This is one of my go-to smoothies when I need something quick, energizing, and full of nutrients—but still sweet and satisfying. It’s easy to tweak depending on what you have on hand, but I always come back to the combo of strawberries, banana, and a handful of hidden greens.

Wellness Notes

• Berries are rich in antioxidants, which help protect your thyroid from oxidative stress
• Spinach adds anti-inflammatory leafy greens and more antioxidants
• Chia & flax seeds are full of fiber and omega-3s—great for inflammation and hormone support
• Hemp hearts bring plant-based protein to keep you full and energized
• Yogurt (especially with probiotics) supports gut health, which ties into hormone regulation and immunity
