Every morning, I make up a smoothie for breakfast, so I often make the assumption that everyone has a favorite smoothie recipe up their sleeve. And you know what they say about assumptions!
To avoid being that proverbial, er, assumer, here are two fantastic smoothie recipes, each designed for your particular hormone type.
Women With Excess Estrogen Levels
This recipe is great for women with estrogen dominance, as well as those who are in premenopause or early menopause. Not only will it help to reduce estrogen levels, but it can also promote healthy weight loss by increasing fiber!
