It’s the holiday season and I am SO excited for all things Christmas!
Christmas movies, Christmas music, and of course Christmas FOOD!
Personally, I live for a Friday night at home, curled up on the couch with a plate of holiday treats and a classic Christmas flick!
I could literally do that every... single... night. 😊
But here’s the thing:
When I indulge in some delicious, holiday goodies, they typically wreak all sorts of havoc on my gut.
Between the sugar and processed ingredients, my body can take a big time hit.. Bloating, gas and intense intestinal cramps are just a few of the less-than-festive side effects that occur when my holiday treats catch up with me.
So what’s a Christmas food aficionado like myself to do? Stop eating my holiday treats? As if! (cue my resting Grinch face)
This year, I decided that instead of skipping out on my favorite seasonal sweets, I would
create a recipe that could not only spoil my taste buds, but also be fortified with a gut healthy twist!
In rolls my Gut Healthy Gingerbread Cinnamon Rolls with Just Thrive Probiotic “Cream Cheese” Frosting!
I created this recipe to yield 10-12 gigantic, fluffy cinnamon rolls that the entire family will enjoy. I threw in some molasses, nutmeg and cinnamon to give this confection the perfect kiss of holiday spice.
And, I made the most of my go-to gut health product – Just Thrive Probiotic – so that I could give my digestive tract some much needed support during the sweet treat season.
Why Put Probiotics Into This Recipe?
I’m sure some of you are asking, “what’s so special about probiotics anyways? Can’t I just drink a bunch of water and eat some lettuce and feel better?”
I’m all for veggies and hydration, but what’s great about Just Thrive Probiotic is that it’s been proven to support a healthy gut by driving bacterial balance in your microbiome.
Probiotics are living organisms that provide our guts with healthy bacteria. There are certainly foods that contain natural probiotics, but by ingesting Just Thrive Probiotic daily, you can guarantee that you are fortifying your gut with the beneficial bacteria it needs.
And a healthy gut is the key that unlocks the kingdom to feeling our best.
Some of the benefits of good gut health are:
- Optimal immune function
- Improved digestion
- Easier weight management
- Clearer skin
- Better sleep
- Brighter moods
These are all great gifts to give yourself this holiday season.
AND, because Just Thrive Probiotic is so resilient, you can bake these benefits into your holiday treats!
Not only will these gut-healthy cinnamon rolls sleigh your Christmas morning breakfast table (get it *wink*), they'll also help your gut feel great!
And great gut health is truly a treat that keeps on giving.
So give these ultra fluffy gingerbread cinnamon rolls a try... And make sure to add Just Thrive Probiotic or yule be sorry...
(okay I’m done now, bye)!
Merry Christmas & happy holiday baking friends,
