Why this smoothie works

1. Kefir – probiotic powerhouse
   
   Chuckling Goat Kefir is a traditional probiotic drink, made from goat’s milk and fermented with live kefir grains. It’s packed with active cultures that support digestion, energy metabolism, mood and your immune system.¹https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4854945/
   
2. Complete Prebiotic – feed your gut bugs
   
   Adding 10g of Complete Prebiotic gives your gut bacteria the fuel they need to thrive. Prebiotics support digestion, enhance nutrient absorption, and complement the probiotics from kefir for a complete gut-health boost.²https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25659062/
   
3. Strawberries – sweet & nutrient-rich
   
   Strawberries add natural sweetness, fibre, and vitamin C, making your smoothie both delicious and nutritious.
   
4. Jalapeño – the “swicy” twist!
   
   The jalapeño brings a gentle kick of heat, turning a classic fruit smoothie into something exciting. Plus, capsaicin (the compound that makes chilies spicy) can help boost metabolism³https://www.webmd.com/diet/health-benefits-capsaicin and add an extra zing to your taste buds.
