The Gut Revive Green Smoothie – Your Metabolism + Gut Healths’s New Best Friend
The Best Gut Health Smoothie for Digestion, Metabolism, and Energy
Your gut is the foundation of your metabolism, hormones, and overall well-being—so why not start your day with something that actually supports it?
Enter the Gut Revive Smoothie, a creamy, delicious blend packed with gut-loving probiotics, collagen, blood sugar-balancing cinnamon, and metabolism-boosting MCT oil.
This isn’t just a green smoothie—it’s a full-body reset in a glass, designed to enhance digestion, support gut bacteria, and keep your energy steady all day long.
Why Your Gut Will Love This Smoothie
Gut health isn’t just about avoiding bloating (though, yes, that’s a major perk). When your gut is thriving, your metabolism hums, your hormones stay balanced, and your energy levels feel stable instead of swinging between highs and crashes.
Every ingredient in this smoothie has been chosen with that in mind:
Key Ingredients + Their Gut-Loving Benefits
🥬 Mitchell’s NZ Fermented Greens Powder – because your gut LOVES fermented foods. This powder is packed with probiotics, enzymes, and micronutrients that help balance gut bacteria, reduce bloating, and improve digestion.
🍌 Banana (fresh or frozen) – a natural source of prebiotic fibre, which feeds the good bacteria in your gut, supports digestion, and enhances nutrient absorption.
💪 Mitchell’s NZ Vanilla Bone Broth Protein Powder – gut-healing collagen and amino acids to support the integrity of your gut lining, aid in muscle recovery, and enhance metabolism.
🥥 MCT Oil – a quick energy source that bypasses digestion and goes straight to your cells for fuel. It also helps your body absorb fat-soluble vitamins, making every sip more nourishing and metabolism-boosting.
✨ Cinnamon – a powerhouse spice that helps balance blood sugar, improve insulin sensitivity, and support digestion, making it a perfect addition for gut health and metabolism.
💧 Filtered Water – hydration is the foundation of gut health, supporting digestion, detoxification, and proper nutrient absorption.
HOW TO MAKE IT
Ingredients:
- 1 scoop fermented greens powder
- 1 banana (room temp, frozen optional)
- 1 serve @mitchells.nz vanilla bone broth protein powder
- 1 tsp. MCT oil/coconut oil
- ½ tsp. cinnamon
- 1 cup filtered water or milk of choice
- Ice (optional)
Method:
Throw everything into a blender, blend until smooth, and enjoy the benefits of better digestion, stable energy, and a metabolism that works for you—not against you.
WHY THIS WORKS AS A MORNING GUT HEALTH RESET
Instead of spiking your blood sugar with a sugary breakfast or skipping it altogether (which just leads to cortisol chaos and energy crashes), this gut-friendly smoothie fuels your body with easily digestible protein, healthy fats, and gut-supporting fibre—all without the crash.
It’s smooth, creamy, perfectly balanced, and most importantly, it makes you feel GOOD. No bloating. No sugar spikes. Just pure gut support in a glass.

The 3 Step Gut Health Morning Routine for Busy Women
THE 3 STEP GUT HEALTH MORNING ROUTINE FOR BUSY WOMEN
5 / MARCH / 2025
SHEREE'S HEALTH DIARIES
Your gut is the CEO of your metabolism—treat it like one.
What you do first thing in the morning matters more than you think. While you sleep, your digestive system slows down, your gut bacteria reset, and your body shifts into repair mode.
If you start your day with stress, caffeine, or a blood sugar spike, you’re already putting yourself at a disadvantage. Instead, a few simple morning habits can supercharge your gut, energy, and metabolism for the entire day.
MY 3-STEP GUT-FRIENDLY MORNING ROUTINE
F - Fast overnight for 12 hours, fermented tonic,
A - Add sunlight, high-protein + fibre breakfast, hydration
M - Movement + mindfulness
I call it the ‘F.A.M’ framework because our bugs have what we call a symbiotic relationship with us - meaning they are mutually beneficial - we look after them and they look after us. The way I see it, they are like family. Living alongside us in the home that is our body. So here’s how can we support this little family of bugs:
F:
1. Fasting Overnight for 12 Hours
Think of overnight fasting as a reset button for your gut. When you give your digestive system a break, it repairs and balances the beneficial bacteria that fuel your metabolism. It also improves insulin sensitivity, so when you do eat, your body uses energy more efficiently instead of storing it as fat. Late-night snacking disrupts this process, leading to sluggish digestion, blood sugar imbalances, and poor metabolic function. Keeping a 12-hour fasting window (from dinner to breakfast) allows your body to function optimally.
