Beet Berry + Basil Avocado Layered Smoothie

September 14, 2019 by Tisha 3 Comments

Beet Berry + Basil Avocado Layered Smoothie | The Nourished Mind

It’s been a hot minute since I’ve been on here to share a recipe, but I swear I’m coming back strong! This Beet Berry + Basil Avocado Layered Smoothie is not only delicious, it’s incredibly pretty!

I had this vision in my head of a layered smoothie. Sure, it takes a little extra work, but I loved the idea of combining different flavours together, and creating a bit more of a ‘wow factor’ for the humans around me that I’m inevitably going to make drink this.

I’m a smoothie gal. It’s quick and easy, and during times when I just can’t seem to get in the kitchen and make myself a nourishing meal, it feels like I can cram a ton of nutrient-dense foods in a blender and call it a day. And I’m here for it.

If you want to get the pretty sideways pour that I’ve got going on, be sure to watch the video below to see how I did it (it’s very simple–I literally poured it on an angle!).

My favourite thing about this smoothie is that it will keep you full. It’s high in fibre (thanks avocado!), it’s loaded with veggies (hey beets and greens!), and has healthy fats from the coconut milk and avo! Want to really make it a power house breakfast? Add your favourite protein powder (mine is Vital Proteins Collagen peptides) to keep you satiated and keep energy levels up!

So beyond this Beet Berry + Basil Avocado Layered Smoothie, what have I been up to? Actually, a lot. I’ve been working with Impact Kitchen to help with their recipe development and new menu launch. Some things have already made it onto their menu (like their new Rise smoothie! Go check it out!).

I also just enrolled in some new courses–yay to forever being a student! I’m taking some high school chemistry and biology courses so I can apply for some other programs in the future, as well as a Pinterest marketing course. Somehow still working a full-time 9 to 5 job at the agency. (Wine has been a big help with all of this chaos. Just kidding. Mostly.) Oh, and as luck/love would have it, my close friend moved in with me, and now I have someone to chat with and hang out with all the time. To say that I’m happy, is a gross understatement.

It’s been interesting, actually. The first half of the year, my ambition and drive to do things was low. I think that’s fair: I was going through a lot of life changes, and my brain wanted peace and calm. I was craving friendships, and nights out. The second half of this year has been entirely different: I feel more myself. Loading up my plate with all my goals, trying to balance wanting to do absolutely everything with wanting to watch Netflix.

Dairy & hormones—friend or foe? There’s a lo Dairy & hormones—friend or foe? 

There’s a lot of mixed info out there, but here’s the truth:

❌ Dairy doesn’t *always* mess with hormones.

✅ Some people are sensitive to it, while others digest it just fine.

✅ Full-fat dairy (like yogurt) has probiotics, calcium & vitamin D—which can actually help PMS!

The key? Listen to your body. If dairy triggers symptoms like bloating or cramps, you might want to try temporarily cutting it out to see how you feel.

But if you’ve been told you need to cut out dairy for your hormone health, just know there’s a lot of benefits to incorporating it into your diet! #hormonehealth #integrativenutrition #periodproblems
✨ Can diet help with endometriosis? ✨ Endomet ✨ Can diet help with endometriosis? ✨

Endometriosis affects about 10% of women and people assigned female at birth worldwide, and is one of the most common causes of pelvic pain for women of reproductive age.

While we still need more research in this area, some foods might be helpful in lowering inflammation, getting rid of extra estrogen and avoiding the triggers that make endometriosis symptoms worse. 

✨Did you know?✨ 

There’s a link between IBS and endometriosis: they often co-exist together. If you struggle with symptoms like bloating or stomach pain, it might be worth checking for food intolerances, celiac disease or IBS.
