Description
5-HTP is the intermediate precursor in the natural synthesis of serotonin, a neurotransmitter that helps to regulate mood, appetite, and sleep/wake cycles. 5-HTP readily crosses the blood-brain barrier and clinical studies suggest that 5-HTP can support healthy serotonin levels. Glycine is known to bind to the NMDA receptor, where it exerts inhibitory and neuroprotective effects. In addition, Glycine has been shown to support memory and cognition in scientific studies. This formula is further enhanced with Taurine and Inositol.

![A smoothie won’t hold you until your next meal?
.
.
Smoothies have been the rage for years now, as they make a very convenient on-the-go meal or snack. However, they never worked for me until 2018.
.
This is when I finally landed on a smoothie template that works for me, and I am addicted to having one per day as a breakfast.
.
But…
Let me get the “buts” out of the way right now. 🙃
.
🤔But smoothies are cold and raw
Cold and raw can be hard for some people to digest, but the reality is that a certain amount of raw food in one’s diet is super healthy, as raw plant foods contain loads of enzymes and phytonutrients.
.
🤔But the ingredients in smoothies are processed
Every person I know who follows ancestral or Paleo guidelines uses processed foods – even olive oil for example, is a processed food. A smoothie can be made with real food ingredients.
🤔But you need to chew your food instead of drink
When you drink your food, you can actually chew it a bit. The point of this is to get some salivary action into the food. Saliva is rich with amylase which breaks down carbohydrates.
🤔But smoothies are so sweet and high carb
I make low-carb and keto smoothies daily and I’ll teach you how! Plus with added fiber they feed your good gut bacteria, fill you up, and lower your blood sugar and bad cholesterol!
Now...
The recipe! 🍽
[Save this post for the recipe!]
This smoothie can give you the right amount of calories and macronutrient balance.
👩🍳Pour 1 cup of unsweetened milk of your choice into a high-powered blender.
👩🍳Add 1 cup fresh or frozen berries (blueberry, strawberry, or a mix)
👩🍳Toss in 2 scoops of collagen peptides for protein. I HIGHLY recommend @primalkitchen chocolate or vanilla
👩🍳Add a scoop of #fiber for your #microbiome and #bloodsugar and #cholesterol
👩🍳Add 1-2 servings of fat (avocado, coconut oil or cream, MCT oil, or nut butter)
👩🍳Optional: add a bit of greens: romaine or spinach leaves, celery, fresh green herbs like cilantro, parsley, mint….or anything you like!
👩🍳Blend well and enjoy! It takes me under 5 minutes to make this breakfast and it keeps me for 4-6 hours.
