Fall is in full swing! Pumpkin and pumpkin spice is in everything!

I love pumpkins because they are an excellent food for women with hormonal imbalances.
Today I’m sharing one of my fall favorite smoothie recipe which supports hormonal balance.

The smoothie contains PFF (protein, fat, and fiber). This kind of meal (either breakfast or snack) is design to help stabilize sugar levels, as well as boost your energy and help you with focus. When you eat balanced meals, you are not going to have many cravings throughout a day.

You are getting a great amount of protein from hemp seeds and nuts, healthy fat from coconut, pumpkin seed oil, and nuts. Pumpkin seed oil contains phytoestrogens which modify estrogen levels in the body and Omega’s 3 fatty acids.

The smoothie is loaded with fiber from pumpkin, nuts, and fruits. Fiber is necessary for helping your bowels to be regular and ensures toxin and hormone elimination.

Hemp seeds and flax seeds provide Omega’s 3 fatty acids, flax seed help modulate estrogen, milk thistle support your liver function by eliminating metabolized hormones. Lemon juice and lemon zest aids detoxification as well.

Pumpkin also contains tryptophan, the amino acid that helps your body make serotonin (the calming & feel good neurotransmitter).

Pumpkin seeds are a great source of zinc. Zinc is an essential nutrient for fertility, the immune system, hair loss, and fatigue.

As you can see All the ingredients in the smoothie, provide a perfect combination of medicinal food for hormones.
