CLEAN BREEZE KOMBUCHA GREEN SMOOTHIE RECIPE
This clean breeze flat-belly green smoothie with kiwi, cucumber, and super ingredient kombucha.
Start your day off right with a punch of gut healthy probiotics from kombucha, a fermented tea, while getting your greens in at the same time!
The cilantro in this recipe contains oils that will help relax your digestive muscles.
The kiwi fruit is high in fiber and if you suffer from Irritable Bowel Syndrome (aka IBS, like I do) studies have shown that eating 2 kiwi per day lessened constipation and symptoms of IBS.
As a bonus, this tasty green smoothie will also give you protein from the yogurt.
Just throw all the ingredients in your blender (we recommend these power blenders) and be ready to start your day feeling fresh and energized!

HEALTH BENEFITS OF KOMBUCHA, KIWI AND CUCUMBERS
Kombucha is a fermented tea originated in Ancient China that delivers a detoxifying effect on the body, due to the enzymes it contains, lightening the load on your pancreas and liver.
It is rich in probiotics, improving digestion, and contains glucosamine, which aids in the prevention and treatment of all arthritis, helps lubricate joints, and helps preserve cartilage structure, with pain relief comparable to NSAIDs.
The Glucaric acid found in Kombucha has been thought to help prevent cancer.
Kiwi fruits are rich in many Vitamins, flavonoids and minerals.
In particular, they contain a high amount of Vitamin C (more than oranges), as much potassium as bananas and a good amount of beta-carotene.
Cucumbers have amazing anti-inflammatory qualities that can reduce swelling, as well as soothe and soften skin tissue.
They are also an excellent source of silica, a trace mineral that strengthens the skin’s connective tissue.
This looks lovely! what would you replace to yogurt with to make it vegan. I don’t do soy.
We LOVE the coconut yogurt that’s now at some Trader Joe’s and at Whole Foods! You can also just omit the yogurt and try full fat coconut milk 🙂 HAPPY BLENDING Cyndee! (p.s. your website is adorable!)
