If there’s one thing that’s for sure in this world, it’s that you simply cannot get enough greens to satisfy your good gut buddies. And when you start to avoid lectins – you’ll find your cravings for dark leafy greens will skyrocket.
But, there are so many good reasons to get your greens. For instance, there’s this added benefit – if you get your greens, they’ll start to suppress your appetite for the bad stuff that isn’t part of Dr. Gundry’s gut cleanse protocol.
Now, studies have shown that the phytochemicals in spinach dramatically reduce hunger for simple sugars and fats in humans.1And of course, that’s one reason why it’s a key ingredient in this Green Smoothie – which makes a perfectly delicious breakfast drink. You are on your way to a great Dr Gundry breakfast.
Of course, you can follow the recipe below as it’s written, but you can also put your own spin on it. For instance, if you love coconut – add some! Or you can throw in some 72% dark chocolate bits for a polyphenol boost. You can even toss in some carrots to sweeten it up. There is a reason people love our lectin free carrot muffins recipe. And blueberries are okay, too, when they’re in season (that’s April – October, depending on where you live).
I also like adding a scoop of GundryMD Prebiothrive (to feed those good gut bugs), Vital Reds for a bright berry flavor and Primal Plants for a tart apple taste.
