Though it may be chilly this time of year, a quick and easy smoothie is still one of our go-to breakfast options. After all, it’s hard to resist something you can dump in a blender and drink on the way to work, especially since you can customize a smoothie with all your favorite fixings.
How to Make the Ultimate Healthy Breakfast Smoothie
Or you can use a recipe to make your morning smoothie—we love opting for aPineapple Green Smoothieor a simpleFruit & Yogurt Smoothie. And if you’re a big fan of Olivia Rodrigo (or a big fan of gut-healthy recipes) you can even try her favorite smoothie on for size.
Olivia is the latest celebrity tocollaborate with Erewhon, the LA-based health foods store, on a special smoothie recipe that anyone can walk up and order. Her “good 4 urGUTS” smoothie is packed with fruity flavor and plenty of gut-healthy ingredients, so it’s a fun option for the microbiome-conscious.

Of course, even if you don’t live in Los Angeles, you can still copy this icy beverage at home. The folks over at Erewhon and Health-Ade Kombucha have shared the ingredients list, so you can mix and match these gut-healthy ingredients in your own blender. Here’s what you’ll need:
Of course, some of these ingredients are more negotiable than others. If you have a preferred protein powder you keep on hand, for instance, you can swap it in for the chocolate variety that Erewhon calls for. And the ION and SIBU products aren’t necessary either, so don’t stress about going over budget on supplements. And remember thatmost supplements aren’t regulated, so be sure to choose supplements that are independently verified to help you know you’re actually getting what’s on the label.
You can leave that finishing dollop of coconut whipped cream off, too, if you like, though it would definitely make the drink feel even more like a treat. (Plus, you can make coconut whipat home with just three ingredients.)

Even the oatmilk in this recipeoffers a little extra fiber, which can be especially good for your gut. Both the oatmilk and the kombucha also help give the smoothie a smoother, more drinkable texture, so be sure to replace them with a different liquid if you choose to leave them out.
