Drink THESE 3 Drinks to Balance Hormones
Drink THESE 3 Drinks to Balance Hormones & Increase Energy
In today’s blog post, I'm thrilled to share with you three transformative smoothie recipes designed to harmonize your hormones and elevate your energy levels. As a functional and holistic nutritionist, my mission is to make healthy living both accessible and enjoyable, directly from my kitchen to yours. Let’s dive into how these smoothies can become a part of your wellness journey.
The Zesty Detox Power Smoothie: This vibrant concoction is a powerhouse of nutrients aimed at supporting your endocrine system. Using romaine lettuce as its base—rich in folate and hydration— it’s designed to stabilize blood sugar levels and reduce inflammation. The inclusion of jalapeños (or ginger for a less spicy variant) adds a unique warmth, making it an invigorating choice for starting your day or for an afternoon energy boost. The frothiness, reminiscent of a latte, adds a delightful texture, enhancing the overall drinking experience.
Zesty Detox Power Smoothie
1 cup romaine lettuce, chopped
1-2 stalks celery, chopped
Juice of 1 lemon
1 apple
1/4 to 1/2 jalapeño, seeds removed (adjust according to your heat preference)
1 cup coconut water
Ice cubes (optional for a colder smoothie)
The Grapefruit Glow Smoothie: A creamy, citrus-infused smoothie that’s as nourishing as it is refreshing. Grapefruit and spinach provide a hefty dose of vitamin C, iron, and magnesium, crucial for hormonal balance and iron absorption. The addition of parsley enhances detoxification, while avocado and ground flax seeds introduce healthy fats and omega-3s, making it a perfect blend for supporting hormone health, especially for women.

1 cup spinach
1/2 cup fresh parsley
1/4 avocado
1/2 cup coconut water
1/2 cup grapefruit juice
1 tbsp ground flaxseeds
1/2 banana, frozen (optional )
The Apricot Strawberry Smoothie: This recipe is a testament to the convenience and nutritional potential of freezer staples. Utilizing frozen produce like rice cauliflower, pineapple, and strawberries, along with dried apricots and ground flax seeds, it’s a quick, dessert-like smoothie that doesn’t skimp on nutrient density. Ideal for those busy days or when fresh produce is scarce, it supports detoxification and provides a satisfying, fibrous blend to aid in digestive health.

In collaboration with Happy Mammoth, I also explored the significance of supporting our body’s natural detoxification processes through dietary choices and supplementation. Happy Mammoth’s EstraControl has been an impressive addition to my routine, offering a three-phase approach to estrogen balance and liver health, which complements the nutritional benefits of these smoothies beautifully. Give EstroControl a try and use the code “JESSICA10” to save. https://bit.ly/3SAq1Gp
