At Princeton Integrative Health, we believe in nourishing your body with whole foods that support optimal digestive function and overall wellness. This thoughtfully crafted smoothie combines hydrating ingredients with gentle fiber and plant-based nutrients to promote comfortable digestion while providing sustained energy.
The Science Behind the Blend
Our integrative approach focuses on foods that work synergistically to support your body's natural processes. This smoothie incorporates ingredients specifically chosen for their digestive benefits and nutritional density, aligning with our philosophy of food as medicine.
Key Benefits:
- Digestive support through naturally hydrating coconut water and gentle, fiber-rich leafy greens
- Sustained satiation from healthy fats and clean plant protein
- Antioxidant protection from phytonutrient-dense berries
- Inflammatory balance through whole food ingredients
Therapeutic Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups organic coconut water (natural electrolyte replenishment)
- ½ cup organic blueberries, fresh or frozen (anthocyanin antioxidants)
- ½ ripe avocado (monounsaturated fats and potassium)
- 2 cups organic butter leaf lettuce, loosely packed (gentle fiber and minerals)
- 1 scoop high-quality, plant-based protein powder (amino acid support)
Preparation Method
- Foundation first – Pour coconut water into blender to create optimal blending consistency
- Layer mindfully – Add lettuce, followed by blueberries, avocado, and protein powder in sequence
- Blend with intention – Begin at low speed, gradually increasing to achieve smooth, creamy consistency without compromising nutrient integrity
- Adjust to preference – Modify sweetness naturally with additional berries or dilute with coconut water as desired
- Consume mindfully – Enjoy immediately to maximize nutrient bioavailability and flavor profile
Clinical Note
For enhanced digestive and anti-inflammatory benefits, consider adding 2-3 fresh organic mint leaves before blending. The menthol compounds in mint provide additional digestive support and cooling properties.
This smoothie exemplifies our commitment to functional nutrition—where every ingredient serves a purpose in supporting your body's innate healing capacity and optimal function.
