The Glow Get Her Smoothie: A Self-Care Ritual for Your Gut and Hormones

The Glow Get Her Smoothie: A Self-Care Ritual for Your Gut and Hormones

Balancing your hormones and nurturing your gut health are vital components of a well-rounded self-care routine. Last month, in honor of Self Care September, we collaborated with Liquid Lightning and The Gut Cø to create the Glow Get Her Smoothie — a delicious and nourishing blend designed to elevate your wellness from the inside out. This smoothie is packed with ingredients that not only taste amazing but also promote hormone balance and gut health, two essential pillars of self-care.

Why Gut Health and Hormone Balance Matter

Your gut and hormones work together in surprising ways. A happy gut supports better digestion, mood stability, and even clearer skin. Hormones, on the other hand, regulate everything from your energy levels to your menstrual cycle. By nourishing your body with the right nutrients, you can create a foundation for overall well-being, leaving you glowing from within.

Meet the Glow Get Her Smoothie 💖

This smoothie brings together the perfect balance of fibre, healthy fats, and hormone-supporting ingredients. Each ingredient plays a vital role:

  • Collagen and Protein : Promotes gut health and provides the building blocks for hormone production.
  • Coconut Yogurt: Packed with probiotics to boost gut flora and support digestion.
  • Frozen Strawberries: High in vitamin C and low-FODMAP, perfect for reducing inflammation and protecting your gut lining.
  • Unripe Banana: A great source of resistant starch for gut health and hormone regulation.
  • Ground Flaxseeds: Known to balance estrogen levels naturally.
  • Chia Seeds: Fiber and omega-3s help keep your digestion smooth and support hormonal balance.
  • Almond Butter: Rich in magnesium and healthy fats, both of which are key for hormone production.
  • Almond Milk: A low-FODMAP plant-based milk that’s gentle on the gut.
