High Fiber Green Super Smoothie with Psyllium

You’d never guess the secret in-green-dient in this high-fiber super smoothie! A beautiful medley of fruits and vegetables, plus Psyllium Whole Husk Fiber, combine delightfully into a green power machine. Packed with goodness, this vibrant, creamy beverage delivers a host of benefits, not least a delicious boost to your daily fiber intake.

Increasing fiber is an easy key to boosting health. A vital component of a healthy diet, fiber promotes healthy digestion, smooth elimination, and more. In addition to increasing beneficial gut bacteria, a combination of soluble and insoluble fiber has been further associated with lower risk for cardiovascular and other diseases. High fiber foods are plentiful and tasty, yet according to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), 95% of Americans don’t get enough of it.  Psyllium Whole Husk Fiber is an excellent source of both types of natural dietary fiber that blends beautifully in tasty shakes, making it an easy, trustworthy ally in achieving your fiber goals and feeling satisfied.

Broccoli might not be your first thought when it comes to smoothies, but frozen florets make for a wonderful, nutrient-rich addition. Tart green apple and pear lend natural sweetness in place of the usual banana, while a little avocado and fresh ginger bring creaminess and a burst of piquant flavor. Our family loves apple juice in this refreshing powerhouse, but unsweetened plant milk or coconut water work great, too. No need to measure out ingredients–play around as you desire and reap the rewards!

Boosting your fiber intake can feel so refreshing!
