If you’ve been following me for a while, you know I’m not about overly complicated recipes.
When your gut is struggling or your nervous system is dysregulated, the goal isn’t to do more—it’s to come back to simple, nourishing foods that your body can actually handle.
This smoothie bowl has been one of my go-tos lately. It’s quick, grounding, and made with ingredients that truly support gut healing, blood sugar balance, and brain health.
I learned the base of this from a friend, and of course, added my own functional nutrition spin to make it more supportive—especially if you’re dealing with bloating, low energy, or mood swings.
🫐 Why This Smoothie Bowl Supports Gut Health + Hormones
Most smoothies are missing key pieces that actually keep you full and support your blood sugar. This one is built a little differently.
It tastes like ice cream (especially with frozen bananas), but it’s made in ay that actually supports your gut and keeps your energy steady.
It includes:
Fibre to support digestion and feed beneficial gut bacteria
Healthy fats + protein to stabilize blood sugar
Antioxidants to reduce inflammation and support brain function
This is the kind of breakfast (or lunch) I recommend to clients who are working on:
Gut health and dysbiosis
Hormone imbalances
Nervous system regulation
Energy crashes and cravings
Ingredients
Smoothie Base:
1 frozen banana
½ cup frozen wild blueberries
½ cup frozen mango
1 tbsp chia seeds
1 scoop hemp protein
¾ cup oat milk (adjust depending on thickness)
Optional Add-Ins (highly recommended for gut + hormone support):
1 tbsp ground flax seeds
½ tsp cinnamon
1 tsp maple syrup or raw honey (if needed)
🥥 Toppings (Optional, but worth it!)
Shredded coconut
Fresh blueberries
Sliced banana
Granola
Almond butter drizzle
Hemp hearts
How to Make It
Add everything to a blender and blend until thick and creamy.
You’re aiming for that smoothie bowl texture—something you can eat with a spoon, not drink.
Pour into a bowl, add your toppings, and enjoy.
🌿 Functional Nutrition Breakdown
This is where this bowl really shines:
Wild blueberries support brain health, memory, and cognitive function
Chia + flax seeds provide fiber and omega-3s to help repair the gut lining and support hormone balance
Hemp protein is easy to digest and ideal if your gut is sensitive
Balanced macros help regulate blood sugar, which is important for both mood and nervous system stability
Recipes like this are simple, but they support gut health, blood sugar, and overall energy.
