The Anti-Bloat Smoothie

Banana:  Bananas are high in potassium.  Potassium helps regulate sodium levels, which prevents water retention.  Too much sodium is a big cause of bloating, so that’s why bananas (and other foods high in potassium) help with bloating.
Ginger:  Ginger is a natural anti-inflammatory food as well as a digestive aid.  It soothes the digestive system and relaxes the muscles of the digestive tract, which keeps you from getting bloated.  You know I love my ginger.  Take a look at that huge hunk of fresh ginger in the picture below.  I eat one of those per week.
Apple Cider Vinegar:  I list this one as optional in the smoothie recipe because the smoothie absolutely tastes better without it.  Apple cider vinegar, however, is a rock star for reducing gas and bloating.  So if you are super serious about reducing your bloat, add this to your smoothie.
