Mar 09 , 2021
Smoothies are the most effective way to get lots of beneficial nutrients into the body quickly and easily. When feeling anxious, stressed, or even depressed, nutrition can have a significant positive impact on mental wellbeing. Not to mention a lot of the time, mental wellbeing issues are caused by nutritional deficiencies, so by mixing in lots of different healthy ingredients, you can make sure that you’re meeting your dietary needs.
When making a smoothy for calming anxiety, it’s vital to get in ingredients full of Magnesium. Getting lots of Magnesium in your diet can have a positive effect on your mental and emotional state and magnesium deficiency is one of the leading causes of anxiety.

When it comes to ingredients that can help lift your mood, you need foods that contain lots of tryptophan, a precursor to Serotonin, AKA the neurotransmitter responsible for boosting your mood. As well as tryptophan, you also want to include fruits that contain plenty of VItamin B, especially those that contain Folate. These are vitally important for helping you produce the neurotransmitters responsible for improving your mood. By adding a sprinkle of Cinnamon you can also help balance out your blood sugar levels. With the addition of pineapple, you also lower inflammation levels, which can have a hugely positive effect on improving your mood.
Directions: Blend again and sip away!
Enhances top tip (or ingredient we should say.)
Try adding Greek Yogurt to your smoothie. Greek Yogurt is a beautiful food for looking after your gut health. Your gut health plays a much more significant role in influencing your mental wellbeing than you may realise, with 90% of Serotonin being produced in the gut and the gut health influencing the function of the vagus nerve, which, when functioning efficiently can also lead to better mental wellbeing.
