Need a simple, easy, and quick meal or snack? Smoothies are your best friend!

Smoothies are a great way to get a variety of vitamins and minerals into your diet because they contain nutrient-dense foods with high digestibility scores. Additionally, adaptogens can be easily added to any smoothie recipe with ease. 

Vitamins and minerals are essential for optimal health and play an important role in bodily functions. Regarding stress specifically, magnesium is great for helping the mind and body relax. Foods high in magnesium would be for example cocoa nibs. B vitamins, found in dark leafy greens such as spinach and kale are great for providing your body with energy. 

Furthermore, consuming these high nutrient-dense foods in a smoothie enables your body to digest these foods easier which decreases the load on your gut and increases absorption levels. The easier it is for your body to digest and absorb food, the better your hormones and gut health will be. We know that there is a direct link between stress and gut health and hormones, so if we can create a healthier environment for our gut to increase the health of our hormones, we can lower our stress levels. 

By adding in adaptogens to nutrient-dense, easily digestible smoothies, we can further help our stress hormones stabilize. 

Depending on if you need a meal replacement or a snack, smoothies are a great addition to your weekly meal plan. This smoothie collection contains a variety of both meal replacement smoothies as well as snack-sized shakes to keep you satisfied and energized on those busy days.
