Red Antioxidant Smoothie

This bright red smoothie is a rich source of red polyphenols, which support the growth of your bifidobacteria and akkermansia muciniphila—beneficial gut microbes that support metabolic health, gut health, and immune system health. This smoothie is also highly anti-inflammatory due to its high content of vitamin C, anthocyanins, and detoxification compounds found in the cabbage! I add an amino acid powder and a red polyphenol powder to this recipe for additional nutrient support. The amino acid powder adds protein in its purest form for protein synthesis in the body, muscle performance, energy production, neurotransmitter synthesis, and glutathione production. The red polyphenol powder increases the overall antioxidant and anthocyanin levels in this smoothie to enhance gut health, reduce oxidative stress, and improve energy levels.
