Smoothie Moves

Improve your mood almost instantly – just reach for your blender.

YOU WANT TO: BOOST YOUR LIBIDO
Try this…
Blend a glass of soya milk with one heaped tablespoon of pumpkin seeds, a tablespoon of cocoa powder and a drizzle of honey.
Because…
Soya can even out your monthly hormone peaks and troughs, and increase your sex drive. Seeds are packed with healthy fats that boost energy and balance your sex hormones. Cocoa gives an all-round erotic charge.

YOU WANT TO: BE THE OFFICE STAR
Try this…
Mix two tablespoons of natural yoghurt, half a banana, two tablespoons of blackcurrants, a heaped tablespoon of linseeds and a dash of apple juice.
Because…
Linseeds contain omega-3 fatty acids, which encourage healthy brain functioning. Yoghurt and bananas keep you energetic and help your body produce serotonin (so you can be the office charmer), while blackcurrants contain antioxidants that protect your brain from toxins.

YOU WANT TO: SOOTHE STRESS
Try this…
Whizz together two tablespoons of natural yoghurt, a tablespoon of oats, a tablespoon of sesame seeds, half a banana, a tablespoon of honey and a glug of apple juice.
Because…
The tryptophan in yoghurt will help your body produce serotonin, the happy hormone. Oats have been used for centuries to calm anxiety, honey provides a tasty energy lift, and sesame seeds sort out your stress responses.
