This is an amazing rejuvenation smoothie based on my recipe from the Brain Boost Diet Book. I have include lion’s mane mushroom powder which has been studied for its ability to support neuron health and growth. You can also find mixed medicinal mushroom powders which are equally delicious. Choose a high quality coffee or alternatively Yerba mate tea or green tea if you prefer. If Caffeine is a problem use decaf or dandelion coffee or chicory coffee.
Preparation Time : 5 minutes
Serves 2
This is a fabulous morning breakfast on the go – the combination of protein, healthy fats and coffee is the perfect way to support mental performance and keep blood sugar levels stable through the morning.
Lion’s mane mushrooms contain compounds that stimulate the growth of brain cells and protect them from damage caused by the aging process. Studies suggest that lion’s mane mushrooms may help relieve mild symptoms of anxiety and depression.