2. Fermented Tonic to Kickstart Digestion
Before reaching for coffee, start your morning with a fermented tonic like beet kvass, water kefir, or apple cider vinegar in water. My favourite is @cloverferments blend kvass (use ‘SHEREE15’ for 15% off). Fermented drinks are packed with probiotics that replenish your gut microbiome, support stomach acid production, and prevent bloating. Stomach acid is key for breaking down nutrients, and without it, you risk sluggish digestion and poor absorption. This simple habit helps your gut wake up and get to work.
F & A:
3. Fibre + High-Protein at Breakfast
Skipping breakfast or loading up on refined carbs leads to blood sugar crashes, cravings, and energy dips. Instead, pairing fibre with high-quality protein stabilizes blood sugar, fuels your metabolism, and keeps you full for longer. Fibre also feeds the good bacteria in your gut, helping to produce short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) that reduce inflammation and support metabolic function.
Some easy high-protein + fibre-rich breakfast ideas:
✨ Chia pudding with Greek yoghurt and berries
✨ Scrambled eggs with avocado and sautéed greens
✨ A protein smoothie with flaxseeds and spinach
A:
4. Add Sunlight Exposure
Morning sunlight isn’t just for good vibes—it regulates your circadian rhythm, which impacts digestion, metabolism, and hormone balance. Sunlight boosts serotonin (which later converts to melatonin), supporting gut motility and better sleep. It also enhances insulin function, helping your body process energy efficiently instead of storing it as fat. Aim for 10-30 minutes of natural light exposure within an hour of waking up.
5. Add Hydration First, Caffeine Later
Your body wakes up dehydrated, and reaching straight for coffee only worsens the problem by spiking cortisol (your stress hormone). Water first thing in the morning helps flush out toxins, jumpstart digestion, and rehydrate your cells. Chronic dehydration slows metabolism, contributes to bloating, and affects energy levels. If you need caffeine, wait at least 90 minutes after waking—this supports more balanced energy levels and reduces cortisol spikes.
M:
6. Move Your Body
Your gut loves movement, science has even proven the little bugs dance with joy when you are moving your body. Gentle exercise—like walking, yoga, or stretching—stimulates digestion by increasing blood flow to your gut and promoting peristalsis (the wave-like muscle contractions that move food through your digestive system). It also improves blood sugar regulation, boosts mitochondrial function (your body’s energy factories), and enhances metabolic efficiency. Even just 5-10 minutes of movement in the morning can make a difference.
7. Mindfulness
Your gut and nervous system are deeply connected—stress can literally shut down digestion. Taking just a few minutes to practice deep breathing, gratitude journaling, or slow, intentional sips of your morning drink can enhance digestion and lower cortisol.
When you stack these habits first thing in the morning, you create the perfect foundation for a thriving gut, steady energy, and a metabolism that works for you—not against you. Small habits, huge impact. Your gut (and metabolism) will thank you! 💛

Is Sitting the New Smoking? How a Sedentary Lifestyle is Sabotaging Your Metabolic Health
IS SITTING THE NEW SMOKING? HOW A SEDENTARY LIFESTYLE IS SABOTAGING YOUR METABOLIC HEALTH
19 / FEBRUARY / 2025
SHEREE'S HEALTH DIARIES
It’s been said that “sitting is the new smoking”—and for good reason. Sedentary living is now recognized as a major risk factor for metabolic dysfunction, heart disease, and hormonal imbalances. But how often do we stop and really think about how much of our day is spent sitting?
Just consider your daily routine: you sleep (hopefully lying down), eat breakfast seated, drive to work seated, sit through meetings, eat lunch seated, work some more, drive home seated, maybe squeeze in a workout or a walk, then sit down for dinner and unwind before bed—seated yet again. That’s hours upon hours of inactivity, and our bodies weren’t built for this level of stillness.
Sitting for too long can cause poor blood flow, increased blood pressure, and a higher likelihood of developing blood clots. Studies link prolonged inactivity to a greater risk of heart disease and stroke, as circulation becomes sluggish and blood vessels stiffen over time.
