Smoothies for Menopause

Mental Disease often Includes Symptoms such as Mood Swings

That’s not to say that you have mental disease when you are going through menopause! However, it’s only to state that mood swings are brought on by low blood sugar. Thus, if you want to avoid them, increase your protein level in your smoothies. This is easily done by adding protein powder, yogurt, milk, or egg to the smoothies. The amount of recommended protein is 21 grams or greater.

Adding protein might create a smoothie like this:

Ingredient List #3

• 2/3 cup yogurt (about 11 grams protein)
• 1 egg (about 6 grams protein)
• 1 scoop protein powder (about 7 grams protein)
• 1 cup of your favorite berries
• 1 leaf kale or Swiss chard or 3 dandelion leaves
• 1/2 handful almonds or walnuts
• 1-ounce chocolate preferably dark
• 2 handfuls spinach
• 1 teaspoon nutritional yeast

Ingredient List #4

• 3 scoops protein powder (21 to 28 grams protein)
• ½ cup blueberries
• ¼ avocado
• 1 teaspoon chia seeds (2 grams protein)

Try either one of these smoothies for menopause to decrease your menopausal hot flashes or temper your moodiness and see what happens. Remember that consistency is the answer, and results improve with time. Let us know how it goes!
