The Ultimate Gut-Friendly Smoothie

The Ultimate Gut-Friendly Smoothie

When it comes to high performance, whether you're chasing a PB on the track or smashing your training blocks, your nutrition needs to be as strategic as your workouts. But for many athletes, digestive discomfort can get in the way of consistency, energy levels, and recovery.

That’s where this gluten-free, gut-friendly smoothie comes in.

We already know that beets have long been a favourite among endurance athletes, thanks to their natural nitrate content — which supports blood flow, oxygen efficiency, and stamina. Gutti's Beet400 makes it easier than ever to get a performance-focused dose without needing to prep or juice raw beetroot.

Just one scoop provides clean, effective nitrate support — perfect for pre-run, pre-lift, or even recovery days.

Smoothie Recipe:

Gluten-Free. Gut-Friendly. Packed with Performance Power.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • ½ cup frozen strawberries
  • ¼ cup frozen pineapple
  • ½ cup baby spinach (optional greens boost)
  • 1 tsp chia seeds
  • ¼ tsp fresh grated ginger
  • 1 scoop Gutti's Beet400
  • Ice cubes
  • Optional: 1 tsp maple syrup for sweetness

 

Method:
Blend everything until smooth. Drink fresh. Feel powerful.

 

Why This Combo Works

  • Gentle on digestion – No gluten, no dairy, and no high-FODMAP ingredients to cause post-run regret.
  • Low-calorie, high-function – Just 137 cals and 5g fibre to support your gut without slowing you down.
  • Beetroot = Performance – Nitrates support endurance, improve VO₂ max, and reduce fatigue during longer training blocks.
  • Chia + Ginger – Chia gives a hit of omega-3s and fibre; ginger supports gut comfort and reduces inflammation.

 

When to Use It

  • Pre-run fuel (30–60 min before): Light, digestible, and energising.
  • Recovery boost: Add a scoop of protein and you’ve got a powerful post-workout shake.
  • Everyday gut support: Even on rest days, your gut and heart will thank you.

 

Final Word

Performance doesn’t just come from the track — it starts in your gut. This Beet400 smoothie is proof that you don’t need to compromise on flavour or function. It’s simple, effective, and designed to support athletes who take their fuel seriously.

Try it. Share it. Smash your goals.
