How to Make a “GAPS Milkshake”

A “GAPS Milkshake” = Fresh pressed juice + eggs + sour cream/yogurt/kefir/coconut oil

It offers a delightful and nutritious way to support the gut. Fresh-pressed juice provides a a double dose of vitamins & minerals. The richness of fats and proteins present in the milkshake further nourishes the body, supporting overall well-being and providing fat-soluble vitamins that support nutrient deficiencies.

The fat in the shake helps slow down how our body processes the sugar in the juice.

Serves 2!

Ingredients/Materials:

• 50% therapeutic ingredients: (carrot, small piece beetroot, celery, cabbage, lettuce, greens)

&

• 50% “tastier” ingredients (apple, orange, blueberries, etc).

My typical morning GAPS shake looks like:

Juice:

• 6-8 carrots

• 1/2 cucumber (when in season)

• 2 stalks celery

• 2 small pieces beet (no morethan 5% of juice)

• 2 small slices apple

• 2 fennel fronds, bok choy or any other green in season

• small piece ginger

Combined in a blender with:

• 2-4+ pasteuerd eggs

• ~6TB of crème fraîche, sour cream, milk or coconut kefir, yogurt or coconut yogurt, coconut oil, ghee, butter

• juice of 1 lemon if desired

Pour into 2 glasses & enjoy on an empty stomach - either 1st thing in the morning or as an afternoon snack, or 20 minutes before a meal.

GAPS shakes are an indispensable & delicious tool in supporting gut healing, fostering a robust gut-brain connection, and paving the way for improved digestive balance and general wellness.
