I typically fast for 16-18hrs during my menstruation & follicular phases, making this blend, my favorite breakfast smoothie. This blueberry-based mix is low sugar keeping your glucose down, high-fat to support estrogen production and brain function, and rich in greens to sooth your liver and gut. These two organs are essential for detoxification of harmful estrogens. It's also loaded with hormone-balancing boosters like Maca root & Amla, which is known to reduce discomfort related to hormone levels in women who are menopausal, uplift libido, support fertility and stimulate healthy estrogen production. Enjoy! x
