What is a healthy smoothie for your microbiome?

I start with fermented dairy or a live-culture alternative for probiotics, add prebiotic fiber from oats or inulin, and include polyphenol-rich berries. I keep sugar modest, aim for at least 15 grams of protein, and blend briefly so the texture stays silky. This Psychobiotic Smoothie Recipe follows that exact pattern.

Which smoothie is best for detoxing?

I focus on liver-friendly and fiber-rich ingredients rather than harsh cleanses. I blend berries, leafy greens, lemon, and flax or chia. Fiber binds waste, polyphenols support balance, and hydration keeps things moving. This Psychobiotic Smoothie Recipe fits that gentle, daily “detox-friendly” approach.

How to lower cortisol in a smoothie?

I include steadying protein, magnesium-rich greens or cacao, omega-3 seeds, and calming flavors like cinnamon and vanilla. I keep caffeine minimal or I use matcha sparingly. I drink the Psychobiotic Smoothie Recipe alongside a slow, mindful morning to help set the tone.

How do you make a polyphenol smoothie?

I mix dark berries, cacao, and sometimes green tea. I add a squeeze of lemon to protect color and taste. I keep the blend cold and quick. This Psychobiotic Smoothie Recipe delivers polyphenols from berries and cacao while fiber and protein keep energy steady.

Ingredients

Scale

3/4 cup kefir or live-culture yogurt

1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (adjust to taste)

3/4 cup frozen mixed berries (blueberry, blackberry, raspberry)

1/2 medium banana (or 1/3 cup frozen green banana)

2 tablespoons rolled oats or 1 teaspoon inulin

1 tablespoon cacao powder

1 tablespoon ground flax or chia

1 scoop collagen or clean protein powder (optional)

Small handful spinach or kale (optional)

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, pinch of fine salt, splash of vanilla

1/2–1 cup ice (to desired thickness)

Optional: lemon wedge to brighten; honey or 1 date if needed

Instructions

Add liquids and soft ingredients to the blender jar.

Sprinkle oats or inulin so they hydrate early.

Add berries, banana, kefir or yogurt, and optional greens.

Add cacao, seeds, cinnamon, salt, and vanilla.

Top with ice, then pulse several times to draw ingredients down.

Blend on low to medium until glossy and smooth, 30–60 seconds.

Taste; adjust thickness with almond milk or ice, and sweetness if needed.

Pour immediately; rinse the jar right away for an easy clean.

Notes

Low-sugar swap: use half banana plus 1/3 cup frozen cauliflower rice.

Dairy-free: use coconut yogurt with live cultures or plant kefir.

Higher protein: add collagen or a clean protein scoop.

Make-ahead: freeze fruit + dry add-ins in labeled kits; add liquids to blend.

For a bowl: cut liquid slightly, add extra ice, and top with seeds + berries.
