As the summer swelters on, finding ways to stay cool becomes essential. But what if you could beat the heat while boosting your gut health in the process? At Panacea Scientific, we believe in the power of integrating healthful, probiotic-rich foods into every aspect of your diet. That’s why we’re excited to share some refreshing summer recipes that do more than just cool you down—they support good gut health with every sip and spoonful.
1. Gut-Health Green Smoothie
Ingredients:
1 cup fresh spinach
1/2 cup frozen pineapple chunks
1/2 ripe banana
1 tablespoon chia seeds
1 cup coconut water
1 scoop of your favorite non-dairy probiotic powder (like Evvea® Probiotics – About 10 Capsules)

Combine all ingredients in a blender.
Blend on high until smooth and creamy.
Serve immediately and enjoy the tropical, gut-healthy refreshment!
This green smoothie is not only delectable, but also packed with probiotics, thanks to the addition of Evvea®. You’re not just treating your taste buds, but doing wonders for your digestive health as well.
2. Kombucha Berry Popsicles with Panacea Greens
Ingredients:
2 cups mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries.)
1 banana for natural sweetness
1 cup kombucha (choose a berry-flavored one for extra berry goodness)
1 cup coconut water or a light juice of your choice
1 recommended serving size of Panacea Greens
Popsicle molds and sticks
Instructions:
In a blender, combine the mixed berries, banana, kombucha, coconut water, and Panacea Greens. Blend until smooth.
If you prefer a smoother texture, you can strain the mixture to remove any seeds or pulp.
Pour the mixture into popsicle molds, leaving a little space at the top for expansion as it freezes.
Place popsicle sticks in the mold and freeze until solid, usually about 4–6 hours or overnight. To release the popsicles, run the mold under warm water for a few seconds and then gently pull on the sticks.
These kombucha berry popsicles are elevated with the addition of Panacea Greens to provide an extra nutritional boost. The subtle flavors of the greens blend well with the bright berries and the tangy kombucha to create a healthy, probiotic-rich summer treat that can help keep you cool and nourished on a hot day. Have fun with this recipe – switch in Orange Energy for a boost of vitality, or Reds Antioxidant mix for enhanced immune and liver health. Enjoy!
