Why It’s Good for Digestion
Beets provide fiber, betalains, and polyphenols — plant compounds that have been studied for their relationship with the gut microbiome and gastrointestinal health.
Blueberries deliver antioxidants and fiber that keep your microbiome balanced.
Flaxseed brings gentle, gel-forming fiber that supports regularity and healthy elimination.
A touch of lime juice adds acidity and brightness, balancing the sweetness of the blueberries and banana.
