6 Ingredient (Anxiety Busting) Protein Smoothie

Every now and then I run across a recipe that must be shared. I found this delicious and nutritious treat by way of Nutritional Psychiatrist, Uma Naidoo, M.D.  The primary focus of her practice is to assist with the mental well-wellbeing of her patients by way of nutrient dense foods…

With nutrient dense food, a little goes a long way and is often packed with essentials that the body needs to operate more fully and to feel more well rounded in all areas of life. 

“This smoothie has a balance of low-glycemic index carbohydrates, healthy fats, fiber, and protein, this chocolate and cherry protein smoothie makes for an excellent on-the-go breakfast that will keep you full, focused, and calm throughout your morning.” As she describes the recipe. 

Enjoy!
