Stress Less Smoothie Recipe

//  by Larissa Galenes

Wondering why this green smoothie is called “Stress Less”?  Not sure how drinking a delicious smoothie may help you to chill?  Let’s take a look:

Potassium in bananas and avocados helps to reduce blood pressure.

Soybeans and dark leafy greens such as spinach, kale, and chard contain magnesium, which can help to combat headaches & fatigue (which can either be direct result of stress, or can make stress worse).

The Omega-3 fatty acid contained in flax seeds can actually help to keep stress hormone levels low.

Healthy doses of Vitamin C will keep your immune system strong and allow you to cope better with stress.  This smoothies packs a Vitamin C punch with dark leafy greens and strawberries.
