perimenopause:-flaxseed-berry-smoothie

Perimenopause Benefits (by ingredient): Frozen Mixed Berries: Rich in antioxidants (especially anthocyanins) to reduce oxidative stress and support brain and skin health during hormonal shifts. Also low glycemic to help manage insulin resistance. Ground Flaxseed: High in lignans and fiber, which support estrogen balance and healthy bowel movements—both important during perimenopause. Unsweetened Almond Milk: Low in sugar and often fortified with calcium and vitamin D, both critical for bone health as estrogen declines. Banana (1/2): Provides potassium and B6 for mood support and blood pressure regulation. Using just half helps avoid blood sugar spikes. Collagen Peptides: Supports skin elasticity, joint health, and may ease aches or stiffness that increase with estrogen drop.
