Formula for a hormone balancing smoothie
🫐🍓🫐

With summer coming, smoothies become a staple for many of us! They’re such an easy way to pack in nutrients to your day 🙈

The most common mistake I see with smoothies, is when they’re loaded with fruit, fruit & more fruit. This can be a recipe for disaster when it comes to our blood sugar levels & energy levels.

When making a smoothie it’s important to think of balancing it out as you would a main meal with a source of healthy fats, complex carbs & protein.
