Green gut smoothie

Leading gut health scientist Jordan Haworth, aka @MrGutHealth, says: “This smoothie is rich in fibre, phenols and fermented foods. You can buy frozen tropical fruits from most large supermarkets – usually a mix of papaya, pineapple and mango, which are loaded with vitamin C, which is important for collagen production.”
