Why It’s Gut-Friendly:

Cucumber is a wonderful hydrator, and it works wonders on your gut by soothing any inflammation or discomfort. Lime not only provides a zesty taste but also supports your digestive system by promoting bile production and improving overall gut function. Mint, a natural anti-spasmodic, is perfect for calming bloating, cramping, and gas. The natural carbonation from the sparkling water or kombucha helps with digestion and relieves bloating. Without the added sugar found in many mixers.

This mocktail is a simple yet delicious way to support your gut health while still enjoying a drink that feels special. Whether you’re unwinding after a long day or hosting friends, The Gut Glow is sure to be a hit!
