Beyond helping us regulate the intestine, thanks to its ingredients, this smoothie is a perfect alternative to obtain energy, re-mineralize the body and even to lose weight

Did you know that you can regulate the intestine with a delicious vanilla smoothie ?

It is easy to prepare, it is made with natural and healthy ingredients. This type of preparation allows us to balance intestinal function to overcome possible disorders such as:

• The constipation.
• Diarrhea
• Irritable bowel

In this article we will tell you about the medicinal properties of its ingredients: chia seeds, oats and prunes. We will also tell you how to prepare it and when it is recommended to consume it so that it is more effective.  

Regulating the intestine is essential

According to the perspective of natural medicine, the intestine is key to our health.

• If it doesn’t work properly, it eventually becomes a source of disruption.
• On the other hand, if our intestine is healthy, it becomes the best way to prevent diseases. 

Regulating the intestine is therefore essential for good health and quality of life. We will achieve this with a balanced diet, avoiding stress and, if necessary, with natural supplements.

In this article we propose you to make a recipe with several very beneficial ingredients for intestinal health.

Chia seeds

Chia seeds are a food rich in vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, fatty acids and fiber. They have the property of cleaning and regulating the intestine, as well as protecting the bacterial flora. 

If we leave them to soak overnight they swell and become gelatinous, a texture that helps us calm, protect and purify the entire digestive tract.

Oatmeal

Oatmeal is a very suitable cereal to treat any intestinal disorder, since it is rich in beta-glucans, a soluble fiber that gives a feeling of satiety and facilitates evacuation.

It also has calming properties that help balance nervous disorders that affect the intestine, such as irritable bowel.

In addition, oats have a prebiotic effect that favors the growth of bacterial flora. This suffers the negative effects of antibiotics, stress or overly refined diet.

Prunes

Prunes or dried prunes, thanks to their content of sorbitol and hydroxyphenylistin, are an ancient remedy to combat constipation, as well as providing us with a good dose of antioxidants.

To help us improve intestinal function, we must marinate them in water, in the same way as with chia seeds.

Vanilla smoothie

With these three medicinal ingredients and some other healthy ingredients we can prepare a delicious  vanilla smoothie  to regulate the intestine every morning.

Ingredients

For this delicious  smoothie we will  need the following ingredients and quantities:

• 1 tablespoon of chia seeds (14 g).
• 3 prunes.
• 1 tablespoon of rolled oats (8 g).
• Vanilla essence.
• 1 glass of water (200 ml).

The prunes will add the necessary sweetness to this  smoothie so that we do not need to add sugar.

• However, if we want it sweeter we can add a little honey or agave syrup.
• If we want to give it a more yellow color, we will add a pinch of turmeric powder. 

Preparation

To prepare this recipe we will carry out the following steps:

• The night before we will put the chia seeds and the prunes to marinate in the glass of water.

• In the morning we will process all the ingredients, including the water in which we have soaked the plums and chia.
• Be careful with prunes, which may have the bone, which we must remove before beating.
• The texture should be quite thick and creamy, without lumps.
• If we want more liquid, as a shake, we will only have to add a little more water.

When to take it?

It is recommended to take this   vanilla smoothie on an empty stomach, first thing in the morning, so that its effect is more powerful. If we are hungrier, we can have breakfast later, as long as we wait at least half an hour.

The treatment to clean the intestine lasts for 15 days. The most advisable thing is to do it seasonally, several times a year or when we feel the most unbalanced intestine.

This   vanilla smoothie not only helps us regulate the intestine, but it is also a very healthy breakfast, suitable for obtaining energy and vitality, re-mineralizing the body, preventing osteoporosis and losing weight.

For this reason, it is suitable for anyone who wants to have breakfast and start the day in a healthy way.