A recent study revealed that interrupting prolonged periods of sitting with "movement snacks" —like 10 bodyweight squats every 45 minutes—are more effective for blood sugar regulation during a long sitting period than one 30-minute walk.
This concept of 'movement snacks' as we like to call it @thewildandwellcollective have been shown to be even more effective than a sustained duration of exercise
In the study, participants who performed 10 body weight squats every 45 minutes had better blood sugar regulation in comparison to those who stayed seated or took a 30 minute walk.
Concluding that short, frequent movement helps improve glycemic control. Balanced blood sugar levels support overall metabolic health and weight loss management.
The solution isn’t just adding a single workout to your day—it’s integrating movement throughout your routine.
TRY THIS
✅ Standing or walking meetings
✅ Bodyweight exercises every hour (think: 10 squats or lunges)
✅ Walking or stretching breaks after meals
✅ Using a standing desk or alternating between sitting and standing
✅ Taking phone calls while walking
Your body is designed for movement, not hours of stagnation. By making small, intentional shifts in your daily routine, you can support your metabolism, balance hormones, and protect your long-term health—one step at a time.

3 Reasons You Wake Up Bloated
3 REASONS YOU ARE WAKING UP BLOATED
15 / JANUARY / 2025
SHEREE'S HEALTH DIARIES
Waking up bloated? Here's 3 reasons why...
1. You ate a late meal...
When you consume a late meal, i.e. only a couple of hours or less before you got to bed, it can impact the body's digestive processes during the night. Especially if it was one rich in complex carbohydrates.
As the body metabolises food, there is an increase in insulin secretion, promoting glycogen storage. However, late-night meals may not allow sufficient time for the body to utilise or burn off the stored glycogen, leading to water retention and a sensation of bloating in the morning.
Additionally, the delayed emptying of the stomach during sleep can contribute to a feeling of fullness and bloating upon waking.
2. You're stressed out...
Cortisol, known as the stress hormone, plays a crucial role in the body's fight-or-flight response. Elevated cortisol levels, often associated with chronic stress, can impact digestive functions.
Scientific studies suggest that stress-induced cortisol release may lead to changes in gastrointestinal motility, promoting bloating and discomfort.
Moreover, stress can influence our food choices, often triggering us to reach for high-fat or high-sugar foods, which can further contribute to bloating.
3. You've got a deeper gut issue...
We're talking food sensitivities, impaired or lack of digestive enzymes, dysbiosis in the gut or SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth)
Reactions to specific foods, such as gluten or lactose, can contribute to bloating, not producing enough digestive enzymes can inhibit the breakdown of our foods, and poor microbiome health i.e. SIBO or dysbiosis can cause bloating because there's an imbalance of good vs bad bacteria and that excess of bad bacteria can ferment food and produce gas causing bloating.
Wanna learn how to beat the bloat?
In my free 5-day beat the bloat challenge I'm sharing exactly how you can stop the bloating for good, and see changes in as little as 3 days!

- 1 avocado, diced
- 1 cup black beans, cooked
- 1 cup cooked quinoa

LETTER FROM THE EDITOR
When I’ve written personal notes in my blogs or newsletters they have been received with nothing but love and shared stories or support and for that I am so grateful for you, my community. So as this year comes to a close I wanted to write a little letter of reflection.
Normally at the end of the year I will write my top 10 lessons, and to be honest, each could be its own blog with the amount I could share, but this year I wanted to try something different, weaving in the reflection with the lessons, the stories and the memories.
This year has been one of tremendous learning and growth, both personally and professionally. It is the year I entered a new decade, and quite frankly has been one of the best years of my life.
I like to think of myself as quite an optimistic person. So regardless of the challenges I face, I do always look for the lessons, the silver linings, the positives that came out of the inner turmoil I may have gone through and whilst this year is no different in terms of the number of inner struggles that happened behind the scenes… I feel like something shifted in the way I handled them, or learnt to handle them and approached things with a new level of grace.
This year started on one of the biggest highs as my friend group and I managed to score tickets to Tomorrowland in Belgium (one of the biggest music festivals in the world). Which soon followed booking a month of travel around Europe with my brother and some of my best friends for my 30th birthday!
Yes, this year I hit the big 3-0. I moved house, made some incredible new friends and strengthened relationships with some of the best humans I could ask to have by my side. I got to the happiest and healthiest (and sexiest IMO) I have ever been - and did a photoshoot to capture this! Along with some deep inner healing far beyond gut health and hormones that I didn’t know I needed and I have acquired a level of self-love and acceptance I am so truly grateful for.
