Hormone-Balancing Flaxseed Smoothie

Easy to make with plenty of nutrients

This peri-menopause-friendly smoothie recipe is easy to make and provides healthy nutrients needed during this time in life. It includes:

• Flaxseed, which contains phytoestrogens (lignans) that may help with hormone fluctuations and hot flashes.

• Healthy fats + protein, to help keep blood sugar stable, support mood, and reduce energy crashes.

• Magnesium-rich spinach and almond butter for sleep, relaxation, and stress regulation.

• Antioxidants found in blueberries can help protect against oxidative stress, which can increase during hormonal fluctuations.
