Smoothie Pro Tips For Optimizing Digestion: Pour into a bowl and eat with a spoon to promote chewing and increase digestive enzyme output; use fresh vs. frozen fruits/veggies or let them come to room temp; add carminative herbs (which aid in digestive motility aka movin’ things along) via warming spices like cinnamon, ginger and clove.
