A tasty way to cure the blues
Here’s a recipe for a tasty chocolate smoothie that combats depression. The ingredients in this concoction are selected for their antidepressant qualities and for their ability to work together in this mixture. Here’s what you’ll need:
- 1 capsule of dry St. Johns wort (anti-anxiety, mood enhancer, antiviral, antibacterial)
- 1 capsule of Unha de Gato (Cat’s Claw) (circulation enhancer, blood purifier, immune system enhancer)
- 1 capsule of powdered DHEA (mood control through brain cell membranes)
- 1 tsp glutamine powder (stimulates metabolism, growth hormone and protein assimilation)
- 1 tsp powdered cinnamon (circulation stimulator)
- 1/8 cup pure, unsweetened chocolate or cocoa (antioxidants, endorphin stimulation, circulation regulator)
- 1/8 cup chopped mint leaves or 20 drops of mint essential oil (antispasmotic and anti-anxiety)
- 1/8 cup chilled flaxseed oil (omega-3 fatty acids)
- 1/4 cup walnuts (tannins, antioxidants, omega-3 fatty acids)
- 2 cups crushed ice
- honey or sugar to taste
Mix all ingredients in a blender (emptying the powder from the supplement capsules into the blender) and liquefy until fully mixed and smooth. Drink immediately.
