RECIPE: Hormone Balancing Smoothie

What are the 3 MAIN NUTRIENTS we should focus on when BALANCING HORMONES? 

🌿Protein
🥑Healthy fats
🥦Cruciferous vegetables

Protein contains the building blocks necessary to make hormones but consuming enough amino acids are also crucial for keeping blood sugar in check. FYI: blood sugar imbalances are often the root cause of hormonal imbalance.

Monounsaturated fat and omega-3: A lack of healthy fats will reduce the body’s production of estrogen and progesterone, which leads to problems for women of any age, including insomnia, heart palpitations, and night sweats.

Cruciferous vegetables: These veg contain DIM & I3C which are substances that support estrogen detoxification and thus hormonal balance which helps achieve optimal fertility and reduce oestrogen dominance, PMS and menopausal symptoms.

Why kale? Kale offers the best of both worlds as a leafy green AND a member of the cruciferous family of vegetables. So we’re getting loads of magnesium, which supports healthy levels of estrogen and testosterone as well as DIM & I3C.

Ingredients:

🌿Handful frozen courgette
🌿Handful celery stalks
