Sugar Balancing Hemp Milk Elixer & Health Hormone Production
Here is a hemp milk elixir that is energizing and wonderful for balancing hormones and nourishing your adrenals.
The adrenal glands help to maintain blood sugar balance. Cortisol increases blood sugar while adrenaline triggers the release of glucose from the liver and muscles. Any dysfunction of the adrenal glands can lead to imbalances in blood sugar levels. They are also closely tied to the entire digestive process, slowing digestion when we are in danger.
This elixir keeps blood sugar balanced and is packed full of adaptogens that bring balance to the body, helping to stabilize the immune system, hormonal system, and nervous system. These ingredients help the body resist the damaging effects of stress, such as oxidative damage and inflammation.
The main ingredient is hemp seeds which are very high in protein and omega-3 fatty acids. They are anti-inflammatory and support digestion which is easily disturbed when the adrenals are under stress. The hemp milk is sweetened with lou han and flavored with cinnamon which both help with blood sugar balancing.
Coconut butter not only tastes delicious, but it is also made of long-chain fatty acids which are anti-inflammatory, provide energy, and support the immune system. It also helps us to convert the short-chain fatty acids of the hemp seeds, and it also helps us absorb the nutrients from the herbs and powders in the recipe.
Ashwagandha is an adaptogen that has been used for thousands of years to promote health and wellness. It reduces cortisol levels and symptoms of anxiety and stress. It helps to reduce inflammation and also aids in focus and attention.
Maca helps to support the adrenals. It aids in reducing stress and anxiety, supports energy and vitality, and is wonderful for balancing hormones. Maca is also very high in vitamins and minerals. The addition of green powder boosts the mineral status as well as provides other phytonutrients.
Take a break and enjoy this nourishing elixir.
