Reviewing Zoe gut shots - Dominique Ludwig Nutrition

Gut shots are now a thing. But let’s do a deep dive behind the label and see what we actually buying for £2 a pop.
M&S has teamed up with Zoe to make a gut shot that we can grab and go. But what’s actually in it?
ZOE gut shot is a mixture of kefir, fruit purée concentrate, and chicory root fibre (inulin). Altogether this little shot costs £2, contains 60 cal, 5.5 g of sugar, 2.2g of fibre. and contain 14 strains of live bacteria. It is also 150ml.
It tastes like a fruity yoghurt, because it contains banana, strawberry, apple, blueberry purée. I would’ve chosen lower sugar fruits myself, and find it a bit sweet and very expensive.
What you’re really paying for is the kefir. 1 litre of @biotiful_gut_health KEFIR at @ocadouk actually costs £3 or 45p per 150ml.
COST: Zoe £2 vs Kefir 45p per 150ml.
CULTURES: Zoe has 14 different bacterial strains.
Biotiful kefir has 40 live strains, according to manufacturers website.
FIBRE: Zoe contains 2.2 g of fibre. Kefir does not contain fibre. You could add some inulin if you wanted.
Worth the money? In my opinion, if you’re looking for something quick and easy it’s a benefi product, but if you have one every day it will cost you £14 a week!
I would rather make my own, but if you just want a quick gut shot, eat kefir!
Turmeric- Ginger Gut Shot
Method
1. Juice 50g turmeric root with 200g ginger root in a juicer (not blender). The juice will last for a week’s worth of shots. Keep in the fridge in a jam jar.
2. Add some freshly milled black pepper. The pipirine in pepper increases the absorption and bioavailability of the curcumonoids by up to 2000%

Both ginger and turmeric contain compounds that are highly anti-inflammatory. This makes this drink an anti-inflammatory shot, rather than a fruity children’s shot (like Zoe).
3. Add 150 mils of kefir to a glass with around 2 tablespoons of the juice.
Just for the record, this is not a sweet, delicious, sugary treat. This is a shot. And a shot is just that, something you consume quickly, in this case for the benefit of your health. I just know it’s doing me some good and I’m happy to have it in my gut.
