Mellow Mind Smoothie

Stress can have several negative effects on the body. Every one of us absorbs stress in different ways: some people get stomachaches, others headaches. Regardless of the symptoms, we can all agree that what happens in the brain affects the body. It is hard sometimes to quiet the mind and let go, but food can help. That’s why we created a smoothie for the mind, to reduce stress and improve your mood.

Pineapple, strawberry, and banana have the ability to boost mental health in different ways. Pineapple regulates the production of serotonin, the happy hormone, and banana can help to boost your mood. In addition, strawberries contain vitamin C, which can also lower stress levels. MCT oil is a form of saturated fatty acids that offer several benefits, including the ability to improve mood and boost mental health. Coconut milk adds extra creaminess to this delicious Mellow Mind Smoothie.
