Berry Smoothie 

What could be simpler than a Berry Smoothie!

A smoothie full of beneficial phytonutrients, natural fibre, probiotics and prebiotics. All anti inflammatory and good for your gut microbiota, especially during the menopause transition, when gut balance can become disrupted.
If you'd like to know more about this why not join me at my workshop - all about the best foods for Perimenopause and Menopause - details here.

Have a look at the video of me making the smoothie on my YouTube channel here. 

1 handful mixed berries, fresh or frozen (use only blueberries if wanting low histamine)
1 teaspoon fresh grated ginger or ½ teaspoon natural dried ginger powder
1 small handful nuts (use only macadamias/1-2 brazil nuts if wanting low histamine)
½ an apple (optional, don't use if you have IBS)
1 teaspoon psyllium husk powder (this is a natural unflavoured prebiotic powder that is low FODMAP and low histamine, so tolerated by those with IBS and histamine issues)
2 tablespoons natural unsweetened yoghurt or kefir (do not use if wanting low histamine)
Liquid: Water or dairy milk or calcium-fortified plant milk - add an amount to get the consistency you like, I usually add about ½ cup
Optional - add ¼ cup whole rolled oats.  

Place all the ingredients into a blender, and blend until smooth.
Add extra water/milk if you would like your smoothie less thick.
Drink straight away.
