The timing for the idea of this post was coincidental to me. I myself suffer from a disruptive digestive system, and I am sure I cannot be the only one in the world. Naturally, I am always on the lookout for recipes that help calm down my system, and that are also delicious to eat. Seriously, I need my food to taste good. It is not just an option to me, it is a requirement.
So here are 8 recipes I looked up that are not only appetizing, but also easy to make and helps keep the digestive system healthy.

This Superfood Smoothie contains pineapple, papaya, coconut oil, cabbage and ginger. Papaya is known to be helpful to unruly digestive system, and pineapples contain enzymes that increase protein digestion. If you are worried about the taste, you can use less cabbage in this recipe.

2. Flavored Water

Water is one of the best sources of health out there. Regularly having approximately 6-8 glasses of water will not only make your digestive system better, it also allows for better skin and regulates bowel movements to make you healthier. Water also tastes, well, for lack of a better word, bland. So here is a recipe on the various food items you can use to detox your water to improve your digestion, as well as add some flavor to it. For example, add apple slices and cinnamon into a pitcher of water and let it chill in the refrigerator for a couple of hours to get the Apple Cinnamon Detox Water! Ta-da! Flavored water, at your fingertips. I feel awesome already.

3. Paleo Zucchini Bread

Try this recipe for a healthy breakfast that is also nurturing for digestion. Use 1 cup grated zucchini, 1 ripe banana (mashed), ground flaxseeds, pitted dates to make this healthy paleo zucchini bread recipe. Flaxseeds have a mildly laxative effect which regularizes the bowel movement. It’s best to use it as ground flaxseeds or flax oil.

4. Banana Smoothie

Peanut butter plus bananas plus oats equals delicious and healthy breakfast that your digestive system will also love. Need I say more? I can’t wait to try it out. All you have to do is mix oats, almond milk and chia seeds and freeze it overnight. Chia seeds are a good source of soluble fiber and magnesium, and they promote muscle contractions and bowel movement regularity. It is best to eat chia seeds after soaking them properly to get rid of the antinutrients.
In the morning, add yogurt, peanut butter, bananas and (if desired, chocolate chip cookies), and you have a healthy and tasty breakfast ready for you in minutes.

5. Bone Broths

The health benefits of bone broths are numerous. It is known to heal leaky guts, detox livers, fight infections and most importantly, help with the digestive system. I found a delicious bone broth recipe that uses either beef or chicken bones, as well as vegetables added in the mix, if you wish to add flavor. The broth can be used as soup bases or frozen for later use.

6. Kale and Roasted Vegetable Soup

Too much raw kale can actually cause some harm to the body, but there is nothing against the cooked variation. A hearty soup with kale, carrots, tomatoes and squash can not only be light and filling, but also help your body and keep it in a naturalize state. Just roast the vegetables for 45 minutes, puree the tomatoes with roasted garlic and onions, add it to the soup base and you will have a delicious meal in front of you in no time. Go through the recipe for the details.

If you are like me and feel unable to cut off meat completely, try using lean meat instead to help keep a healthy digestive system. This chicken recipe is really appealing and also allows for healthy digestion. Use boneless and skinless chicken breasts for this one to keep the meat lean and your digestive system happy.
