【NEW RECIPE】 Gut-Friendly Piña Colada Smoothie

Looking for a refreshing, feel-good smoothie that supports digestion and tastes like summer in a glass? This Postbiotic Piña Colada Smoothie is a delicious blend of tropical fruits and gut-friendly ingredients. It is perfect for hot days or anytime your body needs a little reset.

Why You'll Love It

This smoothie isn’t just tasty. It is a nourishing drink that helps hydrate, energize, and restore balance from the inside out.

What Makes It Gut-Friendly?

The key ingredient, R’s KOSO, is a traditional Japanese fermented drink made from over 100 whole foods, including seasonal fruits, vegetables, seaweeds, mushrooms, and Japanese herbs, fermented slowly for over a year.

Adding just 1 tablespoon of R’s KOSO Original or 2 teaspoons of R’s KOSO Lower Sugar gives this smoothie a gentle natural sweetness while delivering powerful benefits for your gut.

Benefits of adding R’s KOSO to your smoothie

• Supports digestion and a healthy microbiome

• Promotes your body’s natural detoxification

• Balances mood and boosts energy

• Improves skin clarity and reduces bloating

• Control your appetite and make it easier to manage your weight

It’s a natural gut-supporting drink with a purpose.

Pineapple: More Than Just Sweet

Pineapple isn’t just juicy and flavorful. It is packed with bromelain, a digestive enzyme that helps break down protein, vitamin C to support immune health, and antioxidants that fight inflammation. It’s also hydrating and supports collagen production.

Coconut: Clean Energy + Hydration

This recipe includes both coconut milk and coconut water, giving you a dose of healthy fats and electrolytes.

Coconut milk provides MCTs (medium-chain triglycerides), which are easy-to-digest fats that support brain function and energy.

Coconut water is naturally rich in potassium, magnesium, and sodium, making it a perfect rehydration tool, especially in the heat.
