This smoothie is my go-to recommendation for patients who struggle with constipation. Avoiding constipation is really important for prolapse management because straining puts extra pressure on your pelvic floor and can worsen symptoms. This recipe is packed with protein and fiber to keep you full and keep things moving. I drink this nearly every day for breakfast. The combination of protein powder, collagen, chia seeds, flax seed meal, and fruit gives you everything you need to support healthy bowel movements without having to strain. You can customize it based on what you have on hand or your dietary preferences. If you need extra fat or calories for breastfeeding, you can swap almond milk for whole milk or add nut butter. I like my fruit frozen, but fresh works too. The key is getting enough fiber and staying hydrated throughout the day to maintain regular, comfortable bowel movements.
