Lemon Mint Soup for Gut Health and Bloating – Does It Work?
Bloating can sneak up on you—after a heavy meal, during stress, or even just from the wrong combination of foods. That’s where the humble lemon mint soup might surprise you. A warm bowl of this zesty, refreshing soup could be more than just comfort food—it might just be your gut’s new best friend.
At Outlive, we developed our low-calorie lemon mint soup as part of a fasting-friendly program, but its benefits go far beyond intermittent fasting. Let’s break it down.

Why Lemon and Mint?
Lemon contains citric acid and flavonoids that stimulate digestive enzymes, supporting better breakdown of food and reducing indigestion. It’s also naturally alkalizing, which helps balance stomach acidity—often the hidden culprit behind bloating.
Mint, on the other hand, is a known carminative. It helps relieve gas and soothes the muscles of the digestive tract, making it ideal for post-meal discomfort or bloating.
Together, they make for a deliciously light gut health food that doubles up as a weight-loss-friendly soup.
The Outlive Take: Beyond the Ingredients
Our healthy lemon mint soup is designed with:
-
Under 120 calories per serving
-
A base rich in plant fibres and prebiotics
-
No added preservatives, emulsifiers or sugars
-
Balanced sodium to support fasting and hydration
It’s part of our soup kit that supports gut reset and fat-burning during fasts. But you don’t need to be fasting to enjoy it—it’s a great addition to your healthy diet plan or a light dinner after a long day.
Does It Really Help With Bloating?
In short, yes. Customers using the soup as part of our 5-day fasting program often report reduced bloating, better digestion, and fewer sugar cravings. That’s partly because the body gets a break from heavy meals and ultra-processed foods, and partly because ingredients like lemon, mint, and inulin (a natural prebiotic fibre) actively support the gut microbiome.
How to Use It
You can have the lemon mint soup:
-
During intermittent fasting as a low-calorie option
-
As a meal replacement when you’re feeling bloated
-
As part of your weekly gut reset routine
You’ll stay full for 3–4 hours without the food coma. No fancy prep needed—just hot water and 3 minutes.
