Smoothies for Bloating

By Jen Hansard | 46 Comments

RECIPE CARD LEAVE REVIEW
smoothie for bloating that actually work

Check out these smoothies for bloating, and stop living in discomfort! We've all been there at one time or another. For whatever reason we find ourselves feeling bloated and uncomfortable. It could be due to overeating, eating the wrong foods, or another cause. One thing is certain: it's no fun at all. There are plenty of natural bloating remedies, including drinking a green smoothie chock full of anti-bloat ingredients to get you (and your gut) feeling better.

Common causes of belly bloat

Bloating occurs when fluid or air is trapped in the digestive tract. It can be caused by an imbalance of electrolytes - sodium and potassium. Too much sodium can cause bloating, so I bring things back to balance with potassium-rich foods. Since bloating is common in both adults and children, I've created several smoothies for bloating, specifically to fight this discomfort.

Home remedies for bloating

Instead of reaching for medication, it's worth giving these natural remedies a try, especially when it comes to belly bloating. If bloating is an underlying symptom, then make sure to reach out to your doctor for a treatment plan, as diet isn't always enough. However, most often bloating is caused by a diet low in fiber. Up that fiber intake so that gut can do a happy dance. While green smoothies for bloating are a great fiber starter, here are some other natural ways to help with bloating:

Get hydrated

Hydration helps prevent bloating, as well as cure existing bloating. That may seem counterintuitive if you're retaining water, but drinking plenty of water can help move excess water through your system, particularly if you add some fresh squeezed lemon juice. Now, hydrated doesn't just mean fluid of any kind. Liquids high in sodium (soda, gatorade) or sugar (juice) aren't going to help, instead they'll make the symptoms worse! Make sure water is on the menu every single day.

Drink smoothies that fight bloating

I LOVE green smoothies. Did you know that? They are super versatile, as well as packed with fruits + veggies naturally designed to help our bodies. This includes help with bloating and discomfort. So when you start feeling discomfort, turn to this list of bloating remedies:

  • Ginger
  • Banana
  • Lemon
  • Cantaloupe
  • Avocado
  • Pumpkin

Detox your body of bloat-causing food

One of the most common reasons that people try a cleanse is bloating. And while beginning to eat high fiber foods may cause some bloating, by day 4-5, you'll start to notice that flatter, less swollen stomach (along with better sleep, hydration, energy, and so much more!). Both my Seasonal Cleanses and Seasonal Cleanses were created with ingredients that break down the trapped gas + fluid and help keep that digestive tract moving.

a beautiful smoothie with so many healthy nutrients!

Total Time5 minutes
Servings1 smoothie

Ingredients

  • 1 cup spinach
  • ½ cucumber (peeled if desired)
  • 1 stalk celery
  • 1 cup pineapple (frozen)
  • ¼ cup papaya
  • 1 tablespoon ginger root (fresh)
  • 1 tablespoon lime (juice)
  • 1 serving Protein Smoothie Boost (optional)

Instructions

  • Place spinach, cucumber, and celery into blender. Blend until smooth. The cucumber should provide enough liquid, but if not, add a little water.
  • Add the pineapple, papaya, ginger, and lime juice. Blend again until completely smooth.
  • Serve immediately or refrigerate in jars with tight-fitting lids for up to 2 days.

Notes

To turn this into a meal replacement smoothie, add 1 scoop of Protein Smoothie Boost which adds clean, plant-based protein and healthy fats. Most protein powders have gums, sweeteners and artificial flavors that can cause gut issues that lead to bloating. Stick with Protein Smoothie Boost and you'll be good to go!

    So yummy! I didn’t have any Papaya, so I just added a little extra pineapple and it still tastes refreshing and delicious. I can’t wait to try it with papaya!

    Hi there,

    This sounds amazing! Is this one rib of celery, or the entire stalk of celery?

    Cheers!

    I'm not the biggest papaya fan, but this smoothie is super soothing. Definitely needed during the holidays when I tend to indulge in bloating foods.
