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!
