There’s something about baking that feels grounding. Maybe it’s the scent of vanilla and berries dancing through the kitchen, or the warmth of something homemade on your plate, but when what you’re baking also supports your gut? That’s a whole other level of nourishment.
This isn’t just any strawberry cake. It’s a gut-loving upgrade wrapped in soft, fluffy layers. Made with fresh, juicy strawberries, wholesome flours, and ingredients your body actually welcomes, every bite feels like a treat. Imagine sinking your fork into a cloud-like slice that’s moist, tender, and bursting with bright, real strawberry flavor. It tastes like pure joy, but it’s secretly infused with spore-based probiotics from Just Thrive to support digestion, balance, and that light, energized feeling you crave after eating. One slice in, and you’ll know: Nourishing your gut can absolutely taste this good.
And no, you don’t have to be a professional baker to make it.
This one-tier beauty is the kind of recipe you’ll find yourself making again and again—when you need a little reset, when you’re craving something sweet but wholesome, or when you want to share something meaningful (and delicious) with the people you love.
Because Gut Health Should Taste This Good
Gut health isn’t just about digestion—it’s deeply tied to your energy, your mood, and even your immune system. When your gut feels off, everything feels a little off. But when you nourish it gently and consistently? That’s when the magic happens.
This cake includes a simple but powerful step: opening up 2 to 3 capsules of spore-based Just Thrive Probiotic and blending them right into the batter. No, you won’t taste it. But your gut? It’ll know.
It’s a way to make something joyful and functional. And if that’s not the kind of balance we’re all craving, I don’t know what is.
Why the Ingredients in This Strawberry Cake Hit Different
Let’s break it down because this recipe isn’t just pretty. It’s smart.
- Fresh strawberries – Rich in vitamin C, fiber, and natural sweetness. They give the cake that soft burst of berry flavor and a dose of antioxidants without added junk.
- Almond and cassava flour – This gluten-free combo gives you fluff without the bloat. Almond flour is protein-rich and nourishing, while cassava is light and easy on digestion.
- Coconut sugar – A lower glycemic alternative to traditional sugar that won’t spike your blood sugar the same way. Plus, it has a rich, caramel-like depth that plays so well with strawberries.
- Grass-fed butter – Full of healthy fats and vitamin K2, it gives the cake that luscious, melt-in-your-mouth texture while supporting brain and hormone health.
- Lemon zest – Not just for flavor! Lemon zest brings brightness and natural cleansing properties that awaken your taste buds and give the cake a fresh, vibrant feel.
- Spore-based Just Thrive Probiotic – They survive stomach acid and make it all the way to your gut, where they can do their job. Unlike many probiotics that get destroyed before they arrive, these are built to thrive. (See what we did there?)
