BERRY ALMOND BLAST
You can throw just about anything in a fruit smoothie to enhance its flavor such as honey, tofu, jams, any combination of fruits, peanut butter, juices, etc., but keep in mind it will effect the nutritional values.
1/2 cups frozen whole berries (use blackberries,strawberries or raspberries) 1 cup nonfat soy milk 3/4 teaspoons almond extract 1/2 cups silken tofu (about 4 ounces) 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
Combine all ingredients in blender and blend until smooth. Makes 2 smoothies.
"Omega-6 fats in Almonds boost E1 levels, key to maintaining energy and mood", explains Dr. Teitlbaum.
Almonds contain Magnesuim which helps the brain produce dopamine, a neuro transmitter that stabilizes mood swings caused by surging progesterone during ovulation - says Carolyn Dean, M.D., N.D., outhor od The Miracle of Magnesium.
