Cucumbers: They are loaded
with water, which helps fight bloating.
Banana: Bananas are high in
potassium. Potassium helps regulate sodium levels, which prevents water
retention. Too much sodium is a big cause of bloating, so that’s why
bananas (and other foods high in potassium) help with bloating.
Ginger: Ginger is a natural
anti-inflammatory food as well as a digestive aid. It soothes the
digestive system and relaxes the muscles of the digestive tract, which keeps
you from getting bloated. You know I love my ginger. Take a look at
that huge hunk of fresh ginger in the picture below. I eat one of those
per week.
Apple Cider Vinegar: I list this one as
optional in the smoothie recipe because the smoothie absolutely tastes better
without it. Apple cider vinegar, however, is a rock star for reducing gas
and bloating. So if you are super serious about reducing your bloat, add
this to your smoothie.
The taste of this anti-bloating smoothie is fresh.
I love the cucumber and ginger together, and the banana sweetens it up
just enough. The coconut water flavor is subtle, not overpowering.
I really don’t love coconut water on its own, but do love it in my
smoothies. It’s filled with electrolytes, so it’s a great naturally
hydrating beverage choice.
If you choose to add the apple
cider vinegar it muddles the flavor a
bit, but is still good. May your days be bloat-free, friends! Get more
