Pompeii, Italy There are many scary stories in history, but the story of Pompeii is one that we just can’t get over. This is the city that was built in the fertile valley near a volcano, Mt. Vesuvius. When it erupted, it caught people by surprise and buried the city in soot and ash and left it covered and perfectly preserved for hundreds of years.

I just love the fact that you get so much product in one bag I mean look how big this bag is now if you’ve ever ordered super food powders on Amazon which I have many times before you know that you usually get about half this size or even a third of this size for the same exact price so I just love the fact that you know super well they’re not greedy they give you a high quality product for a very affordable cost and that’s why I love using them so much and why I recommend it to my clients okay yall let’s get started making these hormone balancing smoothies the first one I’m going to share is my ultimate hormone balancing smoothie and in this one were going to be using the ashwagandha powder and the maca powder were gonna start by adding one cup of unsweetened almond milk half of a frozen banana 1/4 of an avocado one handful of kale one celery stalk two tablespoons of ground chia seeds one tablespoon of fresh lemon juice 1 teaspoon of ashwagandha powder and 1 teaspoon of maca powder ashwagandha is one of the best adaptogenic herbs when it comes to reducing stress and anxiety in the body it even helps to improve your overall energy levels you know a lot of my clients they see their energy levels go up when they start to include ashwagandha into their daily diet ashwagandha can be great for improving your sleep improving your mood and it’s just great for overall support of your adrenal and your thyroid gland and by the way if you’ve never heard of adaptogenic herbs they basically have to promote balance in the body so they adapt to whatever your body needs they had this ability to regulate your system up or down depending on what your body needs in that moment and ashwagandha is a true superstar when it comes to managing stress and in fact it can actually have to reduce cortisol which is a hormone that your body produces when it’s under stress now in the short term that’s not necessarily a bad thing when you need to escape from danger right but the problem is that nowadays we are chronically stressed and if your cortisol levels are chronically elevated this can actually lead to belly fats low energy levels brain fog and it can even start to wear down your adrenals and your thyroid and personally I believe that one of the reasons why people struggle so much with low energy levels you know they need caffeine to wake them up and to get them going keep them going in the afternoon is because they live chronically stressed lives and over time that can wear down your adrenal glands which eventually can affect your thyroid you know it’s really just a domino effect so.
Supporting those adrenal glands and your overall endocrine system can make the biggest difference in how you feel your energy levels your overall sense of well-being and that’s why I love ashwagandha so much because it really helps your body to be more resilient towards stress and anxiety and it can really help to support those adrenal glands okay so my next hormone balancing smoothie is for all my chocolate lovers out there and it is my chocolate dreams energy smoothie so in this one were going to be using the maca powder and the cacao powder were gonna start by adding in one cup of unsweetened almond milk one handful of spinach half of a frozen banana 1/4 of an avocado one tablespoon of hemp seeds one tablespoon of almond butter 1 tablespoon of cacao powder and 1 teaspoon of maca powder now maca powder is another adaptogenic herb that’s really good for balancing your hormones in fact it has a lot of similar benefits to ashwagandha it can help to increase your energy levels it can help to reduce stress a little bit but it’s also great for reducing PMS symptoms it can help to regulate your monthly cycle and it’s great for those of you that are transitioning off of birth control it helps to lessen a lot of those negative side effects maca can also be good for those of you going through menopause in fact some studies actually suggest that maca can help to reduce hot flashes and night sweats now if you’re experiencing adult acne then maca can also be helpful with that in some cases but you know overall maca is not only great as an adaptogen and herb and balancing your hormones but it’s also a great source of vitamins and minerals such as zinc selenium calcium and potassium and personally.
I have found that when I us ashwagandha and maca together it gives this sort of the synergistic effect it helps to increase its effectiveness it seems but I will say that if this is your first time using a definite herbs then use them separately first just to see how your body reacts to them and then if it reacts positively then try using them together and of course I also use cacao powder in this smoothie no cacao is a great source of magnesium and I always tell my female clients you know if you’re craving chocolate that time of the month it could be your body telling you that it needs magnesium so definitely use cacao powder put it in your smoothies you can bake with it I like to make fat bombs with it but yeah reach for that instead of reaching for that processed milk chocolate that’s full of sugars and additives and all sorts of nasty ingredients cacao powder is definitely a staple in my house and I use it all the time alright and my last hormone balancing smoothie is my balancing berrylicious smoothie so were going to start by adding one cup of unsweetened almond milk to the blender two handfuls of spinach half a cup of frozen strawberries half a cup of frozen raspberries one tea spoon of ashwagandha powder two tablespoons of ground chia seeds and one tablespoon of flax oil blend that up and its ready to go and by the way all of these smoothie recipes are pretty flexible so you know feel free to play around with the super food powders to find your favorite combination of flavors okay yall those are my 3 hormone balancing smoothie recipes and it is nail time for the details on how you can win a free bag of the super well super food powders all you have to do to win is like this.
