

Akkermansia muciniphila,

which encourages healing and integrity of the gut lining.

 

This creamy blend of frozen zucchini, spinach, ginger, and cinnamon is elevated with a swirl of tangy pomegranate juice. A little goes a long way, so just one tablespoon provides plenty of beneficial phytonutrients and sweetness.

This is a great smoothie to add into your rotation for improved gut health and longevity with some classic fall flavors. 

Wishing you health and happiness,