After a challenging move in Easter of this year, I moved into a home that has allowed me to expand in so many ways. For someone who is very much an ambivert, I did struggle being in solitude for too long. It seemed to bring up a lot of my fears that I hadn’t quite dealt with before. But this year called for a lot of inner work and uncomfortable situations that called me forward and I am so glad they did.
I had the pleasure this year of going back to working with clients in person, and whilst this only makes up about 10% of my working week, it has been so incredibly fun to see, squeeze (hug) and support my gorgeous clients IRL! As well as feeling like part of a bigger team again. Thank you Les Mills Howick - you’ve always been my extended family.
The biggest transformation happened however, during my travels. I was fortunate enough to have my (not-so-little), little brother as my travelling companion all around Europe for the month of July. We went from London to Greece, to Amsterdam, to Belgium and finished in Ibiza. Collecting friends and incredible memories along the way.
Just prior to this trip I learnt the lesson not to force things in a big way. I had HUGE plans in place, and woke up one morning, the week before I was due to fly and execute said plans with a LOUD voice in my head saying NO. Tears sprung to my eyes, and as much as it meant going against my own plans, I knew that this message, this voice was divine protection and redirection. I cannot tell you the relief I felt when I cancelled said plans and hopped on the plane to London in full surrender.
Whilst I honestly loved every single minute of my travels, yacht week in Greece was quite possibly the best week of my life. The people, the dancing, sailing on the Mediterranean sea. My heart was full, my eyes were opened and I truly felt like myself in ways I never have before. I personally think there’s something magical that happens when you travel. Or maybe it’s just that I give myself more permission to take up space, be me - loud, outgoing, authentic, free Sheree. I had this same experience in the US last year and it’s reminding me to be that full self no matter where I am in the world, or how uncomfortable that may feel.
Once I returned from Europe it was like something had shifted inside. I came back with a new lease on life, new focus in my business, and everything was falling into place beautifully, until it wasn’t. To cut a long story short - I got my heart broke - and whilst the details aren’t necessarily important here, what it did teach me was to pour into the people and relationships I have around me. This was one of my biggest lessons I could’ve learnt and as a result I have created some of the most beautiful friendships a girl could ask for. I have created a true sense of inner peace and joy regardless of any external circumstances or situations. I can honestly say I am the happiest I have ever been in my life and that is not dependent on anyone, or anything. Sure I have my ups and downs, but I know deep in my heart that I am in control of myself, my state, my mindset and how I choose to operate and live my life. And if it is disturbing my peace I am more than happy to let it go.
Which is how I got to focusing on simplifying to amplify. A process I am still deep in the weeds of executing, but the concept from the book ‘10X is Easier than 2X’ has been a game changer to say the least. Working on staying in my zone of genius and letting go and refining, letting go and refining and letting go and refining what’s working and what’s not on every single level has been incredibly empowering. If you haven’t read this book and love personal development, I cannot recommend it enough.
A massive reason I believe I have been able to execute so much of this and arrive at a state of such clarity and inner peace is because of the level of self-awareness curated over the years, and a willingness to do the work when things get hard - and believe me, they got and do get f*cken hard! This is said from a place of love, and compassion vs ego. It is my hope that it serves as a reminder that you are love, your essence is pure joy inside and your ability to smile at the littlest things as well as work through the largest pain or hurt is all down to a choice you make within yourself. We choose whether we shut down our heart and our emotions or keep it open even in the face of adversity. Something I deeply connect with in the book ‘The Untethered Soul’ in the later half of this year. We have that power, we have that gift, we have that choice within us - to be love.
So as I close out this letter I hope there have been some moments that really have resonated with you. Whether it is knowing when to trust and let go, or knowing when to keep showing up and doing the work. Whether it is that you are the creator of your reality and that includes your mindset as well as your community. Or that you hold the power and key to your peace… Know that I am here cheering you on. It is both my wish and my mission, that every single one of you knows they are inherently worthy, and lovable. No matter your past, or present, you hold everything you need inside of you to have an incredible future. Remember, your smile lights up the world and the world is a better place because you are in it.
Thank you for being here and walking this path with me, after all, we are all just guiding each other home 🩷
Much love always, in health and happiness,
Sheree xo
