Gut-Loving Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Shake

Who doesn’t love a good smoothie? My Gut-Loving Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Shake uses no added sugar (honestly, it doesn’t need it!) and is a rich source of probiotics, which are good bacteria that offer numerous health benefits.

When it comes to strains of bacteria, more is better because different strains support different functions in your body. For example Lactobacillus acidophilus
supports digestion, absorption, and immune health, while Lactobacillus rhamnosus can help with vaginal and urinary health. Kefir contains a whopping twelve strains of live and active cultures, compared to only three strains in your standard yogurt.

Gut-Loving Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Shake

This shake is a super easy way to sneak some probiotics into your—and your unsuspecting family's—diet. If you like your shakes a bit on the thicker side, simply reduce the amount of nut milk. You can easily make this up ahead of time and store in the refrigerator for a quick breakfast. 5 Earthfoods per serving: ♥♥♥♥♥
