Ingredient Spotlight!

~ Ashwagandha~

One of the main ingredients for this recipe is Ashwagandha.  Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) is an Ayurvedic herb that works as an adaptogen to the body.  It is usually used as a medicine to help to increase energy, reduce inflammation and help with pain, anxiety, and stress.

Research has also shown that it may help with cognitive functioning, including one’s memory.  As such, it is one of those herbs that is usually sought after for the brain and overall health.

Adding Ashwagandha to your smoothie can help to give it that additional health boost, particularly as it relates to the brain.

To good health!
