Go and Glow Super Smoothie
Go and Glow Smoothie
This super smoothie has protein, antioxidants, adaptogens for stamina and hormone- & adrenal balancing and fiber. Great for the brain, gut, adrenals, skin, hair, EVERYTHING!
Other benefits include maximum nutrient absorption (in smoothie form) and super alkaline pH (promotes muscle use/growth/repair).
In a blender, combine:
- 4oz of organic edamame.
- 100g blackberries.
- 1-2 packets of unsweetened açai frozen.
- 20-30g organic gelatinized maca powder.
Key Players in this Super Smoothie:
4oz provides ~14-21g of complete protein (complete amino acid profile), 8g healthy fat, 14g carbs, great fiber (!). Soy is estrogenic so when consumed in its natural form (e.g., with the fiber), it helps regulate hormones (the fiber absorbs extra estrogen in the gut like a sponge & you 💩 it out!). Estrogen is also AMAZING for brain growth/development AND recovery for athletes!!
105g provides great antioxidants (protects against Alzheimer’s! Promotes brain health, glowing skin/hair/nails, great fiber! Helps the gut! Extra bonus Manganese! Solid glycemic index profile [no sugar crashes]).
Amazing healthy fats! 2 packs of unsweetened açaí have 10g of fat. Long endurance sustained energy. Great antioxidants & glycemic profile (similar to blackberries - - not sugar crashes).
One of my favorite superfoods! Adaptogenic. Works with the adrenals to heal and strengthen. Provides stamina and endurance. Helps heal from adrenal fatigue. Great even energy. Bonus lysine amino acid profile. Great protein & carbs. Gelatinized (starch removed) makes it more easily digestible for maximum nutrient absorption. Bonus butterscotch flavor- my favorite natural sweetener!
