This might be a little too much information but I first made this smoothie while I was on my period and felt like my hormones needed a bit of calming support. 

Menstrual problems aside, this smoothie is great as an everyday snack, a post-workout drink or even as breakfast – or at least a pre-breakfast. Rich in proteins and healthy fats from the nuts and stamina-increasing due to the maca powder, this smoothie is a great start into the day!

This smoothie is essentially made with just five ingredients — banana, plant milk, nut butter, maca powder, and ground cinnamon — which result in a creamy, nutty, almost malty flavour.

It contains about
11 g protein
20 g healthy fats
22 mg of vitamin C
5.6 mg of vitamin E
3 mg of iron
141 mg of magnesium
870 mg potassium
and 126 mg of calcium.

Episode 5.
 
Now, you probably brush your hair and also (hopefully) your teeth – but do you brush your skin as well? 

Did you know that the skin is the largest organ in the human body, and it is also one of the most important – and neglected – way of eliminating toxins? It won't surprise you then that dry body brushing is a potent method of exfoliating dead skin, detoxifying the body, reducing cellulite and tightening your skin while also making it smooth as silk. But the list of health benefits doesn't end there!
 
Dry brushing is an ancient Ayurvedic practice known as Garshana, and one of Ayurveda's daily self-care routines. It is especially recommended during springtime aka kapha season, which lasts from February to June, along with other methods of detoxification and cleansing such as tongue scraping or nasal rinsing.

This technique only takes 5 minutes of your time, and less than four minutes to read about ;)
