Gooseberry & Currant Smoothies

If you’re lucky enough to have access to fresh gooseberries and currants, try enjoying them in these energizing and satisfying smoothies. They will surely please the taste buds! For the most healing option, make these smoothies with coconut water. For a creamier and more indulgent option that kids may especially love, try them with almond milk, gluten-free oat milk, or coconut milk.

Both fresh gooseberries and fresh currants fulfill prebiotic needs and postbiotic needs, especially after someone has taken a course of antibiotics or gone through some kind of intestinal tract infection, gallbladder infection, liver infection, or even surgery.
