Dreamy Chocolate Ashwagandha Smoothie

by on

Ashwaganda, an adaptogenic herb, has been touted as the magical stress relief supplement that provides a calming effect but also improves the quality of sleep and increase energy levels. So when I came across this smoothie recipe on Dr. Junger’s Clean Program, I had to give it a try. Anything that has “dreamy” and “chocolatey” in the title will catch my attention and this smoothie is exactly that! Ashwagandha powder does have a slight bitterness to it but blended with almond butter and dates along with avocado, this smoothie is a great fix when you’re having cravings or to break your fast. Give it a try – Enjoy!

Post-Workout Smoothie With Moringa

by on

Moringa leaves are super rich in antioxidants and bioactive plant compounds that help with inflammation helping to speed up recovery. Loaded with protein, iron, and significant amounts of vitamins A, C, and E, calcium, and potassium, it serves as a nutrient dense superfood. Its mild flavor makes it perfect for blending into smoothies. I take it up a notch by adding protein powder, almond butter, avocado and spinach for an extra boost of nutrients right after my workouts! Enjoy!
