This is seriously one of my most favorite smoothies! It is especially great for women and our eratic hormones. Even if you are not in menopause yet, chances are your hormones are starting to wreak havoc. This smoothie should help balance hormones and also end sugar cravings. Maca and flaxseeds are both very helpful for those annoying hormonal symptoms. Cauliflower, being a cruciferous vegetable, can also help reduce estrogen dominance, which is often a problem women have pre-menopause. More then anything, I love the way this smoothie tastes and it keeps me full for a long time!
